Comments Thread For: Roach: Mikey Garcia Wants Pacquiao - I'd Love To See That Fight!

[Schmerzen]

roach stfu pls, just let him retire after horn. pacquiao deserves to retire with a win, doesnt deserve to get his ass whooped in his last fight by a younger and fresher fighter. i wanna see loma vs garcia, thats the only fight that makes sense imo

[Rayzah]

Mikey please go sit your ass down some where... earn it. fight a live dog at 140, because what he did against broner only prove what everybody all ready knew, broner is not an elite fighter.

Pac will need to look better in the rematch with Horn if he wants a fight with a top level competitor. Even though he was robbed versus Horn, his timing was off and he couldn't pull the trigger like the Pac of old. I know he had a short training camp for the Horn fight and maybe didn't take him seriously enough. I have a feeling he comes back stronger for the rematch. If he can beat Horn and do it via KO, I would like to see him fight Mikey Garcia. Mikey is more of a counter-puncher, not a swarmer, runner, dirty fighter or clincher. He will stand in the middle of the ring and box, which gives Pac a better chance at winning if he isn't chasing someone or having to fight a head-butting clincher. A Pac in top form gives Mikey a tough fight and possibly wins by UD or SD.

no chance manny ko horn, not at this stage. if you think about it, who has pac ko that was clearly bigger than him? even with cotto, it was a tko. and marg took a major beating but no ko/tko. and this was when pac was still pretty much in his prime. the current version of manny will not be able to stop horn or it will be a very tough task to do it. pac needs to mix it up if he wants a chance at stopping horn. stop head hunting and go to the body more.

Same as always. Sign to fight someone average, but talk about possibly fighting someone elite at a later date!

July 31, 2017:

Trainer Freddie Roach gave an honest assessment of his fighter Manny Pacquiao last weekend, saying that he’s no longer an “elite fighter” at this point in his career, and that he’s just hoping to get one last fight out of him before he retires from boxing...

“We just don’t know when and where it will be, but hopefully it’ll come soon,” said Roach to Fighthype about a rematch between Pacquiao and Jeff Horn. “Manny at this point, we can fight that fight, but the thing is, I’m going to be honest, you can’t be an elite fighter and be a senator at the same time. It’s just too much. He has too much on his plate right now. Hopefully, it’ll be one more fight and then that’s it,” said Roach about Pacquiao.

Horn was out on his feet in the 9th round. Had Pac pressed the action he would have gotten a TKO victory. He can certainly win by stoppage in the rematch, but he has to train harder in camp this time around and not take this clown lightly. Also need a better ref who won't tolerate Horn's dirty tactics. Headbutts, rabbit punches, pushing, clinching. That shyt needs to be controlled.

You know Pac is gonna be fighting till 45 or so. These other young guys are gonna be coming for a scalp to add to their resume, so there will be money to be made by Pac. Pac will need more money to run for president, a presidents salary in his country is only 10 USD. He would be taking a paycut, he would have to stop ****ing **********s bare back, hating gays, eating pets

Bwahahahaha Mikey would get his **** pushed in.

[The Big Dunn]

No way Arum makes a Mikey/Manny fight when he has in house fights to make. My guess is Manny fights Horn 2x more then retires.
