I don’t know any other fight that Freddie Roach has been this confident especially since his sole reliance is assuming Margarito has nothing left. Maybe they are expecting Antonio will be drained trying to make the catch weight limit of 151lbs, or if he may truly believe Margarito doesn’t have the same will to win. Either way is could potentially be a dangerous miscalculation.
I must admit his recent showings against Shane Mosely and Roberto Garcia were less than impressive performances, but there is also an underlining that may explain both poor showings.
Shane Mosely’s trainer Naazim Richardson caught Margarito with illegal wraps right before that fight January 2009, and with thoughts of potential punishment it’s no way he could be totally focused during that fight. Although Roberto Garcia is nothing more than a B list fighter is still was fighting a smaller guy who doesn’t have much experience at the Light Middle Weight division. Not to mention Margarito hadn't been in a ring in almost a year could have played into the ring rust. I could be wrong, but I if I’m correct Freddie Roach could be setting his fighter up for a surprise.
This is an interesting way to look at things….entire article below

and Floyd Sr. said that Mosley is getting his ass wooped by sparring partners before Floyd fight
I doubt SSM was getting beatup in sparring; i think it was more of him trainning for Floyd's style and was having a hard time figuring it out...well he never did as the fight showed.
Off topic Larry do look like Yayo LMFAO!!!!!
???hatton,cotto,oscar..he said all 3 of those had nothing left and were damaged goods

Yep, but if Freddie wouldn't talk so much maybe poeple wouldnt notice so much. the guy takes away from his own fighters win by discrediting the oppenent before Pac gets in the ring...make me wonder why are you fighting the guy if he has no chance Freddie??????
