Comments Thread For: Roach Hopes Mayweather Returns To Face a '100%' Pacquiao

[Cigar]

Well if they fight again, that will be one night where I won't need to pop the old Ambien. You can't even call the first one a fight. It was more of a square dance.

[Curtis Harper]

Roach and his ****emamie excuse. Can't believe they had the gall !!!!

10 healthy arms would never be enough. May is superior.

Kick rocks, bro

This rematch will never happen. Pacquiao and Roach should have forced the issue with a war of words when Floyd mentioned he would grant the rematch last year. They could have put Floyd in a corner....but they let him escape. Floyd will never take a fight with Pacquiao. He knows this fight will put his undefeated record in jeopardy.....not that Floyd will lose......but I don't believe Floyd is confident he'd win.....

there's no way that floyd will fight pac. Floyd will continue his trend fighting mma and kickboxer.

Floyd is being a smart general, this is war. He's allowing the huge army in front of him to be weeded out a bit before charging in. Why create more casualties on your own side by not exercising patience? let Thurman beat on Pac, then let maybe Porter or Spence after that hit on Pac some more, or Crawford, Bud deserves Pac more, respect for the elders and all that. Hearns had the same plans with Miller, he was gonna utilize him to deteriorate T. Fury, make him a mandatory etc to soften fury up for AJ. Ultimately he's waiting for Pacquaio's age to catch up with him because his left cross is fkn lethal AF right now. It's too fast for Floyd to wanna fk with. It only takes one, Pac's a shark, like Zab Judah 2.0 new and improved when he smells blood, and floyd knows that he can get caught in a pac trap. Once he sees a vulnerability or lapse in Pacquaio's training or news, better believe he will be the first one in the mix. Floyd'll be back, a guy like that don't retire like that. He's too damn good and he knows it, it's his legacy to handle unfinished business because his fists are the worlds best and he's still sharp af! Imagine if Pac won the 2nd,(Though I would pick Floyd) then there would be a mandatory 3rd super megafight larger than any other event - EVER. Regardless of whether he doesn't need the money at this point, a man like Floyd doesn't train for thirty five years for the hardest profession and not contend against the best while he's still damn near his best. I know it was Tenshin, but I thought Floyd looked like a gym rat who goes on sunday in that mf. ! with the money from 2 more pac bouts, he'd have a TMT gym in every country in the world. throwin dollas outta planes and sht.

Floyd could not do a Floyd camp for real, he already beat Manny so there is no motivation to get really up for that fight, Floyd has done it all and beat everyone, I believe its got to really motivate him, its not money he dont need the money, he dont have the desire needed to train like Floyd Mayweather and it would take something special to spark that.

Thats why he wont come back to real fights, he would have to be something special to excite him, somebody he already beat couldnt do it for him I dont think.

Floyd has nothing else to prove. He beat PAC as an older fighter. F thee 100% he should have come with it.

For PAC to compete from a legacy stand point, he has to beat the best of today. That would be Canelo, Spence or Crawford. Outside of Canelo, that is a claim Floyd can’t make. It would make him the new Duran.

I agree he doesn't have anything left to prove, but I also remind you his fists are the best on the planet and he's still extremely capable and sharp of boxing, having never taking a beating since Castillo? Maidana got lucky with 1 or 2? He fell into a Pac trap and got out before getting stole too hard, whatever it may be...I agree, nothing left to prove. But, we are who we are. Destiny is a thing, we do not choose. and he's the best. they gonna box again. Now I've always said this for 2 years now ever since reading a very important book in my life, but it was reaffirmed on a film named "Rounders". I'm unfortunately about to link a clip from a movie, but, it's about destiny and I recommend you all watch

and I dont think Floyd will take a dive or fight weak to create a 3rd match, i think he really wants to keep that 0 for historic purposes. even for 300 mil.~ I say if they fight again, Pac gets countered coming in with a pull counter and cleaned up with the check hook, as long as Floyd waits long enough. I think Freddy Roach has people around him that are enlightened af, that wildcard gym kicks major ass.

[vitruvian]

He doesn't like making predictions? Freddie has made some legendary and infamous predictions in virtually every single one of Manny's fights. This is like Floyd saying he doesn't like people who refer to themselves in the third person. Why do people feel the need to contradict themselves like this?

[pasawayako]

The pac that floyd fought is like 50% because he only have one healthy arm but still make floyd run and hug all night just to survive, imagine what a 100% pac will do to him it would be a total annihilation.

[Scopedog]

The time for this has been and gone. It's not a fight with any merit either, in Floyd's last couple of "fights" he's looked trash. It's all moot anyway if Pacquiao loses to Thurman, which I think he will.
