Lufcrazy, behonest would Roach have allow Pacquiao to move up at 147 to fight a prime Trinidad instead of a decline De la hoya if Trinidad was around that time?
Simple question, how many 0's or undefeated fighters in their prime or no personal problems/issues has Manny taken out at WW or even in his career??? Now answer me this, how many 0's and undefeated fighters in their prime Tito defeated in his career and how, the man is simply a legend:deal
Well prior to the Oscar fight, no body knows Pac's ability at WW. In fact Roach told that Oscar would be Pac's only fight at WW, but the rest is history, Pac shows to Roach that he is an awesome specimen at ww(help by Pac's improvement). If Roach from the beginning knows that Pac has this kind of versatility at higher weight, no doubt in a heart beat ,he will let Pac fight the one dimensional, slow with his feet Trinidad.
You actually think that? Roach wanted Pacquiao to face De la hoya cause in Roach words "Oscar can't pull the trigger anymore" "De la hoya will kill himself to make weight." We talking about a prime Trinidad not a shot decline De la hoya.
Run for dear life. LOL He actually outlanded Tito in atleast 2 of those rounds, during his so called marathon.
Are you trying to insinuate that Pac's power is even remotely close to Trinidad's??? (If so, you should commit suicide) When the hell has Pacquiao stopped anybody to demonstrate that he has this God-given power. He only stopped Hatton with a perfect shot, that honestly even if Paulie Malinaggi woud've landed that shot he would've probably Ko Hatton too. Do you remember how freakishly accurate Trinidad was??? This isn't Margarito we're talking about here.
You did not get it? Prior to Dela hoya fight in Roach words, Oscar is the one and only welter fight that Pac would do. Cause Roach does not know Pac's ability at higher weight. I will repeat again, but the rest is history, Pac shows to Roach that he is an awesome specimen at ww(help by Pac's improvement). If Roach from the beginning knows that Pac has this kind of versatility at higher weight(as he shown in his ww fight), no doubt in a heart beat ,he will let Pac fight the one dimensional, slow with his feet Trinidad. Pac beats the one dimensional Tito.
I think Pac has to many different things he could do to beat Tito where i feel Tito is limited as to what he could do to beat Pac....
Tito is a left hook happy fighter..but watch his welter fights against southpaws and you can see he knows when it's not the best punch to use..he had a very good right lead, that he didn't ridiculously load up on..often used it like a jab almost, to pick up points. Nice little sneaky left uppercut aswell, that I could see Manny ducking into. His "one dimension" shits on anything that Manny has seen lately. I'm not going to get into the argument...Credit to Manny that he is getting pitted against this level of fighter now and his chances can actually be debated..but you got to put things into perspective. Roach has been very careful about who he puts Manny in against at these higher weights and when he does it..a prime Tito doesn't have the shortcomings that Pac has been able to expose in his opponents recently and actually possesses an arsenal that would be able to capitalize on the flaws in Manny's game.
