Roach Laid out the Plan! After DLH we'll take hatton or Floyd!!!

[XaduBoxer]

Exclusive Interview: Freddie Roach

Roach is so confident Pac will win over DLH he doesn't even want to talk about losing.

If hatton lose to Mallinaggi. They will call Floyd instead.

Roach wants Pac to be at the the top of the ATG list.

Looks like Roach Parkinson's might be more advanced than he thought. After Pac gets massacred against Oscar he will be ruined as a fighter.

It's bad to bring up Roach's ailment he got by giving fans good boxing fights in the past... I have to neg rep you on this...

You got a better reason for Roach trying to kill Pac by filling his head with nonsense?

You don't have to blame it to Roach Parkinsons disease if something bad will happen to PAC in the Oscar fight. You have to realize that boxers risked their lives inside the ring in every fight. There's always that risk in each single fight.

PAC is in his prime and he knows what he can take or not. He's also aware that his taking a bigger risk in the Oscar fight.

So please don't blame it on Roach's disease which actually he got also from boxing...

This is an interesting thread to bump up about how everyone thought PAC Man would lose to Golden Boy.

Hah hah, GREAT BUMP!!

Look at all the "experts" here!

I'll let you all know that I did in fact make the right call at a different forum, and I put up with a $#!tstorm of naysayers over at $#!tdog who all later had to eat crow and admit I was right. I think I even called the rd that time.

[Beanflicker]

For sure. I was one of the people who thought Pac never had a chance.

It turned out later Roach had some inside info on DLH not being able to pull the trigger anymore. I think the weight cut really killed him, too. Fighters just don't cut down to their prime weights when they are at the end of their careers.It's too much.

[bzkfn]

I may not have said it in this thread but I definately said Pac had no chance in another thread. I was genuinely stunned watching the fight.

Found my old $#!tdog post, dated 09-30-2008, 10:39 PM.

"5′ 6½″, 29 year old Super-Featherweight (130 lbs) at the peak of his powers.
5′ 10½″, 35 year old Light-Middleweight (154 lbs) is past his best and slowed down quite a bit.
Ultimately Manny wins no matter what happens on fight night.

Also, nobody has mentioned De La Hoya was KNOCKED DOWN early in his career by 130 lb Giorgio Campanella and also knocked down by 5'5" 133 lb Narciso Valenzuela.

Oscar was green then in '93 and '94, but some Pacman-sized guys still had him down, and they were nothing like the caliber of the Pacman.

Good post there, Cracky, the one about it being a "lose-lose fight" for De La Hoya.

I still think it's an interesting fight.
I really don't think De La Hoya could be competitive with Cotto nor Margarito anymore.
He can't beat Shane Mosely. There's no mega-fight at 154. He'd get slaughtered at Middleweight.
Hatton's the only other guy. De La Hoya will only take a big name now.


I think Pacquiao's going to win this fight.
De La Hoya has a puncher's chance, but one good solid left from Oscar is all it would take to KO Pacquiao.

De La Hoya hasn't been at 147 lbs in over 7 years. He'll be drained from training camp, dehydration, and age. His reflexes are gone. He's never had a good right hand. He's fighting a south-paw.
8 oz gloves as Manny wanted. Helluva a size differential, but Manny's in his prime fighting a much bigger but also a slower and older fighter. I think Manny's going to light him up with speed, combinations, and sheer energy.
