    He's not a **** talker...The man is just confident. He also gives other fighters plenty of respect. Saying if Mayweather fights Pac then Pac will be in for a hard fight. That's being respectable, and honest. Even when Penolosa lost he said how great of a fighter Lopez was.
    So far a lot of **** he said came true with Pac though. How much has Mayweather Sr. said come true? ;)

    Roach can talk all the **** he wants, he doesn't have to get into the ring. His shakes are a reminder of what happened to him when he actually did enter the ring. The man has paid a big price to be a part of the sport. If he wants to talk trash and hype up these fights, I say go ahead.

    Miranda speaks no english and talks more then Freddy and Floyd Combined... so if Pac wanted to talk **** he would. And it would be translated within seconds from his followers.

    As a trainer, he has no equal in the sport today. He gets alot of hate from his detractors for that. A nice guy who tells it like it is and used to be a come forward brawler. He was a limited crowd-pleasing fighter and developped parkinsons but he still managed to become the best trainer in the world.

    I can see why certain people would hate on that.

    It does remind people of what happened to him in the ring. It's also one of the reasons for the decline of the sport. Ali was the sports' biggest star. Not as many people are going to want to let their kids box when they see the condition Ali is in.

    Roach is credible. He knows what he's talking about.
    He's a straight talker and may be annoying to some
    but definitely he has the credentials to show that
    he's not an ordinary trash talker.

    I certainly don't think he's the best trainer in the world, but I'm not surprised you do. Anyway, people who talk trash are always going to have detractors.

    And I'm not surprised you don't think he's the best trainer. However it as it stands the BWAA have voted him as the best trainer in the world.

    So my post was not about wether you or I think he's the best or not. The consensus is that he is the best, which is the achievement I'm talking about.

    That is so ****ing true. My little cousin is 10 and tough as nails long arms and likes to fight but my aunt won't let me take him to the gym she always says look what happened to Ali as an excuse.:-( I know there are many more who feel the same way.

    If you are one of those who would classify Hatton as a boxer:nut you're crazy. Hatton is at best a very good Club\Street fighter .... nothing more - nothing less.

    thats not my point. My point is whoever pacman fights haters like you will always said that he will lose but come after the fight you make a lot of excuses. Did you lose your house the last 2 fights you bet against pacman?:hat
