Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Can't Let Mosley Escape Like Margarito

[noekin3]

you know what, we didint hear nothing, because loss to an american black boxer(BTW mosley is one boxer that i admire, but thats is not the point), only when pacquiao win there are excuses.........drain, 2 pound less, etc, etc, etc...........

You are completely right! And he needed that stoppage because he was gonna lose that fight if it went to decision. And that was some highlight reel KO as well...

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong.... Mosely was ahead on the cards (Judge Nelson Vasquez had Mosley winning 105-104, judge Tony Crebs had Mosley up 107-102, while Pat Russell favored Mayorga with a 105-104 mark.) Not to mention that Mosley scored a knockdown making it a 10 - 8 round prior to the knouckout putting him ahead on all three cards. But, I like your version better its more dramatic.

Manny showing compassion against Margarito was alright, but if he pulls his punches again, I might have to strangle him.

richardson will throw in the towel around the 8-10th round

what an idiotl!!! Pacquiao was never going to knock Margarito out! everyone except Roach expected a competitive fight because of Margarito's ability to take a punch, reach advantage and the obvious....... size! Also Margarito caught Pacquiao with a great body shot that seem to stop Pacquiao from pursuing the knockout attempt because after that round Pacquiao just tried to out box Margarito and not stand and trade! With that said I believe Pacquiao will knock out Mosley in the second round, because I just don't think Mosley can handle Pacquiao's movement, power, and let alone speed! This is an easy fight for Pacquiao!

I'll admit I thought Tony was going to walk through Pacs best & we would have one hell of a fight but...

Marg was almost ready to go in round 10! so your saying that even if Pac had pressed more in rounds 11 & 12 the ref wouldn't have stopped that ****.

Granted it was Laurence Cole.

here is what is really interesting, this is a peak inside of Roach's thinking. He thinks Mosley is too old, too shot, he thinks Mosley is a much smaller and safer opponent than say Margarito due to Cheato's size advantages and durability, he thinks that Pac should go for the KO. But I dont think any of that is true. Mosley is definitely not the fighter he was say when he fought DLH twice(can you imagine that Mosley vs Pac) but he is about twice the fighter Margarito was the night he faced Pacman. Mosely is a very strong and resilient dude and has a combination of advantages I think Pac has not seen yet:

Size, strength, speed, Good power upstairs and down and a corner that will bring him in with a good gameplan.

If Roach and Manny go in looking to do anything else than move alot early and come on late they may get a serious ass kicking.

Again Manny is a tremendous fighter no doubt but he has to utulize his main weapon speed, he tries to seek and destroy I thin it could be a short night.

you are a 100% right had Pac put his foot down he would have either KO'd Tony or forced a stoppage/death in the ring. Margarito took a horrible beating from Manny, worst I have seen yet.
