    "After I trained Oscar, I realized he had trouble with smaller guys and southpaws. Oscar sparred with Ivan Calderon, the former 105-pound champion, when I trained him for the Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight because I wanted someone real quick. Calderon slapped Oscar around like it was unbelievable. I said between rounds one time, 'Oscar, I want you to hit him one shot to show him who’s boss.' He couldn’t do it,"

    Either Roach really hates Oscar, or he's trying his best to boast ppv sales by selling this as a legitimate bout.

    boast sales most likely. he works for oscar, all the trash-talking is calculated to create hype

    If Pac loses Roach ain't getting paid by Manny... Oscar will be the one giving him a paycheck.

    What if Hoya tears Pacman apart?

    Will that effect Roach's reputation?

    Than he would say they tried the best, but Pac is just too small and he has to go back to the division he belongs.

    And they all happy ever after

    you gotta admit, both forbes and ivan aren't your typical vertically challenged fighters and their both special in ways. not trying to defend dlh, but forbes has an iron chin and calderon probably one of the best 105 pounders of all time. i just find it alittle strange roach is bringing it up before the fight on dec.6 and not before. calderon would make any top fighter in the world at any weight look very bad.

    Only a few people are dumb enough not to figure out what this is about.

    NB. I thought about writing "noone is dumb enough to..", but then I remembered where I was writing this.
