Roach believes Manny would KO Floyd
October 27th, 2011
By John F. McKenna (McJack): In an interview with RingTV.com five time “Trainer of the Year” Freddie Roach believes his fighter, pound for pound king World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KO’s) would have a decided advantage over the defensive minded World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 KO’s).
Roach was quoted as saying:
“Pacquiao wins by a knockout.” Roach went on to explain why he thinks Manny would KO Floyd. “How can a guy that averages15 punches a round (Mayweather) beat a guy that averages 85 punches a round Pacquiao)? How is that possible? I can’t see it.”
Roach also said that Pacquiao’s southpaw stance would present a major problem for Floyd. “Mayweather doesn’t fight southpaws that well, unless he sucker punches them like he did Victor Ortiz.”
Roach also believes that having him in Pacquiao’s corner would work in his favor.
Roach said: “I really think I’m a better coach than Roger Mayweather is. I just don’t see him beating us. I don’t see that happening.”
Roach believes that Mayweather would be a challenge, but feels a Pacquiao – Mayweather fight will never happen.
“They want no part of us, so let’s face it. I feel that in reality,” Roach said.
For the time being Roach said he does not want to look past his next opponent
WBO/WBA light weight champion Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5-1, 39 KO’s).
“Pacman” and “El Dinamita” will square off on November 12 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas in the 3rd fight of their Trilogy. Their first fight in 2004 fought at 126 pounds resulted in a controversial draw. The 2nd fight in 2008 fought at 130 pounds also ended controversially when Manny was awarded a narrow win. Both fights were extremely competitive and action packed.
Pacquiao has been installed as an 8 to 1 favorite primarily because Marquez is now 38 years old and has shown some signs of slowing down, while Manny at 32 is in his prime.
Manny has also grown into a legitimate welterweight and fights comfortably at that weight. In addition Pacquiao since taking on Freddie Roach as his trainer has developed into a complete fighter.

Flo is scared wake up.
Raoch is fake ,dont b attached on mayweather name so that the world will buy ur stories .shame u cant market urself with out mayweather name mentioned ,i wish marques can just finish u guys for the 3rd time .
Just for the record manny had two hard fougth losses to jmm, mayweather came out of 22months layoff and beat jmm with one single punch. By the mayweather is still ppv king thanks to all who buy ppv to watch him lose, Dummies in 42 fights he leaves the ring as he did when he got in it untouch. Mean while manny had to throw 100 punches per rd to make up for his horrible defends.
Floyd Fans Logic:
JMM will school Manny as he always does.
JMM is sloppy and old match for Manny.
FMJ will easily beat Manny coz he’s faster.
Manny is on PEDs thats why he’s so fast and powerful.
@ Aesop
Stop with your fairy tales dum dum
@ Steve ( dumb or dumber I forget )
Pacquaio has said in interviews he will take the TEST. So why keep up the pretence that Fraud wants the fight. Dum Dum
I’m 150% sure that Pacman will win the fight against the scared and coward Floyd Jr if they fight.But i’m not sure if Pacman can knock-out coward Floyd Jr bcoz of his defensive and boring style.But i’m also sure that coward Floyd’s face will be damaged just like Cotto and ODLH and that’s it period.Bwahahahahaha!
@the bad:
the dates of testing samples are determined by USADA and the athletes dont know when theyre getting tested. this deters any attempted usage of banned substances.
mayweather legacy? what legacy? Marquez, barrera, morales, cotto etc. REAL WARRIORS and FIGHTERS have legacy. Floyd? Get real I don’t see him being in all time great. Who would honor him? Let floyd fight and win against the likes of margarito or cotto Then and only then he is to be considered as a warrior. Hatton have more respect than this mayweather not to mention that mayweather is ruining boxing as a sport!
Released by USADA, Floydie was tested on Aug. 29 and again Sept. 8. Why 10 days gap. PEDs can be removed on the 2nd or 3rd day as the floidiots has insisted. Why 10 days gap?
i don’t wanna hear anything until he takes the test Floyd Mayweather will demolish that little midget why do they have to piggy back off of money’s legacy he will fight anyone after the have already been beaten he’s on that s%%t because if he wasn’t he would have taken the test : you can’t say Floyd doesn’t want to fight because when somebody agrees to give you 10 million dollars for every pound he weights over 147 and then they ask you for a simple blood test and you say no then i asked you who doesn’t want to fight Freddie’s retarded no one is really gonna watch this fight with JMM simply because he’s not FLoyd they need the comparison to sell tickets do be fooled if they wanted the fight he would have taken the test period Get Off of Floyd’s sack or take the test and fight
THIS JUST IN! ROACH THINKS MANNY CAN KO TYSON AT HIS PRIME!
because of cheap cheat shot i will bet all my properties if floyd will pass a million ppv in his next fight with exemption fight dela hoya.
