Roger Mayweather: "Pacquiao Needs To KO Bradley In Rematch To Qualify For Mayweather"

[hectari]

Why does Pacquiao have to KO someone to look impressive? Floyd never has that type of demand thrust on him when he fights nothing but flat footed tailormade guys, maybe Floyd should start KOing some guys or else his wins are garbage, Flowmos are junk, they want others to KO fighters yet call Floyd a beast for pot shotting to a win.

weirdos.

Pac used to ko everyone yet everyone still puts pressure on him to ko people, why do you think he got ko'ed by JMM?

Whereas Floyd never gets put under pressure, people excuse Floyd like he is a charity case, with Floyd don't have to ko anyone, that's not what hes about type comments.

No wonder Floyd don't get ko'ed as he don't look to ko anyone so don't put himself in danger of getting ko'ed like Pac did. No one puts pressure on Floyd, so he can be specialized and boring like he always is.

[B]As Mike Tyson said, Pac is the better fighter[/B].

Why fight Pac when he still has speed and power?

[TonitosWay]

Roger is right. Before any fanboys get upset, pay attention to what he said...Nobody but Pac's die-hard fans think Pac EVER had a chance to beat Floyd and they never BELIEVED Pac could win, they just hoped and wished. Die-hard boxing fans do not believe that "Manny is back" just because he beat unranked, unskilled Brandon Rios!!

Roger didn't say Pac NEEDS to k.o Tim, he's just saying that Bradley is a high profile fight for Manny and winning, especially by knockout would get that insane hype going again.

Who did Khan stop to get his insane hype going?

This fight might be too little too late though. Of course I want to see it but no matter who wins I think the other side might point out the loser not being in their prime; which they might have a valid point.

They definitely never wanted to, and it hasn't changed.

Frankly, I've thought for a while that Floyd likely beats Manny, but I can't help but think they see Pacquiao as too much of a risk to be worth it, or that they see something stylistically risky for Floyd. Whatever it is, Floyd doesn't want the fight and it'll never happen.

This ^^^^^

The only thing I don't agree with is that the fight will never happen. I think it will, but only when either Floyd has already lost or when it's obvious that Pacquiao is shot to ****.

Khan just had his name attached to floyd. Attach name to floyd and hype begins. Remember Morales, Spafadora, Alexander, Paulie, and yes Pac.

But Khan is qualified

[Boxing Goat]

He offered him a 50/50 split the first time and just wanted random blood testing why didn't Manny take the fight then?

There is no excuse for that.

You can't lose to fights the way he did and just expect Floyd to fight him after that. He needs the Bradley win to convince everyone that he is really back. Then they can talk about negotiations again.

Because at the time, that was a new thing and when it was offered, Pac was P4P#1 and didn't want to be dictated to. That's understandable.

On the same coin, when Pacquiao agreed to take tests up until the day before the fight and a 50/50 split, why wouldn't Floyd accept that? One day worth of steroids would have done nothing for Pacquiao or any athlete.

It was a way to disregaurd the fight and you seem to not understand that even though it kept happening like a half dozen times since then.

The Khan fight is easy to make (that's the only reason it gets mentioned there won't be much to negotiate)

PAC lost some of his luster a Bradley win gets it back (a knockout makes casual fans pay attention again)

Pac never offered that during negotiations.
