Comments Thread For: Roach Admits End is Near if Bradley Gets Clear Win

[JaYDeuce11]

roach is a great trainer and has done an amazing job with pac but i never felt roach and pac's relationship was real. to me its just like the relationship pac has with arum. as soon as pac starts to decline arum and roach will leave pac in the ditch, although i think arum is worst but roach is not a saint.

one thing i notice is during the 4th marquez fight when manny got knocked out, when manny came back to his senses, i saw ariza gave him a hug then and wipe the sweat off manny's face, then u see roach in the back ground with a dull look on his face like manny just let him down or something. it was like roach was more concern about winning than what just happened to manny. either that or roach just didnt wanna show his feelings in front of everyone at the time.

Yea i just dont think Roach shows his emotions to the public too much. c'mon mannys his little son, hell he even hired a FILIPINO as his successor , Marvin something at wildcard. Manny gave Freddie all his success and a lil vice versa

The thing that made me feel this way is an article a few years ago about roach and arum's relationship. In that article it was saying roach went to arum to tell arum that roach has this new fighter that can be turn to a potential super star and then I think in one of pac's early fights with roach, roach didn't wanna train PAC or something for a certain match or roach didn't have too much confidence in manny but then PAC ended up winning that match.

wtf??? marquez didnt damm near finish pac in round 3.. wtf are u smoking on?? pac came back and fought back. and just because pac wasnt able to ko bradley he wont be able to do it ever? hmm marquez wasnt able to ko manny until the 4th match up. so?? LOL!!

pacquiao never even hurt Bradley in the first fight, now he is supposed too destroy him? marquez showed he could hurt pacquiao. he hurt pacquiao in the first fight. wobbled him in the second fight and finished him in the fourth fight. and when I say marquez damn near finished him in the 3rd round of the 4th fight, im saying that in response too people saying the ko punch was lucky and manny was dominated the fight. marquez had just dropped pacquiao a couple of rounds before he ko'd him. how was he being dominated?

[bluebeam]

because that was his first real lost in over 10 years. why would roach have that talk to manny for so soon? now if pac was to lose again then that would mean 2 lost. so now its time to start thinking about retirement and have that talk with manny IF he loses.

pacquiao got knocked out by marquez in 2012. morales beat pacquiao in 2005,that not 10 years between defeats

Decade's over so it's was.

Pacquiao's not not retiring anytime soon. He's broke. He's going to be fighting five years from now. A clear loss to Bradley will mean the end of Pacquiao as a top PPV attraction, but it won't be the end of his career. Not even close.

And considering he'll probably be able to feast on the Rios's and Alvarado's of the sport when he's 40 and shot, he could fight on. Which is very sad.

So what? He lost within that decade. Did you not read what I replied to? Read it again slowly and see what is trying to be said.
