    Does Roach Accidentally downplay Manny's wins?

    I remember him saying that Hatton just wasn't very good..

    He said Cotto isn't the same fighter.

    Crap like that.

    Yes,

    Pac fans only use his quotes for there argument. And than try to discredit his quotes when used against them by saying "Roach just said it to get under his skin."

    Fact is Roach admittedly chose the fight because he believed he was mentally shot - and he was right.

      Well I'm not trying to bash pac or his fans.. I just think it seems like Roach has an agenda, and even says it for the world to hear.

        Just trash talking. Floyd does that to all his opponents. Technically based on Floyds prefight trash talking all his opponents have been C level or lower fighters. He even said De La Hoya deserves no respect because he had no real achievements because his only good wins were against old Pernell and old Julio.

          Yup or just recently, that Manny Pacquiao is a one-dimensional fighter who lost to Marquez twice, got Ko'd twice by two bums etc,.

          So according to him, that's not even a challange.

            Floyd said that about one fighter, Gatti, and it was true. The Gatti fight was to expose him on PPV and it was a brilliant move on his part. So instead of saying "all" please reword that.

            Why on earth did Pac need to face DLH? Cherry Picked.
            Hatton was coming from a devasting KO loss - Cherry Picked.
            Cotto was coming from a devastating TKO loss - Cherry picked.

            If you can't understand that Roach has cherry Picked his last 4 fights, you need your head examine. I'm not taking nothing away from Pac, he's a great fighter, but all those fights were Cherry Picked. Props for Pac though for doing his business . Just not buying into the hype.

              That makes sense.

              Then again I don't get the point of downplaying your opponent, even though a lot of boxers do it.Call there mom fat, or something like that. Why make it seem like they are a nobody, when you would get more credit for beating them if they were a somebody.

                  There's a difference between trash talking than saying "I picked Oscar because I trained him and he can't pull the trigger anymore" and "Cotto isn't the same fighter after Margarito - he's shot".

                  Only Pacquiao fans seem to ignore this.

                    Floyd has trash talked all his opponents and claimed they ****** (except Marquez?). He said there is nothing to respect about De La Hoyas boxing and also called Hatton a C level fighter. Marquez might be the one who got off lightly. And Pac/Roach did not pick DLH, DLH picked pac. Hatton also wanted to fight Pac.
