"roach admits fear in marquez trilogy"

[Mars_ax]

My question would be

Why fight marquez now, after he's aged a bit been through more tough fights including a humilation from mayweather, when you could have done this years ago when marquez was still prime?

Haha, is that a serious question?

You know why he has been selected and was prepared even before Mosley was done over. Marquez is the perfect Pacquiao opponent. Had there been some give in the weight I would have given it a chance, but as it stands, the fight is a hoax. You fight him when he is old and then call him to duty two weights above the weight he is decent at?

My 140 proposal is fair. This is a farce.

A catchweight of 145 isn't all that bad, miles old boy, it's not like when Marquez fought Mayweather who was a much bigger man, Pac and JMM would be closer to the same size. I mean the catchweight of 145 might be a small advantage for Pacquiao, but I don't see 'weight' making a huge difference or being all that significant in this fight.

For what it's worth, I believe Pacquiao demolishes Marquez, whether it's at 140 or 145, it's not going to be any 'weight' issue that's going to be Marquez's main problem.

The Mayweather CW was the same thing. It is to lure Marquez in and stop him and for Manny to say "There you go Floyd I could stop him at this weight, but you couldn't!". It is bullshit.

I kind doubt that the things Pacquiao and his camp do in re: Marquez, have a fucking thing to do with Mayweather.

The goal is to beat people Mayweather beat and do it in better fashion....of course after Floyd crushed them mentally by beating them to begin with. Marquez is the exception. Floyd didn't crush the warriors spirit.

But after Manny Ko's him it will be a Pactard new line to use against Floyd.


P.S. your previous post before this one was dead on! I agree 100% with you. 140 or 145 or any weight Pac wins easy. But it's about making it a fair contest so that it's exciting. Manny goes in and it's won on the contract, scale and everything else before it begins.
