Roach: "Chavez Jr told me the Mexicans HATE Margarito for CHEATING"

Questions for Mexican fans, do you hate Antonio Margarito? • Who will be the crowd favorite? North Texas is heavily Hispanic, so Margarito will undoubtedly have strong fan support from Mexican-American fans, but so will Pacquiao, who is popular wherever he fights. "There's a lot of Mexican fans that will be on our side that want to see Manny kick his ass because he's a cheater. I talked to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. about it. Chavez Jr. tells me a lot of Mexicans hate Margarito for cheating," said Roach, who trains Chavez Jr., who is in Dallas training for a Dec. 4 fight (as is Amir Khan, who is also with Roach). http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/blog/_/name/rafael_dan/id/5792388/storylines-surround-pacquiao-margarito

Thats just ignorant, I can say the same thing about anybody. African Americans hate Floyd because he gives them a bad name. Africans hate Clottey because he threw the fight with Pac. Mexicans hate JCC Jr. because he is a wanna be living off his dad's name. Common people even Manny has some people from the Phillipines who don't like him. I'll tell you what though, I wouldn't mind seeing JCC Jr. fight Tony after this fight. That way Mexicans can say they hate JCC Jr. for getting his ass handed to him by a supposed cheater.

Used to be a huge Margo fan. Was always waiting for him to get a big state fight so all could see what I was seeing. Then came the Cotto fight and he didn't let me down. When he was caught trying to cheat I lost all respect for him and now question his previous victories. Don't hate the guy but don't care for him any more

Honestly I think Roach is just trying to get into Margo's head, as he always does with Manny's opponents.

There goes Freddie Roach again running his mouth even questioning Margarito's own fans, but nobody better say anything about the little loud mouth blonde dyke, it's a cardinal sin.

I don't hate him as a person, but I don't like him as a person and fighter. He's a ***** for cheating and making jokes about it. I don't like him even more after he made fun of Roach. He used to be one of my favorite fighters till I found out he cheated.

I believe it. My father only roots for Timothy Bradley and Mexican fighters. Lol. He used to root for Margarito when he fought. Now, he gets pissed talking about the guy.
