Comments Thread For: Roach: I Haven't Spoken to Pacquiao Since Day He Lost to Horn

[travestyny]

the statement i posted came from roach after the horn fight, no mention about him talking to manny about "do one or the other".

so did he have that conversation about "do one or the other" by himself in the mirror in the locker room? LOL!!!!!

ahemmmmm!!!!!!



Your quotation is right here. Now continue reading. I'll help you out with some big sized text because even though you were "born smart," maybe we could always stand to learn more.

roach said after the stunning loss to horn, “i told manny, give it a week, we’ll sit down and talk and see what’s next.” he said he did not urge pacquiao, who will be 39 in december, to retire.

“i said either we retire or fight a rematch at this point,” roach said. “which decision? We should take some time and watch the fight on tape, and then i’ll have a long talk with manny about what’s the best place to go: To fight (horn) in a rematch, or possibly retire, or go on to bigger and better guys. Those are his options.”

roach, who knows pacquiao probably better than anyone except for pacquiao’s wife jinkee and lifelong friend buboy fernandez, was asked if he knows what the future hall of famer is thinking. “i think what’s on his mind is what we talked about, having two jobs and you can’t really do both. I hope that sunk in to him so he thinks about it."

What was that? You said you were born smart????

[QUOTE=Sterling Archer;18925903]the guy is fluent in multiple languages, plays multiple instruments, and started out punching people in the head, now he's a senator and a rich and famous person.

he isnt dumb.

he just didnt grow up educated in suburbia like many citizens from first world nations.

floyd on the other hand can barely read, yet he grew up in the richest most powerful nation on planet earth. floyd grew up in the affirmative action era, had family members who were professional boxers, even had a daddy selling dope, yet didnt even finish high school.

Life isnt a sprint, and Floyd beat him fair and square, he actually schooled him.

I refuse the believe the people in the Philippines are ****** enough to make manny president. But anything is possible I guess

ummmmm....Trump.

at this moment in time, they are still sprinting.

we will see who wins the marathon of life between the two.

i reckon floyd will have a hard time keeping up that lifestyle in las vegas despite of the alleged amount of money he made.

floyd has won the battle no doubt, we will see who wins the war.

In the locker room, Pacquiao continued to comb his hair. He didn’t look at Roach. He stared at his reflection in the mirror. Roach has long said that when it’s time for Pacquiao to retire, he will tell him. He will be honest when others will look to cash in on the boxer’s fame without caring about his health. He will say the words that Pacquiao does not want to hear. “Maybe that’s what he thought I was there to tell him,” Roach says. “But I wouldn’t pick that moment. There were a lot of people. I wouldn’t embarrass anybody like that.” But try as Roach might, Pacquiao didn’t look at or respond to him. “Like he wanted his hair to be perfect,” Roach says.

so once again, no mention about telling manny to "do one or the other".. LOL!!!!!

even in his own words, he said he wouldnt pick that time to talk to manny about this.

Stop squirming and just admit you were wrong. Your own damn quotation was consistent with the statement here, just like I told you.

When someone tries to help you out to comprehend something, you should be thankful instead of attacking. That's not the sign of a man who was "born smart."

Manny could've at least picked up the phone or had a face to face and set things straight. That being said, I can't blame him for leaving Roach. When a trainer says you don't have it anymore, you gotta go in another direction. You can't have someone training you who doesn't believe in you. That's not to say Roach isn't right, but as long as Manny's fighting he can't afford to believe he's completely lost it. It's a psychological thing.

yet, no mention about roach telling manny to "do one or the other".. i have posted statements that came directly from roach after the horn fight on what was said in the locker room!!
