My question is this, why would Roach allow Pacquaio to fight Oscar if he thought Manny would be obliterated. Neither Manny nor Roach need the money, Roach is not a stupid coach, and Pacquaio isn't a stupid fighter. Obviously both of them see something we all don't. Personally I can't really see Manny winning this, but knowing that both these two think so, something must be up. I didn't think Hopkins stood a chance against Tarver. I wasn't sure if Mayweather would be able to fight Oscar at 154 when he was fighting at 140, and still being way smaller than his 140 pound opponents(however once Mayweather fought at WW I was sure he would win). I wasn't sure how James Toney would do as a cruiserweight or heavyweight.

    Could this be Liston-Patterson? Definitely, is it likely? In my eyes yes, but once again not in the eyes of the guy who has spent more time then any of us with both fighter, that is Freddy Roach.
    Just for MONEY, Roach and PAC knows they don't stand a chance but a 10-20 million paycheck is definitely good for early retirement for both PAC and Freddie. If they do think they stand a chance then they're deliririous. After this destruction of PAC I don't see him winning any major fights in the future we might consider this his last fight.