Manny Pacquiao would get crushed based on styles vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. The first point of contention is that Pacquiao would have to leap and lunge to reduce the 5″ reach advantage Money May enjoys. That is a recipe for disaster for Pacquiao, trying to lunge to hit Mayweather.
As I mentioned previously, Manny Pacquiao’s face would not last 10 complete rounds vs. Mayweather. Look what JMM did to it. What the heck do you think Mayweather would do to it?
Pacquiao ktfo Floyd in the court of law.
Good write up and fair analysis by Freddie Roach. However, Chris Williams alias Dave Lahr, the Mayweather Kool
Aid Drinker, will have something different to sah. Just wait for a couple of days when Dave or Chris will come up with his flawed boxing analysis!
having so much money today is fine,wait after 10 years who got more money, Floyd or Manny
just reminder once upon time Tyson got so much money where is he now same with Spink.
Phillippines got no Welfare Program for the poor, Floyd will end to this program or jail welcome to USA.
back in the Philippines pacman is the king superstar for life with money ,welcome to Philippines no welfare just smile and always happy.
@kamote
Let me ask you question?
What’s your problem with mayweather. I don’t get you. I like may better then PAC- but I would never talk bad about him, matter of fact I spend big money on him twice a year.
@Cliff
No matter how Pac would agree, Floyd Would always come up with something. His next demand would be a pregnancey test.
I sold 1.24 million with Ortiz. If Pac will take a 80/20 split I will fight him with NO TEST!
And, White Rice, you probably shouldn’t talk about “real men”. It’s not your strong subject.
@lacem up… It’s easy to describe what you think would happen, but as you can see, there are some different opinions on that. It doesn’t come down to being a Pacquiao fan. I actually prefer to watch Mayweather’s slick boxing skills, but I wouldn’t describe myself as a fan of either one. They’re supposed to be the best and I just want to see the fight. I don’t particularly care who wins.
@wicky…. ALL PACQUIAO HAS TO DO IS AGREE TO BE TESTED LIKE ANY REAL MAN WOULD,THATS IF YOURE A CLEAN FIGHTER.BUT IF YOUR ON SOMETHING THEN YOU MAKE UP REASONS AS TO WHY YOU WONT TAKE A LITTLE TEST> YOU ASK MAYWEATHER FOR A 10MILLION PER LB DEMAND AND HE SAID YES NO PROBLEM,HE ASKED YOU FOR BLOOD AND YOU ALMOST FAINTED! WHAT A FAKE YOU ARE.
mayweather vs ortiz official ppv numbers released. 1.24 million ppv sold. Over 78 million dollers generated #2 non heavyweight generating fight of all time. That give floyd top 3 highest non heavyweight selling ppv of all time…. Not delahoya not manny floyd mayweather ……………… Men lie women lie but numbers dont. Mayweather still ppv king. Now start the hait.
Pacquiao fans will always say the he is superior no matter what. That is fine. Pacquiao is a very exciting fighter to watch but that is it. Floyd has the technique to offset that high volume reckless style that Pac has. Floyd would fight his usual style. Feel out his opponent for the first couple rounds and adjust accordingly. The only way Floyd looses is if he just stands and trades foolishly. We know that will not happen. He will stick and move! Pac fans wrongly call this RUNNING! It is boxing not toe to toe brawling. Floyd will win on points like 9 – 3! If Pac keeps pressing forward he gets knocked out late.
I welcome criticism! If you say baloney Pac wins easy, then how? He only fights one way (brawling), hence he looks good against statues (that means they dont move a lot) like Clottey and Margacheato.
What will Pac do to crack May’s style? I asked this two weeks ago and got zero responses other than the usual Pac fan stuff like Floyd is a coward!
