The famous self help guru Napoleon Hill said, "Whatever your mind believes, it will become!"
Earl Nightingale said, "You become what you think about!"
In psychology, they call it a "self-fulfilling prophecy" or the "placebo effect". Where, through the power of suggestion and affirmation, a person begins to believe something that isn't true and sure enough it becomes true. Advertisers, cult leaders and other influencers have used this to control people in the past. In fact, people have been cured of hopeless illnesses based on affirmation and of taking placebo pills which they thought were potent but were in fact just made of sugar. But they believed that they were real medicines and they wound up getting healed not by the fake medicine but by their belief that those medicines were real and powerful.
Enter Freddie Roach. He tells Hatton, Cotto, De La Hoya, and others, that they are no longer threats and they believe it, at least at the subconscious level. As a result, they break down psychologically and what Roach tells them is true becomes true.
Of course, Roach really knows that they are indeed threats. But like a doctor giving his patients placebos, he tells them they aren't and they believe it. Once this happens, what Roach tells them becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Roach has been accused by morons of flip flopping. Nothing can be further from the truth. The fact was Roach knew that Hatton, Cotto, De La Hoya, and now Margarito were/are major threats. But he tells them - BEFORE THE FIGHT - that they're not and they believe the lie. In fact, Roach's brainwashing of them gives them an excuse to lose even before they fight Pacquiao.
No, Roach is not a flip flopper as the moronic *****s would have you believe. He is merely a great psychological strategist that appreciates and wields the power of suggestion to convince in prime fighters that they are no longer in their primes, that "they don't have it anymore".
Which brings us to that woman beater Floyd Mayweather. This son of a criminal drug dealer felon ex-convict is still in his prime. But by the time he enters the ring against Pacquiao, he will be convinced of Roach's brainwash attack "Mayweather no longer has legs" and believe in it so that it will actually influence his thinking. And that's when he will lose. Roach will be called a flip flopper by all of the supporters of the woman beater, but Roach knows he is simply using psychological warfare.
