Comments Thread For: Roach: "Mosley Will Be a Hard Fight For Pacquiao"

[WESS]

DAM. I must be slippin' on current boxing news. Can you hit me up with the link to that? That's the new I've been wanting to hear.

Pac gave his word to the public that he will do what ever it takes to get the fight because he wants it so badly. I believe him.

So yes, he agreed to 100% Random unlimited OST that Floyd requested.

Manny, Roach, Arum, and all the old boxers who agree to fight Pac thinking that they can beat him are a disgrase to boxing. The entire world knows that Manny is going around young fighters like Berto. I know that Manny has tallent but his actions are making him look like an inflated boxer. Why would anyone pay to watch Manny fight Mosley when everyone already knows the outcome. Someone needs to put a stop to this bull crap. I am done watching Manny fights until he starts to fight boxers that are up to par. If anubody disagrees just think about the list boxers Manny has fought lately.

This is just what Roach does sell the fight as a tough one for Pac before it gets signed. Then after it's signed he ****s on the opponent and constantly flip flops on his KO preciction.

This is a pointless fight nothing Roach or Arum say will convince anyone otherwise.

This is going to hurt Manny, fights like these are irrelevant to his career, I can guarantee that this fight will produce the lowest PPV buys out of Manny's latest fights, I'm a die hard boxing fan but I can say that I will not pay for this fight because the out come is set in stone, Not to take anything from Mosely but he's just not going to be able to do anything to Manny

Berto, Marquez are way better fights, and they need to step up and make them happen

Marquez is smaller and older but he's already shown to have made the biggest impact in Manny's fights, and Berto is fresh and fast enough to go toe to toe with him

If Arum wants the biggest fight, it certanly will not be Mosely

OK. But if Floyd is scared of Manny and Manny is the super king of boxing and is will to take any tests then why doesn't he just take the full test with no cut off date. If Manny really wanted to put Floyd on the spot he would agree to the full tests with no cut offs. And if Floyd still didn't accept a fight after that then you would definitely know that Floyd wants no part of Pac. But Manny and his camp continue to dance around the testing issue.

who knows how far pac would have taken his offer, but Floyd didnt want to negotiate. All fingers should be pointed at Floyds team for this fight no happening. Pac has made a fair offer and we dont hear nothing from floyd except personal issues which i feel is his way of ducking the fight.

Long story short,
Floyd tried to fight Cotto, Arum didn't want anything to do with it at the time. Floyd and Margarito would have happened but Arum wouldn't pay Floyd enough. Floyd moved on to firing Arum and fighting De La Hoya under GBP to make the kind of money Arum said he wouldn't make. As for Clottey? Really a$$ hole? Really... STFU.

You should just stick to being subjective. Stop being mad that Pac is exposed for picking and choosing certain fighters at certain weight classes AT certain weights. You nor anyone else cant justify Pac fighting Mosley of 2011 or demanding that JMM fight at WW. It's sad really.... but I get it, you ignore these facts and bring Mayweather up for comfort food... Its very contradicting on your part guy!

Besides Pac said he has agreed to 100% random OST. There is nothing to discuss until Floyd gets out of court which ironically enough is where Pac wanted to fight Floyd in first place. How ironic? Especially since Roach said Pac isn't ready for a fighter like Mayweather.... and we didn't get a fight? I wonder why?

Pac shouold be fighting:

1. Mayweather AT 147 for the title UNDISPUTED #1 P4P
2. Martinez AT 154 for JMW title (time for Pac to earn the JMW title)
3. Berto AT 147 to unify the WW titles
4. JMM AT 140 (notice 140, NOT 147)
5. Bradley/Alexander AT 140 or 147

end of the day thats all excuses because floyd never fought them and pac did. Pac demolished 2 fighters floyd fought and in better fasion and fought 3 fighters he never had any intention of fighting. So how is he fighting Floyds leftovers. Flod has been a welter for years and his best win is mosley. Pac has been a welter for a year or so and has foughtmarg,cotto, and clottey and is now fighting mosley.

I never said anything about "left overs".

Bob (Floyd's former Boss) wouldn't make these fights. Floyd fired him and moved on to make millions that Bob said he couldn't do. How many Top Rank fighters have Floyd faced since "FIRING" his boss? Its not hard to understand WHY most of Pac's fights are IN HOUSE and WHY Mayweather hasn't fought a top rank fighter in a long time. Even when Floyd did want to fight Cotto Bob didn't want it to happen. Let a lone Margarito.

Again you can ignore the truth and point fingers all you want. I'm just saying don't be mad at me because Pac is picking and choosing certain fighters AT certain weight classes AT certain weights.

Back in 2006 when Floyd "moved up" to WW, he beat 2 out of the TOP 3. No catchweights, no bs. You cant say that about Pac now can you? He also "moved up" to JMW and beat a BETTER De La Hoya than when Pac fought him. Lets not forget that there was NO catchweights and no bs. Floyd beat the best at WW at THAT TIME. The names you mention are Top Rank. It seems hard to get Pac to fight anyone OUTSIDE of Top Rank so I'm sure you understand that Bob likes to keep it in house and Floyd's not in house (anymore).

You can attempt to say Floyd "ducked" them. Sorry chief, We all know that Bob doesn't like to deal with Floyd, GBP or anyone outside his stable. It f**ks with his money. I'm sure you see the bigger picture here.

"Mosley Will Be a Hard Fight For Pacquiao"? So why did Mayweather make it look so easy?

STFU, I would believe Roach if this was after Mosley KO'ed Margarito and was the #1 WW. They turned Mosley down a few times from all different weights. They wanted nothing to do with him then. It took a loss, and a draw plus a birthday or two in order to take on the "challenge" of fighting mosley in 2011.

Roach is attempting to pre sell the fight now. Its funny how he's talking of Mosley NOW when he had a different tune when Mayweather was fighting him earlier this year.

Mosey would be more competitive vs Pac than he was with Mayweather because styles make fights. But it doesn't change the fact that Mosley is old and wont last 12 rounds to get a win. Team Pac know this now. I don't hear them saying he's "too good" now? They waited for him to be NOT so "too good"....

its easy to judge through hindsite and say we all knew pac would defeat these fighters but we didnt. It just so happens pac is on another league to these fighters. How do you cherry pick cotto,clottey and marg. These are fighters that would beat 99 percent of the welters out there.

yes Floyd beat the top 2 at welter in 2006 but at a time when that division was weak. When it started to hot up he left like what he is doing now. Regardless of what anyone say, pacs recent resume is impressive considering he wa featherweight 2 years ago. Tell me who are better fighters at welter that pac could have fought.

co-sign... esp the bold italics.

Well, that whole post was pretty good actually.

What did you think of the two paragraph's just above the one you quoted ?

This one.....

" Any other fighter that an opponent request a random test and he declines raise su****ions and the media and fans will beat this person down...Now we are talking about Manny Pacquiao, now is a different standard. How Floyd DARED to ask for random blood test, geezzz!!!...I guarantee that it would it been the other way around (Manny asked Floyd for a random OST) and Floyd declined it would be a hole different issue...

Now, Manny is a natural born fighter and he's very good, but been a Manny fan for a while, it's fishy how he developed from a very good fighter to whatever he's now!!! "
