Pacquiao's trainer issues challenge to Mayweather
DALLAS, Texas (AFP) - – Freddie Roach threw down the gauntlet to Floyd Mayweather, saying the undefeated American needs to stop talking about beating Manny Pacquiao and prove it in the ring.
"Mayweather has to put up or shut up now or move out of the country," Pacquiao's trainer Roach said. "Let's face it. Manny is way above him at this point.
"Because I remember when he was ducking (Antonio) Margarito and he wouldn't fight him either. If he doesn't fight Manny now (Mayweather) should retire."
Roach said Pacquiao stuck to the game plan Saturday at Cowboys Stadium and it paid off in one of the most impressive victories of Filipino's career as he pounded out a 12-round unanimous decision over Mexico's Antonio Margarito.
Pacquiao, who has won 13 consecutive fights since losing to Erik Morales in March 2005, was planning to face unbeaten Mayweather earlier this year before negotiations broke off over a drug-testing dispute.
Heading into Saturday's fight Roach had talked about the possibility of this being the Filipino's last fight but Pacquiao said two days ago that he wants to have three more fights.
Roach said Saturday's fight went pretty much went the way they figured it would in training and Margarito didn't present many surprises for them other than the fact he came into the fight with a 17-pound weight advantage.
All three judges scored the fight in Pacquiao's favour with one judge Jurgen Langos had Pacquiao winning all 12 rounds.
Roach thought Margarito, who landed some solid blows in the sixth and eighth round, won just one round. But the Mexican paid the price as he suffered a nasty gash under his right eye and he failed to show for the post fight news conference because he had to go to the hospital for treatment.
"Manny only lost one round and did what he was supposed to do," Roach said. "We worked on going to the ropes and sometimes he stayed there a little too long.
"I told him to box him beat him down the middle all night long. The jab worked perfectly the straight left hand landed well too. If he had stayed on the body he would have stopped him. Body shots were taking its toll."
