    Roach told Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today going into this past weekend that he told Pacquiao he “could be as great as Sugar Ray Robinson if he concentrates, uses that speed, uses both hands and puts combinations together.”

    The Coach Roach has Spoken again!!! If you look at Freddie's quote on Pacquiao on all HBO fights he's had, it seems all the things he said about Pacquiao came into Reality.

    Here's some of Roach quote in the Past:

    Ledwaba Fight: "He can't Handle Manny's FirePower!!!"

    After Lucero Fight: " Pac is a Threat To KNockout both Erik Morales & Marco Antonio Barrera!!"

    I have the same belief that Pac will end up as One of the All time Greats. And Roach Solidifies That Belief.

    Here's my projected Path for Pac:
    At 130:

    Barrera
    Marquez
    Guzman
    Linares(title holder by this time)

    At 135
    Diaz/Casamayor
    Katsidis
    Valero(more accomplished by this time) Site Macau/Dubai

    At this point Pac Probably Dominated These Fighters:

    Then Call Mayweather/ Hatton at 140/147

    ATG for sure!!!

    I dont think you will see someone winning titles from flyweight to superfeather for sometime.

    Pac is one of the best of this era without a doubt.

    Pac has to take that Path to be called a modern Day Robinson. Robinson in his time is the undisputed P4P Fighter. Right Now we are Debating everyday if it's Pac or Floyd. Why don't they Prove it in the ring? Pac & Floyd fighting weights are only separated only by 8 lbs.

    Amonsot last fought at 130 before fighting Katsidis & give him Hell. I've seen Katsidis at The world cup, he's not that Big.

    floyd-pacman would be an absolute schooling

    hatton-pac would be a brutal beatdown

    you have to be out of your mind to think he should call these two out, he'd get smashed, although it wouldn't be a fair reflection of his ability, just too small.

    Pac will call hatton & PBF only if he's still dominating The Lightweights. If he struggled with Diaz & Katsidis, he needs to end his reign at 135. It will still be enough to be with the All time Greats.

    Nice post... from a guy named PacDBest... lol.

    Umm, yeah, if Pac beat Mayweather and Hatton, I'd consider him one of the greatest of all time. I can't imagine that being possible at all. Both would KO him I believe, he's too small.

    Nobody believe before when Pac was still fighting at 122 that he will KO both MAB & EM. Now at 130 lbs Pac's Power & Speed are still Devastating. Name a Fighter today that Carry his Power within 7 weight division Span???

    We all know Floyd's Power stops at 135. We already Know Hatton's Power is no good at 147. While Pac's Power nowadays are too much for any 130 pounder(Granite Chin or Bum).

    On thing I Noticed in my list from 130-135, All those Guys Vocally called Pac for a Fight. When was the last time Pac Called a Fighter???? When He was still at 122 he Challenged Ayala, MAB & EM. This is the reason I said that if Pac beat all those 130-135 fighters there'll be nothing left for him to call but PBF & Hatton.

    katsidis ain't too bog for pac. but he really should clean out 130 first before thinking of moving. i have always cringed when i think about the weight classes that pac jumped. he could very well be a 6 division champ by now. 112, 115, 118, 122, 126, 130. but there is no use crying over spilled milk, i know. so the best he can do now is to clean out 130 to leave a lasting impression in boxing

    I'm not sure how he does at 135 - he can probably win a belt. At 130, I think he will beat MAB first, then JMM, then Guzman/Soto, then Valero, then Linares. He will be an ATG in my opinion.

    it's still 7 divisions boy. don't hate the player. hate the game.

    a glass body? please. so he was ko'd once with a shot to the body. big deal. are you also saying that jose luis castillo or jhonny gonzales has a glass body? a [perfect punch to the body can knockout any fighter. and pac's loss is already ancient history dude. where are the fighters who ko'd him? nowhere to be found. where is pac now? #2, right behind pbf. i think his early ko losses are already paid for
