I did not realise GGG was that small and to think people want him to go up in weight and challenge supermiddle and lightheavy.

I am probably not the right person to be talking about daft haircuts:p But although it's not the first

check this one from 2012

Manny and Floyd fans have already started having their heroes shaved into their noggins. To get both though ? has to be a first

"In the most American thing to happen since Man vs Food, American boxing fans are getting the faces of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao shaved into their barnets. In some cases - like the chap in the above video - people are even getting BOTH. "

Roach thinks Manny is the better boxer ? :-\

"I think Manny is the much better boxer, because he's had someone to teach him along the way. Mayweather, I think, he trains himself," Roach explained.
Most pundits believe that Mayweather has the advantage in terms of skills, especially when it comes to defense, against Pacquiao.
But Roach disagrees. He believes that Mayweather never learned how to box because the American "has never had a coach."
"He grew up in the ring. He grew up with his uncle (Roger Mayweather) and his dad fighting, but he just became a fighter naturally," said Roach. "He is self-made. But the thing is, he's never really had anyone teach him how to really box."
"So (Mayweather) does set traps, but if you're smart enough, you will see it. And Manny's smart enough to see it," said Roach.
Roach noted that Mayweather is "very, very good" at setting traps for opponents, where he tries to get them to attack him only to be stalled by his shoulder-roll defense, upon which he fires off counter punches.
"But he does it over, and over and over again," said Roach. "I know when he does it. I showed it to Manny, how to take that away from him."

Manny is not a slick technical southpaw by any stretch of the imagination. Floyd is.

Those fights would never happen. GGG is too big a risk and would be too big and strong for both guys imo.
If mayweather or Pac called out someone (nevermind called out, even a rumour) from a lower weight division they would get crucified for it but over the years we've had MWs calling out these two WW (who can both make LWW imo) and everyone is excited. And I bet we will have idiots saying they ducked GGG.

I don't think that is the point Roach is trying to make.

Floyd does have specific signals for the traps that he sets and so if your dexterous enough, you can take advantage of his moves.

Floyd has refused to agree to pay a penalty should he be found to be doping

"Floyd Mayweather Jr. has refused to agree to anti-doping proposals set out by upcoming opponent Manny Pacquiao, who wants either fighter to be fined $5 million for a failed drugs test as preparations continue for May 2's bout.
As reported by the Associated Press (h/t ABC News), both boxing icons have agreed to adhere to World Anti-Doping Agency rules. This means random, Olympic-styled blood and urine testing will take place before and after the fight to ensure no misuse of illegal substances.
However, with the main contract negotiated, Pacquiao's camp have pushed for the aforementioned fine to be imposed if either fighter posts a positive result. Michael Koncz, Pacquiao's adviser, recently indicated Pretty Boy's camp are unwilling to play ball, per Dan Rafael of ESPN.co.uk: "Today we were informed that Mayweather turned down the request."

Makes sense... Floyd is in charge and is dictating the terms of the fight, not Pacquiao.

I've been reading other sites and now Pacquiao fans are claiming Floyd is cutting down from 170 and that is his advantage. All from pictures of them in suits haha

This stuff is crazy, I have never seen such a lying fan base. I suppose it makes sense since team Pac lies over and over and over again but my god, this crap is pathological