Should Pacquiao agree to the test and fight Flkoyd Mayweather, his punch output would be less than Pacfans have ever seen. Every time Pacquiao would begin punching, he would pay dearly.
Think about it Pacfans, noone is faster than Floyd. A 2″ height advantage, and a 5″ reach advantage? Floy would crush Pacquiao. Pacquiao’s face would fail him before round 10…
Floyd Mayweather dictites the number of punches thrown by his opponent. For example, remember how many punches Ortiz threw aganst Berto? Compare that to the number he threw against FMJ.
Each time Pacquiao would throw a punch, he would pay dearly. Manny Pacquiuao’s punch output would drop to levels never seen before should he ever face Floyd Mayweather Jr.
@ Polo. I agree with you, but the other fighters weren’t Manny: Ring magazine’s top p4p; fighter of the decade; etc. If you think Floyd would/could simply shut him down you’re delusional. If Floyd believed that for one second he’d sign for the fight straight away.
Pacquiao has a legit reason for not fighting Martinez. Now, what’s Floyds reason for not fighting the winner of Williams/Martinez? Floydiots.. tell me. LOL! Not big anough draw? LMAO! On vacation? LMAO! He is his own boss? LMAO
@wicky…. A lot of fighters floyd took on had high punch rates he turned all of them into three or four punch a round connecters. He shuts people down. There punch rates go to nothing
@ White Rice. It’s amusing to read you commenting on another’s lack of education. Ironic even.
Untill Manny takes the drug test just hush Freddy, your making yourself sound dumb, and we all know that Mayweather was on his way to stopping Ortiz before Ortiz sucker headbutted him and made him pay.
kÅMOTE…i know its easy to fool pacquiao fans,master bob arum says the sky is falling and pac nuts believe it. i wish pacquiao would be a real man a speak up for himself,but then again he (pac man) only has a 3rd grade education, and you kÅMOTE worship this dummy!it says a lot about you>>
Bottom line…. Manny wants Mayweather, but Mayweather wants none of it. Call it what you want, and talk about old opponents until you’re blue in the face, but Mayweather’s dodging and that’s all there is to it.
please stop it. Manny never agreed to take the tests. His camp already edmitted this a few weeks back.
@kamote if what ur saying is true then why are they thinking of taking on ortiz who weights exactly the same as martinez on fight nights 164….. Reality is manny is allowed every excuse in the book while other fighters get reamed. Too many excuses to avoid every big fight. Continues to wait for fighters to get destroyed then takes them on. Nothing worrier about that.
@Marius. Manny throws four times as many shots as Mayweather. He could afford @ 12% accuracy rate and still land more shots than Mayweather.
@kÅMOTE….. i deal with facts. fact you are the number 1 pbf hater in the world. excuse its ok for pac man to fight a slow overrated top rank bum in magarito, but martinez is too big?GTFOH..i would rather see pac fight a young lion than to keep on fighting bums, old bums at that. and for the record when has pac man fought a guy not using a catchweight? and roach will make martinez up down to 145lb anyway….pacman is so overrated!!!
In article like this composed with logical reasoning, Floydiots react as they would explode.. LOL! They know in depth of their tiny little minds Pacquiao Surpas$es Floyd in everything. LMAO
@marius
offcourse mayweather is accurate coz he throws less punches .
@kÅMOTE. Nice.
In article like this based on facts, I find it soo funny how floydfans post their comments. They insist that only Filipinos are Manny Pacquiaos fans.. LOL! They can’t admit the fact that Pacquiao surpasses Floyd in everything.
Birds of the same feather cluck together with their leader – Kentucky Froyd Gayever.
@hotprince28… iam i new to boxing??? i can tell you know nothing about boxing. what in the world are you talking about? pac man asked mayweather to pay 10 million per lb for every lb he go over,and mayweather said yeah no problem. now mayweather asked pacquiao to give a little osbt with no cut off.AND PACQUIAO CAME UP WITH MORE EXCUSES THAN A BLACK MAN GOING TO JAIL!!! FACT1
white rice says:
October 28, 2011 at 11:40 am
@wicky….how is it that martinez is too big for pacquiao BUT margarito wasnt? last time i checked margarito was bigger than martinez. could it be that pac fans know that martinez can fight and is not another slow old top rank fighter?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Are you stupid or what? Pac fought Marg to experiment in junior middle and Pac got hospitalized due to Margaritos body punch against the much smaller frame Pacquiao. What’s wrong with staying with WW? Pacquiao should even stay at LW.. Why don’t you just shoot Pacquiao in the head to make things easier for you?
