Huge statement by Freddie Roach regarding Marquez III

Manny's was at his peak circa JMM2. He's still at his peak but is even bigger and more powerful. JMM on the other hand has slipped, aged, and is still as small as ever.

Manny's last 3 fights he's hardly had to take a punch. JMM's been hit plenty by Casa, Diaz and he's gonna be taking a load of punishment from Floyd.

A lot of people are dying to see a 3rd fight, saying how JMMs style is all wrong for Manny. I dont see it that way at all.

If both guys were peak then it would be essential and unmissable. But things have changed too much. Its not an even playing field anymore.

If JMM loses to Floyd, i truly hope he fights Hatton in England for both of their farewell fights.

I want to see Manny in with no one other than Floyd and Cotto now

 

This is easy....If they have to fight a 3rd time and you have to bet, who would you bet,
Pac or JMM???

My point exactly!!!

 

its a bitter pill to swallow but a fight at 140 against pac is gonna be damn hard for jmm man
if some way he was to come down to 135 then i see it looking abit better

 

co-sign

 

co-sign :smoke

 

Cotto???...hard fight for pac, mayweather??? even harder imo :hat

 

The more I look at it,the more I think Freddie Roach may actually be PacDBest.

 

lol

 

:rofl

 

Roach has said several times that Manny had a rough time making 130 for that fight with Marquez.

Whether or not that's true, only Team Pacquiao knows... Though... it is the only fight I've ever seen where Pac did seem to tire in the final few rounds. *shrug*

 

They said the exact same thing before the rematch.

Marquez is not getting blown away by Manny Pacquao in my estimation, we cannot underestimate a fighter of Juan's class.

 

i completely agree. maybe not in three, but ****, i didn't expect him to blow out hatton in 2...

 

After watching Manny since he first fought in the US, I can say without a doubt that he is the #1 fighter in the world today. I believe that he would knock out anyone of those fighters you mentioned within 5 rounds. He is just too fast & accurate along with the power. Mismatch.(Yes even with FM who I think would duck Pac at any cost. I doubt he wants to be knocked out in the same fashion as Hatton, on the world stage):yep

 

I believe Roach. JMM has already peaked, while Pacquiao has only gotten stronger and better. If they fought now Pac would stop him.

This is coming from a huge JMM fan. The guy is an ATG for sure, but 130 was his optimal weight really. 135 he can fight with the best, but not higher. And he is 36 years old. His power has gotten better with the extra muscle, but he is the older man now, and he has lost a bit of speed.

I still think he won the 2nd Pac fight, but as was said, that was a year ago, and JMM is the exact same fighter, whereas Pacquiao has only gotten better.

 

Yeah Pac will put Marquez in his place at 140! I think this is what needs to happen though, to shut that guy up.
