I still think Floyd is going to beat Pac, just based on the size disadvantage. But it's going to be one heck of a scrap, for sure. :hat
Pre-emptive strike, Floyd has already made mention of a rematch with DLH and bluntly stated it would be for the money. I don't think he was being serious as Oscar probably wouldn't accept the fight anyway. I think that was more a message sent out to Pac from FMJ that he's not the only game in town and Roach is countering by saying that they won't wait around for Mayweather. He even used Cottos name knowing that this is the guy Mayweather is repeatedly accused of ducking. This is all about leverage for the negotiations table IMO.
Floyd's a punk. I have doubts he'll even take the fight, but I'll give him props if he does. Either way, Pac > Floyd.
Freddie wasn't kidding about the not waiting around part, **** the fight's only been over for a few hours. It's funny he mentions not waiting around, because I was half thinking they should've had Floyd run in the ring, 1990's WWF style, and had him and Pacquiao just fight it out as the credits rolled and the screen faded out. Manny just looked too fresh for fight night to be over.
Another way of Freddy saying I know PBF is all wrong for Manny and I don't want him anywhere near him.
Nah. Just a ploy for negotiating leverage, nothing more. They need to make it appear as if Pac has more options, so both of them may play the Mosley card, but they will ultimately fight, I have no doubt.
Roach is playing a dangerous game. If Pac ****s around and keep talking about Mosely, he's gonna **** around and get what he's askin for. He better stick with Floyd where he will only lose by decision. Shane will beat the brakes off of him.
True, but i was thinking the same thing about Mayweather and Cotto..... then Cotto got beat by Margarito and the fight went out of the window. Such a pity, it would've been a great bout. Can you imagine if the winner of Mayweather/Marquez goes against Pacquiao by September this year?? That fight would be ****ING HUGE!!! I would cancel my wedding to see that one. :yep
