Ricky Hatton = Shot, Cotto=Shot,DLH weight drained Clottey=took a dive

i don't think so, i believe the whole "bad traing camp" stuff is to garner interest in the public for a fight that many view as a mismatch.

 

Nice overusage of an overused word. Regardless of whether the opponents were shot or not doesn't do that much to take away from Pacquiao, he was the smaller guy coming up and he knocked them all out easily.

Pacquiao's camp is fine, 24/7 is just trying to make you believe that Margo has a chance so that you get interested, the show afterall is just a giant promotion. Freddy and everyone else in camp is happy to play along. Manny will turn Margo all night and pot shot him through his leaky defence, he's just keeping busy while we wait for a Mayweather fight.

 

I agree with most of this, however margarito is not anyone's stay busy fight, he is always there to compete.

 

I don't think Roach is throwing it out there in case of an upset, just to spark interest.

Quote in bold is exactly how I see the fight playing out.

 

Margarito looked like a beast during training for his last fight, he was with his new trainer and everything...

Did you watch that fight? If Margarito fights even 300% better than that fight, he still gets destroyed. He looked very ordinary against Garcia

 

It is not out of the question that's for sure, especially in today's fight game.

 

Pacquiao's speed will take away Margarito's advantage in height and strength.

You should add this in your thread title: Margarito - slow like molasses.

 

Roach isn't trying to convince anyone that he is having the worst camp ever. Just look at the Pac-Margarito promotional tour. Have you guys seen Pac so seemingly fat (for him at least)? Training in the Philippines with all the distractions have always been a problem even back in the Morales days. And no, Roach did not make up the part of Pac being a Congressman. He also did not make up the part about Pac traveling 5 hours to Manila on Sundays to do a mini marathon and meet the President. People can see on video that Pac looks like he's slowed down a little bit. The past week Roach closed doors in the Wild Card gym to all media because Pac was still behind schedule in training. Latest word is that Pac is back on track. Now Team Pac is saying he is ready. Does that still sound like hype?

 

you gotta remember that despite how shot they were, he DESTROYED that competition.

hatton incredible KO
cotto destroyed by the 6th
DLH embarassed didnt win a round
clottey didnt win a round, **** fight as too scared to open up

now if he had SD'd 12 a couple or even UD12 then that's different, but he looked damn impressive with what he did.

 

It's mind games... roach was interviewed yesterday.

Don't worry about what Roach said, Pacquiao is going to beat Margarito and you know it

The excuses you bringing up if Pacquiao gets defeated will never be use anyway because Pacquiao will defeat Margarito.
