Freddie Roach: Bradley fight does not make sense ? Boxing News
Hall of Famer coach Freddie Roach is certain of Pacquiao selecting Marquez as his next opponent for a November or December fight. According to Roach, a rematch against Bradley does not make sense, as the world already knows the Filipino defeated Bradley on June 9.
?Bradley, I feel there?s no need for that fight because the whole world knows we beat him,? said Roach in an interview to Examiner.com.
?Cotto makes the most sense to me because he just went the distance with (Floyd) Mayweather. If we can knock him out again at 150 (lb), which he said yes to, and if we could knock him out again, our negotiating power with Mayweather would be a little stronger,? he added.
Pacquiao locked horns with Bradley on June 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. While most analysts thought Pacquiao was ruling the show, the judges had a different point of view. Pacquiao, Roach, the crowd and fans worldwide were shocked to know that the judges decided to crown Bradley the winner.
The decision was controversial, marking the fourth loss in Pacquiao?s career. Bradley walked away with Pacquiao?s WBO welterweight title but did not feel the respect of a champion. Therefore, the unbeaten American has been super eager to take on Pacquiao once again to show the world he indeed defeated the Pac-man.
For now, Pacquiao?s next opponent is a mystery. The Filipino is still not sure as to whom he wants to face. Top Rank?s Bob Arum visited Pacquiao last month in the Philippines to talk about his opponent but the former WBO titlist was unable to decide. Therefore, Arum returned empty handed.
Right now, Pacquiao is more interested in fighting WBC titlist Floyd Mayweather next year. Hence, whoever he will choose to fight now will just be? step towards Mayweather. Pacquiao needs to select his opponent wisely. Another loss can further decrease his payout against Mayweather. If he is able to defeat Bradley of Marquez in November, Pacquiao will have a better chance of negotiating with Mayweather.
Pacquiao vs. Mayweather will most probably happen next year in April, as promised by Arum.
