Did y'all hear about Robert Guerrero leaving GBP? That's probably what Roach meant by having Floyd's recent losing opponents fight Manny. GO CHARGERS!

Roach specifically said an "al hamon fighter" and mentioned danny Garcia. I think Guerrero would fight someone like Marquez, Ruslan or Bradley depending on who Pacquiao fights. Sounds far fetched, what Roach was talking about in regards to Al Haymon and Garcia.

I honestly think ruslan will ko manny and end his legendary career if he caught him flush...i actually think if they fought a rematch, bradley would beat him. (besides the robbery) after watchin the rios fight, i dont think manny has the killer in him or heart that he once had.

No, it's the same Manny, He just doesnt look like a beast at 147. His power didnt carry over well.

Nah, I thought Manny looked pretty uncomfortable at times especially during the first four rounds. Definitely not still the 2009 version of Manny. Still a top fighter but not prime anymore. I also don't think Mayweather is prime anymore but obviously Pacquiao has been fighting pro longer and much more shop worn than Floyd, who has been hit hard like 10 times in his career.

The reason why I think Ruslan is a scary opponent is because of his power, obviously. Pacquiao said Rios hurt him. Well, compare Ruslan's power to Rios. Ruslan destroyed Alvarado and his punches hurt him much more than Rios did.

Now, maybe some people can make an argument that Bradley has a better chance at winning because he's the better fighter, the better boxer, which is true but he doesn't pose any KO threat. Ruslan does. Another KO loss and that's a wrap for Pacquiao. A decision loss to Bradley he can keep going (obviously with less marketability but he can still fight).

So you think 37 year old Mayweather is still in his absolute prime? You think he's as good as say when he beat Diego Corrales? It's a testament to how good Mayweather is to still be dominating at his age. Welterweights historically don't do well in their mid 30's yet Floyd is. Bernard Hopkins has been past prime for about 12 years but he still dominated most all of his fights.

I think Manny looks gun shy. There's doubt in the way he seemed to fight Rios. Getting Ko'd on a counterpunch could do that to anyone, but I think anyone with boxing ability could beat this iteration of Pacquiao anymore which is a shame. He used to fight like he couldn't be hurt, and that was one of his strengths. I don't think we'll see that Pacquiao again.

I was going to say they better loud the fuck out of that undercard but not looking that impressive. I like Figueroa but against Canelo's brother? Eh. Santa Cruz is good action. Not good enough for a PPV though I'd rather have like Keith Thurman on there, Lara, etc.

Shots fired!!!!


"Tyson Fury, stick another tampon in*your ass. Your*period is mighty heavy with a strong flow. All you got to do is get Hennessy Sports to*send the contact. Stop talking all this nonsense already, it's getting very old. I dare you to send that contract*fat momma*bitch. Oh and by the way -*tell Hennessy Sports to answer the phone this time. All this talk needs to end now," Wilder fired on the social networks.


Reacting to weeks of insults, heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30KOs) fired back with a furious response to*British contender Tyson Fury (21-0, 15KOs). The talkative Brit has been taking aim at Wilder, claiming the hard puncher is ducking a potential fight. Fury recently aligned himself with promoter Frank Warren, who does have a very good relationship with Golden Boy Promotions, who handle Wilder.
