Does Freddie Roach Even Want The Mayweather Fight?

I think so cause I just heard that same interview and he said "We really want the Mayweather fight" obviously referring to himself and Pacquiao. I don't know if he wants it as much as Pacquiao though.

 

roach is a great trainer, but a compulsive liar

 

I try not to take too seriously the excrement spewing from Roach's mouth.

Roach's words really don't do much good for Manny when he says "Manny will take a blood test as long as it isn't within a couple days" and then Manny refuses to budge from 24 days, or when he says things like "for a champ Hatton was not very good" and talks about DLH being a drained guy who couldn't pull the trigger and then complains about the lack of credit that Pacquiao gets for his wins.

Who would talk more trash after a Mayweather-Pacquiao bout? Roach if Manny wins, or Floyd if he wins?

 

yea its weird also cause Roach said "Manny wants to be a WW now and he won't fight at 140 anymore" but recently there was an article about Manny's team asking to keep their 140lb ring title until after the Clottey fight.

 

Roach obviously. Mayweather doesn't really talk much **** after he wins. He gives all his competition credit, and generally keeps it moving for the most part.

 

Hmm, Olympic Style Drug Testing would be like giving two rounds away to begin? Is that because it would take away performance enhancers? I don't quite follow how adequate drug testing would really impact a clean fighter.

 

Wow, PacGwire and his joke coach Roach are still avoiding random blood testing like it's the H1N1. Pathetic.

 

Ooh!! Still with the intellectual discussion huh? Still a **** you are...

 

jealousy jealousy jealousy...

 

Nothing is physichally effecting the rounds. He's saying if Pac takes the drug tests HE IS GIVING IN TO MAYWEATHER'S DEMANDS! He's comparing it like...IF Manny is going to give in for this...Hell he might as well go ahead, and give Mayweather 2 rounds.
He's just saying Pac is the man, doesn't need to be pushed around by some punk, who thinks he can make the rules as he goes. I'm sure Pac does think the blood does effect him, but the principle of having your opponents dad, your opponent hinting around that you on roids, your opponent making demands (when your P4P #1) seems like the big deal here. I don't blame him either.

 

I personally think Roach is hesitant to have Manny fight Floyd. Contrary to popular belief Floyd actually does well against a southpaw. Roach loves to pick on hittable fighters who carry bad habits. Floyd is a tough puzzle to solve because of his ability to adjust.

 

Someone please explain how having a blood test is like giving away the first two rounds?

 

Are you that naive?

 

not to mention that both guys would be taking the tests so it can't possibly give either fighter "the edge".
