Comments Thread For: Roach: In My Opinion, Pacquiao Can KO Horn Whenever He Wants

[Boxfan83]

stop it. his last ko was hatton, in the cotto fight it was a tko and that was before he was question about being dirty. since then he fought marg, mosley, marquez 2x, bradley 3x, these guys aint easy to stop. i believe he could have stopped algieri had he step on the gas but for whatever reason (maybe marquez ko still linger in his mind) he didnt wanna go for it.

That fight shouldve been stopped after the 3rd kd in my opinion.

blah blah blah pacquiao is not Ko'ing anyone anytime soon. Tired of the same crap Roach keeps telling the people. i mean hes not fooling anyone. Those days are long gone.

Both roach a pac are full of BS. Roach is, because he is always talking crap, and pac is because he supports throwing people in prison for Maryjane. FKin hypocrite!!

I understand where you are coming from and I can understand why Manny would be gun shy after the 4th Marquez fight, but with the world watching, in the biggest fight of his career, for 150-180 million dollars, , with a chance to hand Floyd the first official loss pf his career and the opportunity to offer a rematch for the same kind of money had he been victorious, he comes In unprepared Injured and throws 429 punches over 12 rounds. That Is not making an effort, that Is making a big paycheck. If there was one fight where he needed to come In wild throwing 100+ per round, this was It.

because floyd wasnt fighting him. look at the mosley fight, he didnt look good either, why? because mosley wasnt fighting. he had to do the chasing and every time this happens, he doesnt look all that good.

he would have tired out had he kept throwing while floyd is on the go and this would have make pac more vulnerable to get stopped himself.

I'm sure that Pac and Roach knew that there only chance of winning was to throw 100 punches per round but that was not going to happen with a 36 year old Pacquiao. I think the majority would have appreciated seeing Pacquiao give an honest effort and go out on his back rather than throw an average of 35 punches per round and make It to the finish line losing a lopsided decision. I think deep down Manny feels the same way or he wouldn't be petitioning so hard for a rematch. Believe me, I am not a Floyd fan and would have loved to see Pacquiao get the decision, or even better, the KO, but you have to throw punches to give yourself the chance to win. At least with Mosley he was able to drop him.

i know that was his chance of winning but it was impossible to do that since floyd wasnt fighting him. pac would be hitting air if he tried to throw 100+ per round and will tired out in the later round. he got the knockdown in the mosley fight because mosley traded with him and then after that he got on his bike. floyd was super cautious with manny.

That's not an opinion that's a fact, this is a complete mismatch

One thing about Horn is he hits like a mack truck, he also has deceptive speed and his right hand has put dudes spark out, he knocked some black dude out on his face with a right hand that wasnt even loaded but quick down the middle. Horn mostly seems to fight black guys so he is already use to the slick style and he has knocked them out.

Horn is the only one who will do the knocking out, people can doubt horn and talk **** cause he is a unknown white guy, but he has skill and power and intangible of lionheart and ambition which even the most technical gifted boxers dont possess.

Horn is no joke, i just hope people give him props and dont say he beat up a washed up pacquiao, i know if horn were black they would give him full credit for knocking out manny, but since he is white they will say oh he caught pacquiao when he was old already his win aint ****, but will give crawford, thurman, spence full credit, just like they gave floyd full credit when he beat up a washed up has been and those words came out floyds mouth he called manny a washed up has been, yet they act like he beat a tiger manny.

Couldn't help but notice your unhealthy infatuation with black guys.

Got any stories about Horn knocking out Whites, Hispanics, Asians that you could share? Why highlight Horn fights based on skin color? What does that have to do with Pac? Confusing.

Also, what do you mean by: "...just like THEY gave Flord full credit when he beat up a washed up has been (Pacman)? Do you believe he got full credit? What about Bradley? What is "full credit"?

Finally, is it your own opinion Pac is washed up? I ask because you cited Mayweather to make your point. If that's the case I find it confusing because you also make the case AGAINST giving Horn credit should he win(!).

You just come across as confused and bitter while concurrently holding some fighters in high regard for no other reason than skin color.

Other than that your post is okay, though.