In a composed article like this based on facts on how Pacquiao would dominate Floyd, I find floydfans comments so funny LOL. They insist only Filipinos are Pacfans.. LMAO. They hate it so much because in depth of their tiny little minds they know Pac surpasses Floyd in everything.
how will you defend an average of 100 punches per 3 minutes thrown at you?….
like clottey???….
bwahahaha…
@wicky….how is it that martinez is too big for pacquiao BUT margarito wasnt? last time i checked margarito was bigger than martinez. could it be that pac fans know that martinez can fight and is not another slow old top rank fighter?
Roach said his roided up midget would knock out the several guys too!
If you all HATE me so much, why are you still talking about me? You all say you will never watch me. You say I am boring, but you still watch me.
No one can touch my PPV sales. I still sell fights in a recession!
I am the PPV champ!
That other guy is the PAPER champ! hahahahaha..
I am the greatest!
floyd don’t wanna fight manny….
a lot of excuses has been said already….
but deep inside his big heart….
he really don’t wanna hit a CONGRESSMAN!!!
bwahahaha…..
Please boxing fans,you can all go to YOUTUBE to see FLOYD MAYWEATHER VS VICTOR ORTIZ PART 2/5 HDTV at 00:39,you’ll see that Roaches and his fighter Pacquiao are nothing,cause we have the name of the most accuracy fighters,their 5 last fights,we have.
1.Floyd Mayweather 46%
2.Andre ward 38%
3.Canelo Alvarez 39%
4.Nonito Donaire 34%
5. Chad Dawson 34%
Now,the man you call the pacman isnt in the list,what does it means?If roaches believes that he is a true trainer,why Pacquiai isnt among these fighters?Roaches knows very well why he refuses
Pacquiao to submit to the blood testing,with that statistic,it’s clear that Pacquiao cant beat Money May.
And, Martinez vs Manny is another BS fight. The size difference is too much. Mayweather is a better fit for Marquez, but again, there’s a chance that Mayweather would loose so he won’t take it. Really Martinez should move up in weight, but that’s not where the big money is.
I’VE SAID IT BEFORE. IF PROMOTORS OR BOXERS WANT TO PROVE TO THE FANS WHO IS REALLY NOT MAKING THIS FIGHT HAPPEN. THEY SHOULD HAVE CAMERAS IN THE ROOM. I’M TIRED OF HEARING IT FROM A 3RD PARTY.
BTW HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD/SEEN SUGA SHANE MOSLEY ADMIT THAT HE TOLD MAYWEATHER TO HAVE PACQUIAO TESTED? MAYWEATHER SAID MOSLEY TOLD HIM AFTER HIS FIGHT.
when pacquiao retires I’ll jump off a 16 story building commiting suicide. theres no one like my idol.
@Polo… Ortiz is good but amateur by comparison. Mosley, old and towards the end of his career. The same was true of De La Hoya. Marquez is way too small and Floyd even came in deliberately heavy and payed a fine to Marquez. Hatton had way too many miles on the clock and many Brits already thought he was near the end. So what’s your point? I don’t care about Mayweather’s rep, I just want to see the fight. It seems to me that Manny’s game and Floyd is making excuses. End of.
damn all top rank has been talking about is floyd the last two weeks. Sint manny fighting marquez….. Get off the boys nuts u say u dont need him so why keep talking about him???????
@wicky… When mosley knocked out antonio manny wanted no part of him. When ortiz beat berto and became the #2 welt in the world manny wanted no part of him. Floyd took them on both. Now manny wont face martinez even at 150 reality is manny wont take on anyone on top of there game always waits for someone else to defeat a fighter then takes them on floyd is taking on all the top guys everyone since delahoya he has faced has been ranked top ten p4p in the world except ortiz who was still #2 welt in the world. Preception and reality two different things.
Floyd’s pure ego. I don’t care who wins, but at this point in his career, Floyd won’t take a fight where he “might” lose. It’s all going to be under-experienced or over the hill fighters for future Mayweather fights. What legacy does that leave? K0ck!
