Freddie Roach Might Be the One to Push Pacquiao into Retirement, Not Mayweather

In the past, trainer Freddie Roach has suggested Manny Pacquiao might be the only fighter capable of beating Floyd Mayweather.

"If he looks bad, he retires," Roach told Associated Press columnist Tim Dahlberg. "At least I'll tell him to. And he may be the first one who will listen to me."



Roach's concern stems from Pacquiao's…

Lateef Kayode Apologizes to Showtime for HBO Remarks

“You got a 43-year old throwing everything he could at. We took the first five rounds straight. We split the rest, and we lose? This is what’s wrong in the sport.

I’m proud of my kid. He could’ve gone another two or three rounds if he had, too. He grew up in there.”
