We should pay attention to reports out of training camps.

Not always I know, cause Pacquiao had problems in his Cotto camp and he won relatively easily. But, remember the rumours that Valero was battering Hoya in sparring, or that Erislandy Lara was battering Hatton? Then look what happened. I saw in a recent interview with Hatton where he confirmed he was getting beaten up in sparring, that should be a sign to him that he is losing it.

What do you guys think? Although it's hard always to go on rumours.

It can be a part of reasoning but unless you really get to see the camp closely it is always dicey to use that as strong justification. Now when the camp reports/rumors fit into a larger puzzle they hold more water but it is fairly tough to see that whole puzzle before a fight actually takes place.

pac didnt have an easy fight with cotto mate. his eardrum got busted and that only proves that he had a tough fight against miguel

i suggest that you dont believe all the rumors coming from training. rumors can actually be used as an excuse or make a fighter look good when he wins. we never know
