    Which interview is this now? Roach does run his mouth way too much for my liking but based off this article that the TS posted....it would just be guessing.

    I take away the fact that Freddie is being realistic in his acknowledgement that Mayweather's style will be very tricky to come up with a gameplan for. But NOT that Manny's chances are slim to none. Course, what kind of trainer's going to admit that kind of thing anyway. Point is, you are drawing your own conclusions based off facts that do not support it.

    Yes, but he did say later on though that if Pac is ok with March, then he is ok with it as well. I really don't think Pac sabotaged the fight because he is not the one who asked for the unprecedented testing anyway.

    I don't know about the whole taking down comments bit, but I was banned for like a day for criticizing another poster because of his off the wall posting style so there is some obvious bias when it comes to certain things...



    As for the original article - everyone including Roach/Pac/Arum know Mayweather is a nightmare for Pac. If you look at most of his last fights in which he was herald as the 'chosen one'.. all his opponents stand right in front of him and try to trade with him. Mayweather doesn't just stand there and he boxes. But the detractors will say it's him being scared and running.

    Exactly my point Freddie Roach can not totally admit that Manny's chances are slim to none. So he is going as far as he can without saying it. Also wassup wit all the name calling from Pac Fan's? Why when you guys dont have anything of substance to say you result to calling people names. Thats lame grow the **** up and comeback with something legit to say.Real Talk!!!

    Yep the evidence is right there from Roach's own mouth. He knows Pac doesn't have the tools to deal with PBF's style, they never wanted this fight and hoped PBF wouldn't call them on their bluff but it blew up in their face.

    This **** is ****ing ridiculous.Roach will have to come up with a way to catch a highly mobile boxer so that his fighter get his punches off.Whats so hard to see about that? As far as Freddie not being ready in March.....remember pacman had a suspected busted ear drum after the Cotto fight, so whats hard to understand about him not all that happy about a bout in March?

    I have little doubt that an unprepared Pacman would be frustrated to hell just trying to land one punch on the elusive Floyd. A prepared Pacman may be a whole different story for Floyd. This is the nuts and bolts of boxing aint it? Its not rocket science.....but it is science.

    How great would it be to have a key part in either fighters upcoming fights!

    Forget the "he said-she said" **** and stick to things that are more profitable.

    Good Post Bro. Thats why i think the Pacquiao team sabotaged the fight so that they can be better prepared to fight floyd later this year. Really hopes the fight happens just mad i had to cancel my Hotel room and flight to vegas for that weekend.

    Even Pacquiao fans know he has an extremely low chance of beating Mayweather, even though they won't admit it. That's why most of them seem to be happy about the fight not being made.

    Totally non sense!!! Pacquiao is in his PRIME NOW!! This is the moment and they wanted the fight. 40 millions and forever in the history books. And Manny would have enough money for his great -granchildren to live like kings in the Phillipines. Right after defeating Cotto, with all the media asking for it. That WAS the perfect time.

    You see, the funny part is I AM NOT A MANNY'S FAN!! I really want to see Floyd fight him. I do think Floyd can beat him. Hell! I still think Cotto can beat him with the proper training, plan, and corner.

    May be one day, after you release that bear hug you have around Floyd's balls, you might be able to see that.

    Before the Cotto fight, I was convinced PBF would UD his ass. After the Cotto fight, I had to re-evaluate. Pac definitely has a chance and I feel it struck fear in the Mayweather camp. I mean why else would they run a smear campaign and demand stricter testing against someone who he should easily beat? Just my point of view.