Test, test, blah blah blah. Floyd’s got you fan boys in the palm of his hand, chirping the same nonsense. Manny already gets tested, just not a blood test during the final preparations for a fight. It’s a smoke screen. Floyd’s frightened to put hid ’0′ on the line with a proper challenge.
floyd is in hiding again…aren’t you guys sick of that?…your hero is such a tool, and a fool…freddy just said that to bring floyd out of hiding….@ floyd…don’t listen to what freddy says…your fans will wait for your return…even if it take all year..
Floyd is saying he wants the fight…Manny saying he wants the fight. They both saying they will be tested. The question is..is Manny willing to stay in the US throughtout training camp. He hasn’t said if he willing to do that. He just saying he willing to take the test. Thats what holding up the fight right now. Im sure that something else will come up from one or the other. They both got to have exactly what they want.
While it may turn out to be the most entertaining fight of all time, there is no way floyd gets KO’d. Yeah Manny does throw alot of punches but how many does he land. Manny accuracy is very poor which is the reason he throws alot of punches. Even when fighting guys that just stand there and take punches he landed a low percentage. Now you talking about the best defensive fighter in boxing, possibly of all time. How many punches do you think he really going to take. Lets be real..he don’t take many at all and it definately won’t be enough to KO him. Also Roach is right. Floyd don’t usually put out a high punch count but he lands about 40 percent of what he throws. He is the most accurate boxer of all time. Now you talking about the most accurate boxer and best defensive boxer to ever wear gloves. Yeah he will get hit but not enough to KO’d. The question is…will Manny be able to hold up to the shots he going to take. Floyd is usually the hitter and not the one get hit and when he does…it very few. His opponents only land 20 percent and less on him and they are usually grazing shots. It will be exciting watching Manny throw lots of punches and seeing Floyd show his defensive skills along with counter shots. No KO for either…
White Rice you must be a new boxing fan haaaaaaa what are you talking about Pac man agree to everything go look at his interviews on you tube you fool we are waiting on mayweather to confirm oooh i forgot mayweather made a excuse uhhhh i want you to stay in the US come on man know your sources
MARIUS know boxing please Floyd Mayweather Sr train De la Hoya not Roger Mayweather you fool Fredy Roach won more awards as a trainer than Roger ever in his life won boy please
@Anonymous thought we where friends ha ha ha and now ur calling me a retard after all the times i have backed u up!
white rice is right he needs to say he will do the test befor anyrthing
when will floyd STOPs his vacation and fight manny????…… so simple….. when….
BOB ARUM IS THE REASON THIS FIGHT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET, The test
is for the fans to stay interested, the fool notion that Floyd is scared that’s
rediculous ,the truth is BOB ARUM AN FLOYD CANT BE IN THE SAME ROOM
SO U KNOW THEY CANT COME TO THE TABLE
can anyone answer this? if pacquiao asked mayweather for a never heard of before 10million per lb demand, and mayweather asked for a osbt with no cut off. then whats the problem? you have one guy mayweather who said YES and one guy pacquiao who said NO. how in the world can you say its mayweather fault that the fight is not happening.pac fans know pacquiao dont want to fight mayweather PERIOD!! at first roach said mayweather would be the easiest fight,then he said that if we fight mayweather we would need more time. it just goes to show you that roach pac man ,and arum DONT WANT NO PART OF MAYWEATHER
they both have to come to the table …stupid
@ stevie and Dom ( or is it Dumb and Dumber )
I will put it in caps so maybe you understand…
MAYWEATHER HAS TO COME TO THE NEGOCIATING TABLE AND SIGN A CONTRACT BEFORE PACQUIAO HAS TO TAKE THE TEST HE REQUIRES
Is it so hard to understand that?? you retards
Freddie “Nostradomus” Roach…….” “Pacquiao wins by a knockout.” Roach went on to explain why he thinks Manny would KO Floyd. “How can a guy that averages15 punches a round (Mayweather) beat a guy that averages 85 punches a round Pacquiao)? How is that possible? I can’t see it.”
In the words of Roy Jones Jr……YALL MUST’VE FORGOT!!!! Manny Pacquiao threw a career high 1,231 punches, an average of 103 punches per round against Joshua Clottey and Manny only managed to connect on 20% of his punches……OH YEAH, AND HE DIDNT COME CLOSE TO KNOCKING OUT CLOTTEY!!!
