Freddie has been saying a lot of rediculous stuff lately, like Pac hits harder than DLH, and he's going to break DLH's ribs, ect ect. Do you think Freddie is trying to trick DLH's camp into thinking Manny will stand in front of him when really they have been working on a stick-and-move strategy? It seems strange that a vet like Roach would be saying these dumb things and insinuating on using a suicide strategy.
I don't know but I am getting excited about 24/7 premiering on Sunday. Maybe some questions will be answered then..

I don't know about "PAC breaking Hoya's ribs", I have not read or heard about that...

Freddie Roach SUCKS ....... Pac makes him a name. A Pac loss is greater to Roach's rep. What strategy has he implemented to Pac's arsenal? He is just lucky to have had PAC !
Yes, I think that's exactly what he's doing. He's probably upset Oscar dumped/blamed him after the loss to Floyd but also figures if he can get in Oscar's head & cause him to lose focus, it can only help Manny.Quote:

Freddie Roach has to be given some credit in developing Pacquiao's raw talent.Quote:

Actually most boxing enthusiast (not PAc huggers) feel Pac lost that fought. The Diaz fight was a joke the hand picked opponent has no skillset. Pac still lunges and is extremely susceptible to counter punchers. ODLH will have a field day using Pac's own aggression.Quote:

Pac makes Roach ......Roach is a joke ..........
It is just hyping the mis-match and it seems to be working as it is getting people interested in the novelty fight.
Is he playing mind games? Absolutely. Probably the only person on Earth that believes that Pacquiao is going to break De La Hoya's ribs is Mrs. Roach, and some of Pac's more blind fans. I just want Pac to win, to derail DLH's farce of a "legacy-building" fight. But there's no way Pac hits harder than DLH.Quote:
