Comments Thread For: Roach: "Mayweather is No Hatton, Cotto or Oscar"

[pugay_kamay]

Of course. Mayweather is a completely different animal and if Roach & Pac don't prepare properly, Manny can get embarresed big time. Unlike the idiotic Pinoy boxing fans, Roach & Pac know boxing.

Pinoy boxing fans are not idiot and neither dumb like you.

[pugay_kamay]

You're right. Mayweather won't do anything new. But Pac has never seen what's he's about to face and Mayweather is the best at what he does. Pac is in for a shock.

Same as Floyd.

This is a tough fight for both.

Who conducted the poll where Pacquiao was voted?
Asking you tube viewers only is a biase on its own.

this is gonna be floyd vs jmm part 2..just this time floyd is gonna hurt pac so arum and roach shut their mouth for good this time.

Floyd cant even hurt a bloated SFW.

He just said it so that Floyd will not be to scared and sign the contract already.

Ding! Ding!

That's why I wanted the link so I could see if the research was systematic,unfortunately it's not.500000 people voted on a site,the 500k are not representatative of a world population.Some people can vote more than twice,all you do is register your email,I've already voted.This does not take into account age differences in using the internet,the older boxing fans dont necessarily take part in the votes.Philipinos vote more for their fighter just the way they do on this site.

In short that title Manny got is hog wash and any analytical person would not even make reference to it in a debate,it's not conclusive

BB,

The votes were flooded by pinoys. i saw the campaigns.

Not only that, they had Oscar delahoya as the 3rd ATG welterweight.

Oscar Delahoya.

According to the article (script) - According to the World’s Greatest Ever Boxer’s website, fans worldwide were given the chance to vote for their greatest ever fighters in the eight traditional weight categories. They were made to choose from a shortlist of nominees selected by a jury of boxing analysts - Al Bernstein, Tom Hauser, Ron Borges, Jean-Philippe Lustyk and Colin Hart.

You're right. You'd never see Floyd flopping around on the canvas against Hussein.

I highly recommend you visit the "you can't have it both ways " thread.

Yeah, after he was knockdown by Judah and the ref ruled it as a slipped, isn't it?

[pugay_kamay]

If Roach doesn't believe Manny can knock Floyd out then there
is no way Manny wins a decision against the defensive, counter
puncher in Floyd. A man that has a safety first style, prefers
to fight for points and get a decision. Manny has been so dominate
in his last fights with the style he has been using, I don't believe that
Roach can implement a whole new strategy to counter and nullify
the strategy Floyd has been using his whole career that has gotten
him this far undefeated. Manny is going to lose on March 13th
and Freddie Roach knows it.

Is this a FACT or a PREDICTION?

Here are some of the limitations:
Internet use is limited in some countries even though their people love boxing and so their opinion is limited on that poll.The use of world therefore becomes invalid in such an arguement.
The majority of middle aged and older boxing fans who actually watched Ali and other fighters dont like using the internet and so they didnt vote.
The system is open to abuse and there is evidence that many people from the Philipines embarked on campaigns to vote for Manny and some voted more than ones therefore the results are invalid.
The panel itself is highly dubious for even considering Oscar DelaHoya a man who hardly won a big fight to be voted for.
The results from such a poll are basically meaningless because they are not representative.The majority of participants are the you tube generation whose knowledge of boxing history is highly questionable.

Dude internet is the most realistic & productive way of conducting POLLS. Plus the fact that there is a jury/committee that shortlisted the candidates. So you can't say that, that particular poll was meaningless. Don't tell me that you are more credible that those jury, are you?
