Roach Says Weight, Age and Speed are Pacquiao’s Keys

[kenso]

roach wasnt the only one who said those things about hopkins....... some people should start taking credit too, because hopkins looked winded against calzaghe but against pav he put on the performance of his career. maybe some FANS should also consider what they predicted in the hopkins fight.

DLH looked horrible in his last fight. Just horrible. Hes not going to be better in this fight. Steve Forbes beat DLH face up badly in that fight. People are caught up in the mystique. DLH is fighting Pacquaio because he knows he is a diminished fighter. Mayweather was beating his head in all night... Forbes was beating his head in all night... he doesnt have it. His only chance at beating Pacquaio is a knockout which doesnt bode well for him.

So I take it you are saying Pac wins??? you think 12rd or KO....if so I think there are alot of interested people in here in taking your points....

enough is enough... much has been said about delahoya-pac bout.

this is a blockbuster fight even if some hypocrites swear to sleep on fight night.

and those mexican fighters who allegedly support pacquiao are hypocrites... they are supporting delahoya if delahoya wins... and condemn him if he lose. that's it!

Glad to see somebody else can see the truth. People think DLH will win "because he's bigger". When has size ALONE guaranteed anything? Pac is much more skilled than him at this stage. Oscar DID look like **** against Forbes, Floyd, and even against Mayorga he got hit more than he should. He is NOT the same fighter, period.

I made an entire thread were I discussed why I believe Pac would win, but people just laughed it off.

I think the Pacman will be too fast for ODLH to catch him with anything. This will end in another KO victory for the "Pride of the Philippines."

[x-PeROxiDE-x]

Oscar will not be able to keep up with Pac over 12 rounds.

Which means he needs to close the show early.

He will be looking for one big punch to finish it.

Pac can box at a tremendous pace over the whole 12 rounds.

When did we start picking punchers over boxers?

IF Oscar can catch him early when he still has enough left in the tank to step it up and take him out, Pac is gunna be in serious trouble.

But if he doesn't, Pac beats him up over the second half of the fight. If Pac can't take him out, and oscar has a claim to most of the rounds in the first half, we may have a close and controversial decision to debate come sunday.

tHIS IS GOING TO BE AN EXCELLENT FIGHT BY NO MEANS WILL IT BE ONE-SIDED!

[fearlessbong]

I got a better suggestion, why don't you retire after this fight Freddie Roach? Did you even watch the Hopkins fight? Weren't you the one that said he might get hurt against Pavlik? Just to remind you, the 43 year old took the 26 year old undefeated champ to school. Age ain't nothing these days.

Yeah You're right baby age is not the factor at all, the big factor is.... ODLH loosing weight is the main concern here. remember when EM was weight drain in their 3rd fight against Pacman he was demolished in just 3 rounds baby and that is the one that cannot be denied. Hahahaha.

Im glad that Roach talked about the weigh thing and he's right. Pac is much bigger then people think and he's definatly bigger then Floyd. He shouldnt be at WW but he has the talent to fight there and the same goes for Floyd. I hope Pac wins and it sets up a ATG fight with Mayweather
