Don't be ****ing stupid. Margarito and Garcia don't give a **** about what Roach is saying. As for being dumb, that's reserved for the guys that are so confident on a Manny win that they laid down Paq at -650 last week when it's now at -450. I got in at Margo +475. You would have to be ignorant to still be cocky with a massive line move like that. Goosen has said that this fight should be at no more than 2 or 3 to 1 odds and I totally agree. As they say in Wall Street...follow the money.
Tactics? Yeah maybe... or he's allready making 'scuses "IF" Pac loses... Ref: "Are there any questions?" "Yeah I got one!! Got any 'scuses tonight Roach"
if Manny Pacquiao was not 100% going into a fight with a man who you can not beat at less than 100% we would not have the fight, it would have been canned.
The day Roach says, "Yes, we had the perfect training camp. Manny spent the whole time at the Wild Card, didn't do any singing, no movies, no politics. 100% focused on boxing." is the day I bet on the other fighter. Then something will be wrong with that picture...
Freddie Roach-"Listen Manny, dont get upset. I know you're in marvelous shape, but if by chance Margarito gets lucky, I've positioned you to still be at the negotiating table for a Mayweather fight." "You do the fighting, I'll do the politicking."
You shouldn't be onion skinned. He is your coach and he's responsible to tell you what's happening as he sees it.
Its mostly Roach messing about,if Manny was not going to b 100% they would have pulled him out of this fight.They are just trying to make Margo change tactics for the fight.
