The more I hear Freddie say ridiculous things like this, the more I think that Pacquiao is unfortunately going to lose. It just sounds more and more like desperation. Perhaps he is worried about Manny and saying this stuff to get him mentally right. I don't know what the deal is.
No, he knows exactly what he's doing. He's talking ****. He's downplaying Bradley's skill. He knows 100% he doesn't believe that nonsense, he's saying it just to belittle Bradley. He'd make a polygraph do a back flip if he said he meant that comment, he doesn't.
Roach says this kind of thing all the time. Don't read too much into it.
I will remind you that there was a lot of furor over Roach comparing Bradley to Provodnikov in the lead up to the first fight. Turned out Provodnikov was a worthier opponent for Tim than any of us thought.
