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

[lcheezy]

easy work and a huge payday for floyd the real p4p king money mayweather.

Is this a FACT or a PREDICTION?

Just my opinion, doesn't have to be fact or prediction. I do believe
Floyd has the style to beat Manny. Since size and power can't do
it then defense is the best offense against a fighter like Pacquiao.

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?

Would you have included Oscar DelaHoya in that list and why or why not?

Internet polls only represent certain populations.In Africa a very small percentage of people use the net (6.8%) and they are mostly of a certain age.Latin Americans are crazy about boxing but only 30% use the internet.That creates a bias.Middle aged people all over have no time to vote on boxing issues on the internet but these are the people who know more about Ali and the older folk.What is especially worrying about that poll is there is egregious evidence of flagrant violations of the single vote rule by Philipinos.

It will be a decision win either way. Nobody's getting KO'd.

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.

Of course, Floyd is a different beast so Pac team needs to devise plans how to catch a running chicken and how to force open a tight shell to extract the content. The fact, figting a runner is harder than one who is more than willing to trades leathers. Unlike those gayweather's nuthuggers who believes Pac is an easy fight for May Jr, they will be stunned and embarrased comes 13 March 2010 if May Jr. continue believing that pac is an easy fight for him.

If you are looking in this perspective alone and not at the same time the other way around, then you're the most idiotic moron ever, more than those you called idiots!!!

Reality is sinking in bit by bit.He started by talking about a first round knockout,now it's a tough fight,then Manny winning by decision.Basically Roach is saying Manny will get ****ed.
In business we call this 'managing expectations'

I'm sure he just want to tame Floyd Jr. to sign into contract.. that's it!

Floyd is a chicken?? Have you ever seen an Ali, Whitaker, Sugar Ray Leonard fight? Are they chickens too? Have you watched Leonard vs Hearns I? Of course not, you just started watching boxing with Pac. For the first 6 rounds Leonard did nothing but "run like a chicken" and jab to the stomach? I guess he's just like Gayweather and would get Knocked out by Pak-Yao in round 1.

Educate yourself fool.

1. There is a jury or committee that shortlisted the candidates and I respect their position on including ODLH.

2. Dude, this is not about Filipinos, this about INTERNET POLLS. It doesn't matter who is leading the internet polls. The point is Internet polls is the more effective and fastest way of conducting polls compare to traditional one-on-one interview or by voting.

If ever the this internet poll was resulted in manner that is favored on your preferences, I would doubt that you are going to criticize or discredit it.

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

Yes, a lot of Pinoy boxing fans are new to the sport and make idiotic statements. They're incapable of using their own brain to come up with their own analysis. Everything they say is a quote from Roach or some other boxing site in favor or pac.

You have to start somewhere and it's great to support a countryman. However, you should also seek to educate yourself about the sport and it's history and not dismiss the accomplishments of other great fighters.
