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

If people are buying this hype train that Manny would beat Floyd in rematch is on something! Manny had a decent win over Broner but anyone with common sense could see Manny didn't look all that good! His footwork was bad, he threw a lot of wild punches, also missed a lot of punches! I have no idea why so many people think Manny will turn back into the old Manny! The guy is 40 years old and has not looked dominate in over five plus years!

Get over it y’all clearly lost Manny got schooled! Manny showed no visible signs of an injury before or during that fight! No one with half a brain is buying the BS that Manny was hurt. That is a selling point for a fight TBE isn’t interested in!

i dont know but pac vs broner was a lot similar like pac vs floyd........

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

I remember what he said also. Floyd at one point was saying if he wants a rematch, he could get one.

Later, after the thing with the shoulder came out, he said because he couldn't take his loss like a man, he doesn't get a rematch anymore.

You can probably find it online if you fish around for it enough, but I think what dude is saying is accurate.

Here it is:

Pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, who told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith on Tuesday that he would be willing to put off his planned September retirement to grant Manny Pacquiao a rematch next year, said he has changed his mind.

"Did I text Stephen A. Smith and say I will fight him again? Yeah, but I change my mind. At this particular time, no, because he's a sore loser and he's a coward," Mayweather told Showtime in an interview taped this week that will air Saturday night (9 ET) during the network's replay of last Saturday night's megafight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

"If you lost, accept the loss and say, 'Mayweather, you were the better fighter,'" Mayweather continued.

Also, I remember Freddie being asked clearly days before the fight if there will be any excuses at all after the fight, and he said NO.


I understand that they want this fight, and they should, but I don't think it happens.

Of course he's not going to say "well, we have an injury so there's that". They have to go in thinking positively and hiding an injury. That has happened time and time again.

It's not crazy to believe he was injured.

Travs.. but manny said he beat floyd right after the fight!!! manny didnt go home then 2 weeks later came out and said he beat floyd!! pac said he thought he won right after the fight in the post interview with floyd still being in the ring! then in the press, pac came out and said he injured his right shoulder.

so what is this that you and the other poster is talking about? the other poster said floyd was willing to give pac a rematch until pac started bullshiieting about how he won the fight. but im telling yall that pac said that right after the fight! so????

Here it is:

so then floyd bucked out. it's not because pac said he won. because if that's the case then floyd would have said no to a rematch right when the fight is over in the post interview then because pac said he won the fight right after the fight. so you are telling me floyd went home, said he'll give pac a rematch, then weeks later change his mind?

Makes sense what you're saying, but I don't know about that last part. There was absolutely nothing that showed dude had an injury, and there were a ton of lies regarding it.

The dude didn't even go to rehab.


We know what it was. His shoulders were no worse than any other boxer with his amount of experience. They went in to clean it up after the fight, just like they went in to clean up Mayweather's shoulder after he fought Berto. In my opinion, that's all there was to this. They just thought they could twist it to save face.

[IceTrayDaGang]

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.

travs... this is what was posted.
