    In this article: http://time.com/3745567/freddie-roach-floyd-mayweather-manny-pacquiao/

    Choice quotes: “I mean he’s not a good guy, he’s not a good person, he’s not a good role model,” said Roach, who added that the usually affable Pacquiao doesn’t have much love for Mayweather either. “I’ve never seen him dislike an opponent in my life, but you know what, he doesn’t like this guy,” Roach added.


    I'm sure this is just more of the mind-games both camps have been playing so far.

    I don't think floyd is a good role model at all, then again mannys hardly a great role model either.

    How is this a mind game? Does Floyd care if Manny likes him or not? All these opinions and attitudes belong to Freddie Roach unfortunately Freddie ain't the one fighting

    But Floyd is such a nice guy, he only beats up the mother of his children, such bias.

    Floyd is such a ***** sometimes. Beating up women and children. I guess picking on people your own size is lost on him.

    Would like to see him in the ring with Wilder. Show him what's it like to not be in a fair fight.

    Roach gonna Roach! Though all this talking is gonna fall on deaf ears. Even Floyd Sr. seems to careless. The time for talking is over.

    Floyd is Father of the Year type material. He beat his baby momma in front of his kids.

    nothing Roach says can be taken seriously, he is the ultimate trash talker and changes his stance by the day. Not tong ago he was calling Floyd 'weak, delicate' and that he would be one of Manny's easiest opponents. Then he has changed his stance to 'fight of our lives, biggest challenge ever'. He;s all over the place; he loves to play mind games.

    Floyd is a very difficult guy to figure out. Many people say that one on one, behind closed doors he's very polite and carries himself well. In the public, sometimes he comes across as an a-hole. The question is, is it all hype job? I don't think Floyd would be as big as he is had he acted like a nice religious, polite citizen. He has been very smart in marketing himself in a manner that has exponentially made him a bigger star, hate him or love him.

    The only thing that really goes against him is the apparent domestic violence, this doesn't make him a good person. All the other **** could just be part of the $$ making hype job.

    Floyd messed up, he could've been nice to Pac and had an easier time on May 2nd. Now he's going to get a Pacquiao that badly wants to win.

    Roach should keep his mouth shout and just focus on training his fighters.

    Pretty much this.

    Also I thought he didn't like Rios and co. for mocking Freddie's speech?

    Did he 'like' marg? He was like the Di ck Das****ly of boxing at the time