@ the lion
dude i no whats its like to fight in front of thousends of people and after the 3rd 4th time it does not bother u, dont really see what that has anything to do with it???
take a drug test and there will be a fight simple
These Pinoy fans are retarded.
Pacquiao is a bum take the tests you cheat, your legacy is ruined until you take that test & fight Mayweather.
This whole argument about this fight is getting really old. Enough of this back and forth. BOTH fighters are acting like little girls. For everyone who sits here and doesn’t box, yet run their mouths, I would say take a step back and relax. If the fight happens, it happens. If not, oh well. Get over it. That being said, I’ll still make a prediction:
Mayweather over Pacquiao 12 Rd Decision
Now, go ahead…call me some Floyd name, even though I am not a fan of his. Just stating my opinion.
Memo to the Wildcard: Bob already used this tactic yesterday.
When your bou stops taking steroids then you get to see Floyd whoop him.
Manny Pacquiao threw a career high 1,231 punches, an average of 103 punches per round against Joshua Clottey and Manny only managed to connect on 20% of his punches. Manny does show a lot agression in the ring, but Mayweathers defense coupled with his offense would cause a ton of problems for Manny. The fact is is thay Floyd has faced guys that throw a lot of punches………..he has faced quicker and faster guys, but he has always figured them out. Manny has never faced a guy like Floyd, and I have never seen Manny adapt in any fight….that is why he could not finish off Marquez after knocking him down 3 times in the first round……he looked foolish in the ring with less than willing fighters in Clotty and Mosely…..so Roach is waaaaaaaaaaay off on this one.
Roache the steroid trainer continue to be fear of Mayweather.If
he thinks that his steroid fighter who refuses to do blood testing can ko Mayweather,no problem,but why not to take a simple test?Roach believes that he is the best trainer,for me he isnt,cause he uses steroid for all his fighters,and almost all his fighters dont have skills.What technics Roaches teaches to his fighters?punches,punches,punches.If he says that Roger Mayweather isnt a good trainer,the question that i am ganna ask him is:please Roache,who trained Delahoya for is fight against Mayweather jr?You Roaches.You had all advantage to beat Mayweather,cause he fought at 154 instead of 147,but
you lost this fight,Roger beat you,and he is the best.Look at
hbo the fighters who have a great percentage precision hitting,Mayweather is number one,ward,and others,but Pacquiao isnt there.85 punches per round doesnt mean good precision,Pacquiao misses a lot.
if floyd is stunned by mosley, he gets knocked out by manny. don’t believe all that takl the test nonsense. you guys are being conned by your hero. he’ll never fight pacquiao.
Floyds only way out this fight,us this bulls£it about drug testing!PAC ko,s him in 5 all day everyday!
Roach only said that because he knows the fight will not happen.
A defensive fighter is no match to an offensive and fearless fighter like Manny Pacman. It has been proven yesterday, today
and with certainty it can further be proven tomorrow.
After seeing an overhill Mosley nearly knockout Floyd in Round two, i have to agree with Freddie. Manny will knockout Floyd. Having said that, It wouldn’t surprise me if Floyd won. Floyd’s a great defensive fighter.
what the hell are most of u on about??????????
its simple pac tak a drug test and the fight will be on how hard is it
I think if all boxing fans took thier blinders off and actually looked at which one of these two boxers are liekly to be scared, you would see it aint Pacman. Why would it be? The man has lost before so he aint scared of that, he aiont worried about nothing. Floyd is the one that’s worried, he has got everything to lose!
looign at it from a even way, who do you really think is the one holding back from the fight, I just highly dought it is Pacman.
NO boxing fan including myself HAS A CLUE to the level of searing martial arts power that Manny possesses..
THIS is the KEY to Pacquiao…
It’s one thing talking about Floyds skills….once he’s been hit with a level of power like Manny’s HELIKE EVERY OTHER FIGHTER then cannot attempt counter punching for fear of TKO..
It really is as simple as this..
Floyd Mayweather Snr was in the corner the night Hatton got put to slepp & that family have been TERRIFIED, hence smokescreens & obstacles to avoid the fight!
I’m transparent about my views so once again, I’ll say read :
“Mayweather, Pacquiao & PEDS : The truth”
“Manny Pacquiao is now unfightable as he is a martial artist in a boxing ring”
PEDS is for the NAIEVE….martial arts explains Pacquiaos power pre De La Hoya.
