Roach is sounding desperate....one day he says he thought Marg was a good honest dude...NOW he's this that and the third...yea, Marg might've used the **** in training because he dam sure was gonna use it on Shane and most likely he had ALREADY used it on Cotto....so yea, this might be true...but coming from Roach?!? ...the SAME Roach who said he thought Marg was tellin' the truth about the wraps?!?....come on now!!

This doesn't make Roach a hypocrite....

It means he changed his mind or felt he made a mistake.

People CAN change their minds about others....

Oscar changed his mind about Mayweather.

Millions of fans changed their minds about Ricky Hatton.

What's wrong with Roach changing his mind about Margarito?

this is getting crazy. & people want to CRY when marg tells pac that he's on riods? if roach keeps bringing up margs "bricks" as he claims. marg will bring up pacs random drug testing refusal.

I'm not sure why Roach and Pac want to bring up how Margarito attempted to cheat against Shane...Pac keeps saying Tony deserves another chance,nobody is perfect,etc-but then at the same time speculate that he was using illegal wraps in prior fights....

It seems that there are bleeding hearts when speculation is thrown towards Manny and his team by Floyd,but isn't Roach and Manny doing the same thing-speculating?

Tony is going to be in this fight 100% I believe (I didn't think he was before,but I am starting to believe it now),and Manny better stop being lazy in training.Roach should either have let go of all speculation or not have let his fighter go in against who they believe has cheated in the ring more than once.

I think Tony is going to do better than most people think and when they check his gloves this time,they won't have excuses to fall on.As it stands,they are already concerned about Pac's weight and don't want him to be at 151 because they feel he is too sluggish....

Stylistically,this is in Pac's favour,but Tony seems pretty damn hungry for his recognition.In fact,I am not sure when the last time Manny has fought anyone this eager for a while...I wouldn't be surprised if we see an upset (If Margarito of a few years ago shows up).

Sounds interesting , I never looked at plasterito as a big puncher until after the cintron and cotto fights
Well ... go figure , plaster of paris will def. Do the trick

He doesn't have 1 punch knockout power and isn't heavy handed as evidenced in the willimas fight

That's when he started testing the luis resto recipe

Attempting to load your wraps and getting caught red handed is the same as a crack family making baseless accusations against a fighter without a shred of evidence HOW?
