Comments Thread For: Roach Feels Pacquiao Should Face Horn - Not Loma or Crawford

[TonyGe]

It is true. Lil Manny doesn't have a chance against Loma or Crawford. Of course, lil Manny doesn't have much of a chance to beat The Hornet either. There is a reason Pac decided he didn't want a rematch with Horn for a title. He has already been stung by The Hornet and he doesn't want that kind of pain again. At least JMM just knocked him unconscious, but The Hornet was ruthless, stalking him non-stop and pummeling Pac to a bloody mess. It was reminiscent of Ali toying with Patterson, The Hornet just refused to end Manny's misery and kept punishing him, stopping just short of a sure ko. It was pretty ruthless. It sidelined Manny for over a year, as his body needed that long to recover from such punishment. Don't see why Manny would sign up for another beating like that.

Because this time Horn will have to fight by the rules of boxing.

Don't know why managers, trainers feel the need to discourage their fighters, albeit unknowingly. Instead of just keeping it to themselves.

It's like Finkel saying, "Wilder will not be rushed to fight Vladimir Klitschko." Although it's the opposite, Klitschko being on his way out and Wilder being the young fighter on his prime.

It affects their morale.

PAC will fight HORN,ALGEIRI,RIOS or BRADLEY again. They all have no punch. Forget about CRAWFORD,BROOK,SPENCE,PORTER. They might KO PAC.

Last time I check, ****Roach is in no position to advise Manny anymore

[RuleOfTheSpear]

All Horn wants is another payday and for the world to forget how he was embarrassed, humiliated, trashed by Bud lol

Manny should fight khant. The king khant has been whining lately. Cant wait to see pac laid his hands on him and hell i wont miss that..I'd pay to see those shaky legs once again..

No need for him to fight the horny kangaroo again. The horny win was fluke anyway. Got a decision from doing a kangaroo karate inside a boxing ring but Pac fans happily sent their greetings to Bud as he handled to the teacher the lesson of his life..

Bud will do the same to manny.sad to say but that is reality. Even with loma @140, he'd circle around pac picking up his pitty patty shots. There's no snowball in hell of a chance that he would say no mas but eventhough he got more power than loma, he'll have a good taste of his own medicine.... speed kills eh?

Old and past his prime Pac might lose to guys like Spence and Crawford because these guys are way younger and they are taller and have the reach advantage, Loma would circle around Pac picking up his pitty patty shots until he gets hit, he’s just a little taller than Pac just like Matthysse and feather fisted Linares knocked him down, if Pac hits him he will be in retreat mode all night and he might say “no mas” before the fight is over.

Roach shut the **** up.

Nobody wants to see horn again.

Agreed with all of you.

Manny needs to rematch Horn and stop ducking this man. Win that, then win a rubber match, then retire with money.

I'd like to see the rematch in Brisbane. Mark Nelson as ref. If Manny wins, he becomes the A-Side, then we can talk about where Manny wants to fight for the rubber match. But he's got to overcome this.

Pac has a couple of fights left and fighting an irrelevant and dirty fighter like Horn is not an option, he wants to fight Loma first and I’ll be happy to see him fight Thurman and retire win or lose, fighting even one of these 2 pound for pound boxers is 10 times better than fighting Horn. Horn didn’t beat Pac fair and square, that’s why he didn’t get the recognition and the majority of respectable boxing fans didn’t think Horn beat Pac.

If what you say is true and Horn didn't deserve the win, I can think of no better reason to justify a rematch to let Pacquiao prove it. Otherwise, he's a ducking coward.

And suggesting he should fight a super featherweight instead of fighting at his most common weight limit is a joke. He'd get NO respect for fighting anyone not at 147.

Keith "One Time A Year" Thurman's career is done. Too many injuries. He's the next Pirog.

Spence is too dangerous and you know it.

Crawford would put on a Mayweather performance - pointless for Manny to fight him.

Manny's fresh off a no-drug-testing dominant win over Lucas. So apparently he's not washed up. Ok, so let's see him prove the Horn loss was a fluke. THEN, win the rubber match. Then either face Broner or just retire.

His days of facing top fighters is gone.

Why is it so hard for others to understand that it's 10x better for Pac to fight challengers that are worth it. You got that right bruh. If Pac wins over Loma and Thurman. His legendary status even goes higher, since there is nothing to gain against Horn. He won that already in the eyes of the majority of the world.
