He made a pitch to Manny to train him for his fight against Larios. Roach left Manny to his aide ****** Fortune while he trains Oscar but Manny decided to stick with Roach knowing Fortune will be working only on interim basis. Based on M. Marley's interview of H. Rivera, a close aide and confidante of Pac.
I don't think it's anything personal. Atlas just believes what he believes...regardless of whether it's inaccurate. You can tell when he has a vendetta such as in the case of the Klitschkos.
have you listen to Atlas every pacman fight? listen carefully then come back and tell us your assessment. Speaking only his mind onesided.
He's supported Pac in just about all his fights and shown massive respect to him. Believe me he doesn't hate Pac. Compare that to his frigid borderline inane comments about Wlad and Vitali.
I can't wait to hear the excuse should Povs lose to Wlad. "I trained him. I worked with him...but he just didnt have the heart to get the job done."
picked Pac against DLH and Cotto, he's got a soft spot for Hatton so I think he had him winning. Atlas has never had any issues with Pacquiao so I don't know where all of this is coming from. The man just stated what he believes, which is what he always does, he's always been a man to call it exactly how he sees it.
Or Atlas could be jealous of Freddie Roach? He took a hit on Roach when he asked who was the trainer of James Toney when Toney was taking roids.
