    Prime Roach was extremely underrated

    Prime Roach was a different kind of beast. A past-prime Pacquiao would never be able to knock down that version of Roach, not even the current Roach, so when Pacquiao, past his prime, finally managed to do the impossible and knock Roach down, then it was interpreted as a sign that Pacquiao was back to his prime.

    Macau, China - According to trainer Freddie Roach, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao showed absolutely no mercy in training camp. Roach has been trying to bring out the "old Pacquiao" - who was very aggressive in the ring and knocked out his opponents. Pacquiao has not scored a stoppage victory since 2009, when he got a TKO win over Miguel Cotto in the twelfth round of their contest.


    If even Pacquiao had to revert to his old ways to knock down even a shot Freddie Roach, then imagine how tough the prime Roach must have been.
