Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Raises His Level in Sparring, Team is Pleased

[aboutfkntime]

Team Pac should have mentioned leg cramps as reason for an above par performance on all those occassions in stead.

My wife always believes me when I tell her that ^^

[GRUSTLER]

u honestly think that?

haha this isn't Ruben Guerrero we are talking about.... this is Freddie mutha-uckin Roach.

The same Freddie Roach who couldn't get Pacquiao convincingly passed Marquez in a span of 12 years and 3 weight classes. Roach is a handicapper who looks for kinks in the armor then exploits them. He said in the 3rd and 4th Marquez fights that Pacquiao would win by KO. After Pacquiao goes on record and says after the 3rd Marquez fight "We underestimated Marquez". What world class trainer underestimates his fighter toughest foe? Roach just thought Marquez was there to be got after how he looked against Mayweather at 144. Roach does his thing and can't take that away from him but dude ain't no coaching genius when he can't even get Manny to avoid right hands throughout his whole career.

And exactly what kinks did he tried to exploit...Please say Dela Hoya and Cotto.. Oh man, I am dying for you to say those 2 names..How about Margarito and Mosley..hmmm....

A sore leg with less than 4 weeks to go is a terrible news. If Roach had to push Pac to spar 10 rounds and tell him to ignore the pain then things I'm afraid are not going well. He is going to need very fast legs to beat Floyd. What he actually needs right now is rest from the sounds of this.

True. He does wait until they're done. He alluded to that saying "Boxing is about getting the right fight, at the right time". ( Paraphrase from his quote )

Morales was done ( beaten by Raheem ),

De La Hoya ( drained, over-the-hill ),

Hatton ( Roach said Floyd took something out of him ),

Mosely, ( over-the-hill, washed up )

Cotto ( ruined by Margarito )

Margarito ( destroyed by over-the-hill Mosely )

Add Floyd, worst 2 consecutive performances of his career and looking slower and more sluggish than ever.

Then by logic what Coach Roach says about Floyd's legs as shot is also true. Floyd can't run no more.

I think all of those were obvious but Floyd legs seem to still work.

Maybe, but not according to Coach. We'll find out on May 2 if Coach Roach is wrong assessing Floyd's legs or his observations spot-on as with the condition of the 6 opponents previously posted.
