We will knock down Oscar. We should get Hatton next, and then Floyd: Roach.

so true esp if he beats them

 

As a self admitted "*******", "Nuthugger", "SackSwinger", whatever you want to call me, allow me to propose the following scenario...

5 years ago, the most optimistic of Pacquiao fans could never have imagined Manny Pacquiao ascending to the heights that he has. 2 wins over Morales, 2 over Barrera, 1 over Marquez and a dominating performance in his lightweight debut. I'm well aware that Morales and Barrera were shot, Marquez won both fights and Diaz is the worst boxer EVER. But none of that will be remembered when Pac is enshrined in Canastota in a few short years. Moving forward, let's say that Pacquiao does what many have deemed impossible and beats Oscar De La Hoya (many will say the fight was fixed when Pac signs w/ Golden Boy shortly after). Then he goes on to beat Ricky Hatton (a "shot" Ricky Hatton). Then he pulls PBF out of retirement, pulls off the impossible again and beats the brilliant (but rusty) technician. Where then, do you rank Manny Pacquiao amongst boxing's all time pound for pound greats???

I know, this all seems far fetched but so did Hopkins beating Pavlik. Again, Pac's whole career as of the last 5 years has been a whirlwind.

 

I hope so bruh! I'm not quite ready to jump on board a Manny KOing Oscar prediction train but that would certainly make my day if it were to happen.

 

Have you ever seen malignaggi fight? Theres straw weights out there with a bigger punch!!

 

I'd love really pac to beat him, but I fear Oscar is just too big.

 

I hope ODH ko's him early

 

Pac by K.O

 

Pac Man @ no weight class could be beat Mayweather

 

Does Roach know what he's talking about "for sure"??? He said B-Hop was done, and advised him to stop fighting. Bad call freddie.




That said, I agree with you. I don't think roach would risk pacman's safety and even his legacy if he didn't think pacman had a legit shot at winning.

 

This is the 160 lb sparring partner Pac is tooling: http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=321743&cat=boxer

Draw your own conclusions.

 

We heard this **** already from Roach in the days leading to the JMM rematch......
.....afterward at the postfight press conference, Roach was the quietest guy there!

 

Why does Roach say "Manny’s best fighting weight is at 140 pounds" when he has never fought there. Or am I missing something?

I've already conceded this is a tall order. But the question remains, IF Pac adds DLH, Hatton & PBF to a list that already includes Morales, Barrera, Marquez and other quality opponents, where do you rank him??? On an all time P4P list.

 

manny has too much heart and not enough brains.
he cant win these fights but you cant blame him for trying as he has nobody left to fight at his original weight,and the money is at these high weight fights.
