Freddie Roach: "Pacquiao has to SKIP MEALS to make 140 lbs"

[goldenglove2]

Did roach say he couldn't make 140? No! He just said he can't eat as much the end.


You act like everyother boxer in the world doesnt cut out thousands of calories from their normal diet to make weight.

thank you.

Plus if Pac is eating 6 meals a day to keep the weight on him for WW..then yeah, he needs to cut down to 3-4 meals to make 140...

I dont get what the big uproar is. These guys are looking for reasons to hate. For some reason Pac has them butt hurt.

freddy talks to much..he always contradicts himself...

your right. This is a blatant contradiction and it's obvious as to why he said this. I wouldn't pay too much attention to what Freddy has to say as he says thing with an agenda in mind (as does damn near everyone in boxing now n days).

[goldenglove2]

um....so first he had to eat 6 meals a day just to make 147 now he cant make 140???so whats the point of the 150 catchweight????this makes 0 sense

he said cut meals to make 140.....

so not eat 6 meals a day. whats the big deal?

I don't think Cotto looked like a sloth. He was matching Pacquiao until he got hurt and dropped. Then he went into his defensive/survival mode.

Clottey can put his punches together well, but you have to actually... uh... throw punches to do that. His footwork is slow and plodding though.

Cotto wasn't matching anybody with speed. He timed a few nice jabs in early on, but manny turned on the Jets in round two and let off a 15 punch combination in about 4 seconds in the last 20 seconds on round 2 where Lamply screamed, NOW HERE IS THE SPEED ADVANTAGE. Not to mention the all out assualts in the corners where Pacquiao would land about 10 pucnhes before Cotto could throw anything.

What's the point exactly here?

loads of fighters skip meals to make 140 does that mean they shouldn't be fighting at 140?

SMH..

Do you ever talk about anyone but Floyd?

This is a Pac thread.

You got me confused with someone else, dude. And, I was joking with my homie. Its too early to be whining.

It's great to hear from Roach again...

Bradley called him out at 147. Just sayin...

I'm aware of that. A call out and what they will try to push for are two different things. People will expect since Manny is the ring champ at 140 and the fact that is Bradley's best weight, the fight should be there (I agree with this btw). The only problem is that this fight won't benefit Manny the best money wise as compared to other WW bouts....so this is nothing more than Team Pac blowing Bradley off.

Unless Bradley is just trying to cash out, then I highly doubt (esp after the Abregu fight) that he will face Manny at 147. Just my opinion tho........
