Pacquiao-Marquez: Roach doesn’t want Manny to be nice on November 12th
September 28th, 2011
By Chris Williams: Freddie Roach feels that Manny Pacquiao has become too compassionate lately in fights against Antonio Margarito and Shane Mosley. Roach doesn’t want Pacquiao to fight that way against Juan Manuel Marquez on November 12th, because Pacquiao struggled the last two times he faced the tough Mexican warrior and appeared to lose both fights in the minds of many boxing fans.
Speaking with inquirer.net, Roach said “I want to see a knockout, I’d really like to. He is too compassionate. I feel Manny won both fights [against Marquez. We were the ones that were robbed during his first two fights with Pacquiao.”
I think it’s hard for a trainer to accept when his fighter has been beaten. It’s difficult for them to separate themselves from their fighter and look at the fights in a realistic way. Pacquiao should have lost both fights to Marquez, but being the more popular fighter, Pacquiao received a gift draw in the first fight in 2004 and a gift 12 round decision in 2008. Unfortunately, Marquez was the better fighter in both fights and this is coming from someone without a dog in the hunt. I’m just telling it like I see it. Marquez dominated Pacquiao and should have won both fights.
As for Pacquiao and his niceness problem, it really doesn’t matter here. If he goes all out trying to get a knockout, he’s just going to open himself up more for counters from Marquez. Fighting angry will just cause Pacquiao to rush in thoughtlessly and fight like an amateur when he needs to be using his brain on top of his shoulders to try and win.

If Floyd Mayweather Jr. fans thinks that Manny Pacquiao lose to Marquez I and II then that’s fine. Keep that comments to yourself. Let’s see how Marquez feel against Manny Pacquiao this coming on Nov. 12 and I will come back to you in this website.
is that the best news people can come up with for an upcoming bout? geez! man before and after the floyd fight, sooooooo many articles, soooooo many news!!!!
If Manny hadn’t been nice to Margarito in the final rounds,Antonio would be a cripple now…he barely recovered from this “nice” treatment.
This is a Pacquiao – Marquez article, let’s not drag Floyd’s name here.
FLOYD YOU COWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Floyd might cheap shot manny
Chris for you and your love ones sake stop writing I have a prophecy that readers will find u weird & will not bother to read your article, this will be my last time reading your article pls. heed to this advice God bless.
Pacquiao dropped Mosley with a punching power he never felt before. Mosley wobbled Floyd like a cross legged hen.
Marquez gone win this fight cause Bob arum’s dirt is out, an he’s gone draw first blood, pac-man better knock Marquez out gentlemen if Marquez stand up til the end he WINS this fight an the Floyd fight is dead an that would be to bad cause I was looking forward to Floyd knocking pac-man out

@Sean

@24 day cutoff
There are lot of things you don’t understand pal, simply because youre a FLOYDIOT LOL. I have a high paying job and I get paid just to make fun of people like you.
Dont tell me roach wants manny to take a cheap shot if he has the chance…just like mayweather did ortiz
We taught you already said that Christy…
@Kamote
I dont understand why your always up here. You are not a real boxing fan because if you were you would be hoping pacquiao doesnt fight floyd. Lol learn soomething about boxing and stop only watching pacquiao fights
Marquez won both of those first two fights an if Marquez win again they gone let him WIN for real an then the Floyd fight will be completely off the table, ain’t that right Bob arum, gentlemen Marquez is going to win that fight an all he gotta do is stand up til the end ain’t that right Bob arum ,cheating pac-man out of money is one thing but every body knowing is another, Bob arum an pac-man split coming soon gentlemen
Manny Pacquiao was the more popular fighter in 2004? That’s debatable.
2nd, ringside judge admitted he scored the first round wrong in 1st fight – Pacquiao should be 2-0.
Yo Chris you should get fired from this website for real, my 12 yr old son knows more about boxing then you.
@I know youre wrong
Why not just tell your boy floyd to “TAKE THE FIGHT”. You support him with his RBT crusade because you know that he’s no match against PACQUIAO with or W/O PED. You guys are bunches of Q U E E R S.