Tecate stiffed alot of people on their last rebate offer involving Manny. Please take note!
even Floyd by himselves believe Manny will knock him out if the fight happen, thats why his not running of alibis just to decline the fight!!! and only fools believe Floyd can out point Manny if it happen…
I am certainly no Floyd fan, but when I looked at his last match against Ortiz then I do not really think that he looked that the defensive, he was more on the attack than Ortiz was, and I am not sure that PacMan would be able to handle the pressure.
floyd is branding manny as a midget. meaning, small guy and can easily be handled when they fight. but why he is afraid in facing this midget, to the point of making alibis on PEDs? isn’t it funny? where’s the “balls” of floyd, telling pac as midget but is afraid to face him? hahhahahha, funny floyd
@ Viva meXico
Hmm Judah knocked Floyd down, go watch the slow motion replay.
@ Take Tes ( What sort of name is that?? )
Its funny you mention that the test results are out for the Ortiz Mayweather fight, yet still no sign from HBO about the PPV numbers lmao. Mayweather has only had 2 fighters take RBT out of his 42 fights WoW thats cleaning up the sport isn’t it!! Or is it just a charade? As a defence in the deformation case.
One more thing how do you expect a fighter to take a test if the contract has not been signed?? are you dillusional
did you saw what happened to floyd when he was hit by slow, old and washed up mosley? could you imagine if it was strong, young and powerful pacquiao? floyd could have been dead by now…
Roach said from the heart and experienced. That’s the real outcome if Pacman vs the scared and coward Floyd jr fight will happened.which is why coward Floyd Jr have made many excuses bcoz he knew from his heart that he cannot beat Pacman.And much worst that he’ll experienced the same fate as ODLH,Cotto or even Hatton..and that’s it period.lol
How can you claim you’re the best when you’re even afraid to fight a midget and one dimensional fighter? That speak loudly of this man Floyd-HE IS THE GREATEST FRAUD IN BOXING.
@ Talkis cheap
Your Momma could of Knocked out Ortiz with his hands down DumDum
Hold on let me get this straight. Pacquiao at 32 is in his Prime?? Yes or NO
I don’t think you want to compare Floyd’s cheap shot or punching power to Pacquiao’s Retirement Punchin Power….NOT EVEN CLOSE!
booooooo..!! cheashot..
She says, “YOU NEXT PACQUIAO” (followed by sleepless nights)…….and later says “DON’T PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH, I NEVER SAID PACQUIAO WAS NEXT!”
WHEN FLOYD STUTTERS, IT ONLY MEANS ONE THING AND THAT IS IS HE’S TERRIFIED AND LYING AT THE SAME TIME!
yeah!!!! take the test, FLOYD!!!!! hahahah..manny is the man…and a real test for floyd…shutup already pac haters..
Floyds 15 punches are accurate punchase and I doubt manny could get that many punches off against Floyd’s defence. Good fight but Floyd is the smartest fighter out there. People talk about his skills but his ring smarts is what allows for him to dominate. I would still like to see Manny knock him out
To floyd’ fans: master Roach and the Pacman are the very best in boxing period, so I know you guys are just jealous! LOL!!!
No more hiding Floyd! Take the depo!
Since there is a strong probability that Manny is on the juice, I would have to agree with Roach. On the other hand, should Manny agree to RBT, that would mean natural raw talent against natural raw talent, and Mayweather would win hands down.
So what, all it takes is for one of those 15 punches to connect and the fight is over. Ask Mike Tyson and he will tell you about Buster Douglas. Mayweather has knockout power, ask Ortiz.
Roach probably believe’s the world is flat also.
Everybody talks when the tough guy is not around. Bottom line is that had Pacquaio not walked away from negotiations when the 14 day cutoff was on the table, this fight would have already happened. So all the tough talk is only because Roach and Pacquiao are hiding behind their refusal to take the test. It’s all talk, because they know they will never agree to testing.
The reason Roach is so unbelievable is because the things he says abount Mayweather he didn’t even say about Clotty who is no where the fighter of Mayweather. Roach is trying a litte too hard to make it appear as thought there is this big disparity in talent between Mayweather and Manny. If you didn’t know anything about Mayweather, you would think he was some mediocore journeyman fighter who hasn’t done anything. Roach is selling, but no one is buying it.
