Freddie Roach: "This could be our last fight" ~ Listen In

I respect your opinion...though, how do you see him beating Mayweather? Not that I think Mayweather is unbeatable, but I do think it is a very bad style matchup for Shane.

 

You're asking the guy who has a "sugar shane shall inevitably beat Floyd" thread in the lounge?

 

all fights between mosley, mayweather, and pac are all tough to call. the way i see it, mayweather will beat mosley via UD. i still think that shane does not like fighting guys faster than him. however, shane will text mayweather's chin like it has never been tested before and if he connects with a flush shot, the game could change.

on topic, no it won't be pac's last fight. they're just saying it as a ploy to make everyone think that pac doesnt care about the winner or mosley-mayweather.

 

Agreed.

Also... it will be a boxing tragedy if he retires without facing Mayweather if they both win vs Clottey & Mosely... everything must be done to make this happen.

 

One problem tho, Mosely says he cant make 143 & we know Roach dont want him at a healthy 147, he already said so & I dont see that **** changing if he gets by Mayweather, do you ?

 

I do think that Shane's biggest weapon in this fight is his mental resolve and his ability to "show up" in the big fights. If he can walk through Floyd's best shots and continue walking him down without getting discouraged, i think this could effect floyd mentally. Shane's only chance of winning is by applying pressure and eventually knocking him out. Maybe he could land something big in the late rounds, but I think it is highly unlikely.

 

could not have said it better, if he retires after this or before ever taking blood tests only the die hard *******s will still believe him

 

Down the line twenty years from now, he will still be higher than Mayweather, or the three mexicans.

Just as people completely forgot that Duran had a "no mas" against SRL, how much more for an allegation without proof.

 

Roach may just be trying to persuade us to watch his ward's fight with Clottey..

 

Logically it cannot be any more 'tarnished' than any other boxer who has retired without "demonstrating unequivocally that he is (and has been) completely free of PEDs of any kind". And as that is every boxer ever, it wouldn't make any difference in comparative terms.

 

... and the majority of boxing critics that made him Fighter of the Decade that doesn't believe the myth of A-Side Meth. Go back to smoking pot with the Mayweather brothers, you seem to believe everything those two says.

 

Roach knows that Pacquiao can't beat Mayweather so retirement is their best option, it leaves people thinking "what if" rather than seeing him retire after being schooled by a boxer that is just far too slick for him.
