Freddie Roach: "Floyd (Mayweather), come out of retirement...we'll knock you out too"

Floyd turns to Ellerbe "Make the ****ing fight"

 

Yep, I heard this.

I think Freddie & his own ego has finally put an end to the Pacman express... Mayweather should be a bridge too far for Pacquiao, I dont see Pacman winning this one.

 

You can't blame Roach. Obviously, he loves a challenge, has tremendous faith in Manny's abilities, predicted the DLH fight to a tee, and realizes that a victory over Mayweather would be the victory of a lifetime. Pac would be hall of fame immediately, if he isn't already. Plus, he's a great promoter, in his own way. It's a great way to lure Floyd out of partytown retirement.

 

Unlike Oscar, Floyd would actually fight back. Freddy should just be content with the Hatton fight for now, because it's going to be huge.

 

When DLH vs Pac was first announced everyone said the same thing. And look what happened. I understand that Mayweather is leaps and bounds ahead of DLH at this stage, however, Floyd hasn't always had his way with southpaws. Look at the trouble that he had with Judah. Pacquiao, has twice as much heart as Judah and has better lateral movement which is the only way to get around that amazing Mayweather defense.

 

Hatton would give him a much tougher fight due to his aggressiveness.

 

Floyd fighting back? he just runs, pop shot and clinch, easy fight for Manny

 

please...... hattons come-forward style is taylor made for pac. floyd would give manny fits b/c of his defense, quickness & counters. i definetly see floyds pot-shots landing & stunning pac throughout the fight. pac stops Hatton in dramatic fashion no matter where the fight takes place.

 

I like Freddie Roach, he knows what he's doing and how to provoke Mayweather into a fight.

 

Floyd vs. the Pacman was always the intention.

PBF was probably watching Cotto vs Margarito on TV at home thinking "damn i'm glad I am retired and don't have to fight either of those guys" (that doesn't mean i don't think he could beat either or both of them). Now Floyd watched Manny vs Oscar and thought "wow I can fight this tiny guy for a ton of money and with no risk of losing or getting hurt." Its an ideal position for Floyd as he can now come back and once again duck the real risks like Cotta or Antonio and fight the best pound for pound fighter in the world and claim he is the best.

Oscar threw that fight. It wasn't fun to watch and I put money on Pacman because I knew Oscar wasn't going to fight back. I don't think Manny or Freddie knew or know that the fight was fixed but Oscar is now focussing on promoting and I promise Golden Boy will be present when Floyd and Manny fight.