42 other said the same thing. If Mayweather throws 15 punches per round and still won 42 fights, that means his connect rate is much higher than his opponents who are only landing 5-7 per round. Pacquiao would be no different than agressive minded fighters like Ortiz and Hatton, who throw lots of punches. Pacquiao can throw 85 punches, but if he’s only landing 5-7, he’s going to lose. Throwing punches against zombies that can’t move is a whole lot different from throwing punches at a defensive specialist like Mayweather.
I’m so sick of freddie roach opening his mouth.Why doesn’t he just lace up the gloves and fight pacquiaos oppenents.
all we want is to see fmj vs. pac fight. winner or loser is not very important. just follow nsac rules & it can happen if both cannot agree on each personal demands.
roach should take is medication before any interview h
At the end of the day. People who are partial to this matter and know boxing feel that Pacman is the greatest threat to Mayweather. Knocking him out is far fetched though, and most boxing minds would give the fight a 50/50, because beyond media and folks at toprank, there’s a large percentage that favor Mayweather.
Manny could never KO floydie bec. floydie don’t want to fight Pacman!
@Lee … may be one of the greatest ever, but will he be known as the BIGGEST D U C K E R in boxing history if he does not fight Manny.
His perfect record will be a JOKE!!!!
Floyd could’ve built a better resume but that’s why there are others ahead of him on the ATG list. He’s still a great boxer and probably one of the most talented ones to have laced up gloves. Roy Jones doesn’t have a super amazing resume. But you’d be a fool to think he’s not one of the best ever when he was at the top of his game!
@Lee … be honest … Manny chased Mosley to fight, but Mosley ran.
Floyd did not KO Mosley … did not KO Marquez… he KOd Ortiz with a cheep shot… FLOYD IS A FRAUD!!!!
I think if manny&mayweather fight in the ring soon it will make a big fight in boxing history,,,people happy together…go go go go ….manny pacquiao keep up a good trainning knock out all opponent espescially mayweather,,, God blessed u emmanuel….
roach is looking for a big payday, u r so boring with your write-ups,[we aint looking past our next opponent] well stop talking bout PBF n get ready for November 12 jerk
WHERE IS FLOYD FRAUD NOW?
MANNY IS WAITING FOR YOU … PLEASE STOP HIDING!!!!
The former Pretty Boy had so much confidence he would not have avoided. This impostor no longer has that arrogance and is scared to lose. That’s why we will never see this fight. Leonard, Hagler, Hearns and Duran were in their prime and each felt he was the best so they faced off. None accused the other of drugs or demanded a test.
Ali tested himself against the best fighters. He talked his into getting fights with them, not to avoid them. That is the difference between him and Floyd.
Pac couldn’t even KO old man Mosley with average defense. He couldn’t finish JMM after knocking him down several times. Floyd has a better chin than JMM. So how is Pac going to knock out a fast FMJ with great defense? Technically it CAN happen but people talk like FMJ is an amateur.
We do apprreciate Floyd. We just want to see his brilliance against fighters who actually make him show his brilliance.
Floyd doesn’t have problems with lefties,in fact lefties have landed the least amount of blows against him.If Floyd beating lefties means he has problems with them it means Manny has way more problems with right handed fighters if you go off of all his losses against them.
Drugs or not, Manny couldnt even knock down Floyd, nevermind KO him
Floyd is indestructable!!
Fight fans are blessed to have a genius like Floyd fighting in our era and most dont appreciate it
Pacquiao is “THE DAMN TEST” — Floyd, take the damn test already!!!
TAKE TES manny did agree on the USADA so what are you talking about. Its your boy mayweather keep saying well stay in America and take the test. Haaaa come on everybody know that pac man train in the Filipinons come on lets bve serious TAKE TES
Boxers box, promoters promote and bodies do testing etc. Can you imagine if every athlete acted like Floyd and refused to play by existing rules because he did not like them? As much as I hate Dana White can you imagine one of his fighters refusing to fight because he did not like the testing? This proves what a diva as in Floydiva he is. Or as Arum says, he is a coward.
Manny could never knock Floyd down, no one can!
Who cares what Roach thinks. USADA results are out for Floyd v. Ortiz. Both negative. WHEN IS MANNY GOING TO (not verbally agree but actually) TAKE THE DAMN TEST?!
