    Trash talking is not the only way to get into someone's head.

    And Roach says alot of ****. you can't quote him as the gospel. He said Floyd would be an easier fight than Cotto back in the day
    Clottey pulled a ***** move. He was punching Pac clean. He didn't want to get knocked out and that fight was lost months before he walked in the ring. If he wasn't scared he would have gave Pac Man some serious problems.

      Who else has beaten Clottey and Hatton like Pacquiao beat them? He shut Clottey out and knocked Hatton out in 2 rounds, no one has ever come close to that. In my eyes that is impressive.

      yes roach said it....i cant believe how much people sleep on mosley's boxing skill....it's like you guys punish him because he can **** as well...me personally, i like versatility in a boxer.

          I see it differently,after the floyd loss hatton became a part time alcoholic and a full time eater,the hatton we've seen against tszyu was the hatton who fought floyd and failed big time...clottey wasn't hard to shut out he didn't wanna fight but every time he did he had pacquiao's head bouncing back..everytime he threw he connected and that was one of the reasons why i said that pacquiaos head movements don't come close to mosleys head movements and other overall skills.

            that's a lame ass excuse. Pac beat Clottey like a sparring partner and he would dominate him 10 times out of 10.

              IMHO Mosley and May will do what has never been done to pac...And that impose their physical advantage.they will clinch and move him back can Manny fight going back?I like manny but if you notice he never fights fighters who will do this all the fighters he beat none like to clinch and that's a tatic that will hurt Pac.With shane even more Which is why Roach wanted nothing to do with that fight.

                Roach is a very smart man. He knows who's a threat to Pac and that's why Pac fight's certain people and he doesn't fight certain people. Hatton's defense is has and always will be horrible. And a tazmanian devil on offense up against an open buffet on Hattons chin... he gets respect but it wasnt impressive. Clottey is a defensive fighter who doesn't throw outside the turtle shell. He couldn't win that fight if he wanted to..period. Pac is a beast. Roach IMO is what u guys would call a cherry picker. I think the only reason he feels he could beat floyd is because he could steal a decision with activity. That's it.

                  Isn't that a credit to Pac that he makes Clottey not wanna fight? I can't believe you guys are using that excuse to discredit this win.

                  Again, no one has done what Pac did to Clottey. Doesn't that tell you something?
