can't believe i'm starting a Pacquiao based thread but..

[XaduBoxer]

Not only that... Roach wants Cortez to ref the PAC-Hatton fight...

Hatton hates Cortez...
.

So do many, he is not on the ball anymore. Once a decent ref but he has declined in rapid fashion in his ability to ref a fight correctly.

Team Hatton can protest if Ref Joe Cortez will be selected...

Or play their own mind games and approve Cortez as the ref (like saying the referee will not matter)...
.

I hope Pacquiao tries and knock out Hatton in three rounds. Pacquiao will have a hell of a time doing that and if he tries to do that Hatton will knock him out in 3 rounds. Freddie Roach is a joke.

what freddie says and what he thinks are worlds apart.... so much of being a trainer these days is more than getting tham in pjysical shape but mental shape. By saying he should beat him in 3 rounds is somethign that "should" push pac to his best...

Still think hatton will wipe the floor with him.

He was a good ref, now he thinks he is part of the show too.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the aforementioned big mouth trainers may have trained one or two World Champions between them .......or did they just talk about it.

So what ? These trainers are vocal when they're on top and doing well but dont get quite so vocal when things go wrong .
I'm in danger of spilling a few home truths but I will say most of these trainers deemed ' legendary ' are more unscrupulous than the big bad promoters .
They are media savvy in the main but it's all about the $.

Didn't realise you had the inside gen on these guys, do feel free to spill away whatever it is you think you know. Just in case it's escaped your attention all sport needs the media so media savvy you have to be, it's all about the $............a revelation at last , you can count on one hand the number of people who get to the top of their field and don't hype themselves so trainers are no different. Again the aforementioned trainers have paid their dues and are as entitled to play the game as anyone else.
