Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao, With Two Hands, Does Much Better With Floyd

[pasawayako]

WBA "regular" welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao showed flashes of his past brilliance as he delivered a dominant performance to earn a unanimous decision victory over Adrien Broner in Las Vegas on Saturday. The 40-year-old Filipino multiple world champion was quicker and more accurate as he controlled each round and cruised to the triumph to take his career record to 61-7-2.

Pac with one hand already make floyd run for his life. A handed pac will ko floyd.

Obviously they see Floyd as another huge payday, although I doubt it would have half the sales. Who wants to see the rematch anyway. I want to see Spence-Crawford. Personally I would not pay for Floyd-Pac 2.

Where's Lomachenko? Still hiding and saying Pac is too old? I guess if Pac was an 118 lb midget he wouldn't mind though...

So you want a guy who'd comfortably make the FW limit to slug it out with at WW? Such an unbiased man.

From the looks of things, Floyd would be happier just making money off of Pac without having to train hard and risk some fluke loss.

Loma could not comfortably make FW. He is 30 years old and carrying a fair amount of muscle on his 5-7 frame. Could he get down to 126. Sure, but there would be nothing comfortable about it. Further, Pac fights at WW but us only 5-5.

if the rematch actually did happen, roach is out of it!!! he had his shot and blew it by putting up one of the weakest training camp ever for manny against floyd. if this rematch happens, it needs to be strictly just pac buboy and fortune only. leave freddie out of it!

Pacquiao wants to fight Floyd because he was embarrassed about losing the first fight? Remember that Floyd said immediately after the fight he would give a rematch, until Pac came up with the bogus injury claim, and saying he won. Him not taking the loss like a man cost him the rematch.

Pac should be embarrassed with the Horn loss, and redeem himself with that and be happy. Stick to fighting school teachers.

Is there a boxer alive that wouldn't want to fight Mayweather and get the mega bucks? No. Pac is just looking to cash out.

when did this happen??? the fight had no rematch clause to begin with! and pac said he won right after the fight in the post fight interview!!! so when did floyd say he'll give pac a rematch but pac blew it by saying he won???? pac said that right after the fight in the ring

Dude went pro at 25 years old if I'm not mistaken. He jumped up in weight at 28, and again at 30. He fought at LW on his last Olympic campaign because the FW class was removed, then went back down when he turned pro (with no issues nor need to drain himself).

You don't suddenly become much bigger during adulthood, unless you're REALLY trying to (i.e. Pac eating over 6,000 daily). When a guy jumps in weight at 28 years of age (let alone 30), it's probably due to a lack of discipline, an exception to the norm or just to challenge himself.

Pac is 5-5, sure, two of those loses being robberies (Bradley and Horn) and 2 against ATGs (Marquez IV and Floyd). If Pacquiao is so "irrelevant" at WW, there should be no need to jump up several weight classes to challenge him, would it?

Dude's the biggest active ATG currently. Even past his prime and as a part time boxer, he easily disposed of Broner last Saturday. If he woke up tomorrow and decided to fully focus on boxing, he'd be a threat to any current WW IMO.

Men typically have a higher baseline weight after 30. Its just human nature. Some body types don't. Lomas appears to have grown. You claimed bias because someone suggested Loma should fight Pac. I simply provided the counter argument that Pac isn't a big welter (he could make 140) and that Loma couldn't comfortably make feather as he has grown since his days as feather and is now over 30 which makes cuts harder on the body.
