When we fought Oscar before the fight they said hes going to kill Manny and then afterwards they say he was old. So after we beat Cotto what are they going to say? -Roach http://sports.inquirer.net/breaking...2909/Roach-wants-to-silence-Pacquiaos-critics
Roach is being a bit of a hypocrite here. Wasn't he the one claiming that Oscar could "not pull the trigger anymore" and then admitted later that DLH was weightdrained.
FINITO rates JMM's win over Barrera highly. An already "shot" Barrera when he fought Pac and then Morales again, was again, prime and at his best when he fought JMM.
same as some of you guys saying oscar would kill pac before the fight and saying all kind of excuses after.
Not even close to the same thing, Roach was already saying DLH was old and could not pull the trigger True most people (myself included) didn't think Pac would be able to handle the jump to 147 and we were wrong, Props to Pac for that. But in hindsight (with all the evidence available) you'd have to be blind not to agree that DLH was not even in the fight.... Please don't tell me you disagree with this!
It's not the critic's fault that Pacman has been fighting a handful of over the hill Mexicans. And those two fights against MArquez dont help either.. Both were borderline gifts. Hatton fight was good.. Let's see him fight a live fighter in its prime who can actually box and punch back.
i even bet for oscar but i had to give credit to pac for pulling the odds. it's not the only factor why oscar loss, its just that we are surprised on how pac handled moving up from light to welter. we all know that oscar was past his prime but that doesn't stop most of us in believing that he would beat pac. about being weight drained, with that kind of improvement pac has showed, it doesn't matter what weight oscar was on that night. it would just make the fight a little longer and he could possibly last until the decision.
So we both picked DLH to win, both agree that DLH was weight-drained and past his prime but still give credit to Pac and feel he looked good at 147. But I'm called a Pac-hater for it
Dude, Roach have said Oscar can't pull the trigger anymore and even said Oscar will be weight drain before the weigh in happen. So in that sense Roach is saying Oscar is going to be a shot weight drain fighter.
