Comments Thread For: Roach Fires Shots at Virgil Hunter For Demanding Golovkin-Canelo!

[skinnystev]

what freddie roach dont seem to realize is the more voices call for the fight the more likely the fight will take place it's what we all want right ? i myself think the only way the timid mexican will get in the ring with golovkin is at the point of a gun he just don't want to take that kind of beating and KO loss

The funny part is all the sheep who bought and repeat the anti-GGG, pro Ward propaganda are now tripping over themselves because Virgil propped up GGG. Now they're being instructed to hate Canelo. Baaaaaa.

Freddie insults Virgil for not minding his own business by not minding his own business...

Uh oh now I'm doing it... Who's next

Freddie talks out of his ass all the time, he is probably seeking attention considering his ride on Pacquaios coat-tail is coming to an end. We've suffered through over a decade of his out of place, hypocritical comments.....Hunter basically said what fans been arguing on this site for months have been saying

[Dean_Razorback]

yeah, that was very odd. like max asked him, why is he so interested in canelo fighting GGG? they have nothing to do with that fight.

When did Roach say Khan was up 5 to 0? How anyone could give Khan the 5th round just shows how dumb people are. Face it your boy got iced. And it wasn't any kind of clever punch, faint, or nice combination. It was a simple lead right hand that any good boxer should of seen coming.

I'm going to disagree to an extent here. Canelo disguised his right hand perfectly by faking with a jab first and pulling it back. By doing so Amir tried reacting and countering the jab with a left hook of his own but canelos huge right hand was there instead. Pretty clever actually but it was a matter of time until he landed cleanly on Khan and got him out of there anyway.
I really don't have a dog in the fight, just observing

Actually Hunter said the same thing the day before the fight...

[MC Hammer]

So Roach had Khan up 5-0?

Interesting

Thats another world class trainer who gave Khan 4 rounds or more

Floyd Sr
Atlas
Roach
Garcia


But i guess boxingscene arm chair experts like Larry know better

None of that matters because how did it end?

Khan still should of seen it coming. But the truth is Khan was already starting to fade.

Are you saying that Khan won the first 5 rounds so convincingly by dominating Alvarez, that there's no way anybody could score them differently?
That would mean scores like 3-2 Khan or 3-2 Alvarez were just robbery.
2 out of 3 judges had it close. Letterman had it 3-2 Alvarez.
Boxing judging will always be controversial especially when it goes against your guy.

Virgil knew that Canelo was fighting a smaller guy at a catch weight Canelo demanded and that it was a pretty cowardly thing to do on Canelos part.

Why not fight GGG why pick Khan. Just because he is Khans trainer dont mean shlt. He is a fan and a human just like all of us. All they could do was try to win. Thats what they are supposed to do. And they tried.

But come on...Dont call your self a middleweight champ by fighting or beating LWW and WW moving up to CWs that benefit you.

Canelo is on some Mayweather cowardly shlt here. Virgil was right...His timing was off thats all. He should have waited until after the fight was over for a few weeks before making that comment though.
