Re: Roachs thoughts on oSCAR fLOYD.
I am a huge oscar fan but Oscar for a veteran fighter fought a dumb fight in rounds 9, 10 and 11 he was just walking into floyd's punches. I acknowledge that it was a close fight a draw at best for Oscar, and if a rematch happens it will be worse for oscar since floyd will make the necessary adjustment and Oscar is not getting any younger and even in this fight his reflexes aren't as sharp as they once were, his handspeed isn't what it used to be, he is more flat footed than ever and doesn't move his head at all in the ring. Oscar should fight either the winner of Cotto-Judah or Hatton-Castillo, there is still plenty left in Oscar to defeat either of these match winners but PBF at this stage would be suicide
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
