    Dude, most people had JMM as the winner of that fight. :deal

    To Roach, Pacquiao is freaking untouchable and superhuman against Hatton, but against Marquez the fight could have gone either way. :rofl
    Don't you see the irony? :lol:

    I am pretty sure most Pacquiao fans, and some Pac fanatics call for the rematch. :hey

    Dude, Roach see's Hatton differently from JMM. I would agree to some extent because thats how highly i think of JMM as a fighter against Pac.
    Will it make you happy if i said that i think Hatton beats JMM, due to size and work rate? As i dont see JMM doing well at the higher weight while getting older.

    I also want that rematch, but why keep on whining?? this is still partly business, and sometimes choosing an opponent depends on how much you can take home and who's name can you add to an already good resume.

    What are you talking about? 70% of the boxing media and boxing fans had JMM winning that fight. That is a fact. THAT is a fact.

    I don't have any beef with anybody saying that Hatton beats Marquez, that may very well be what happens if they ever fight. Going back to Roach, the guy kept saying they won the fight and that they won the fight right after Pacquiao got the decision. Now he says the fight could have gone either way. This simply means that he is not confindent and even sure Pacquiao won that fight.

    Obviously I am pointing out that if someone who is heavily biased towards Pacquiao is not sure of what happened that night, then the reality doesn't swing his way.

    like i said, if Roach proclaimed that Pac won clearly, he would have gotten a lot worse criticism. Dont tell me that's what you want him to say??? He said it was too close to call because it really was. Roach was just keeping it real.

    With someone as biased towards his fighter like Roach, I think he is lying to himself. IMO.

    Pac hater? **** off noob. :-(

    This subject was discussed to death already and I will not keep doing it.
    Do some research of when the fight happened, you will see the balance tipping in JMM's favor.

    Hope, he loses to Diaz. This would finally set up Payc U vs Diaz. I reckon Marquez can 90percent of the time exploit Manny's flaws. JMM and a prime Morales can outbox Pac.Which just shows the quality of these 2 Mexicans.Diaz is young and a good fighter. No one wants to see Pac against a 30 something years old anymore. I reckon it'd be time to face boys in their 20's fo a change. I think Pac vs Diaz is a better fight.
