Comments Thread For: Roach: Thurman 'Terrible' In Last Fight; Will Run From Pacquiao

[thedarkdragon11]

Thurman won't feel GrandPac's punches... He took DSG and Porter punches and didn't get hurt...

And that challenger still won 10 of 12 rounds yet didn’t get the decision.

Because that Challenger did not TAKE the belt. Wilder only needed to win 3 other rounds out on 10 after the 2 knockdowns. Tyson was running and slapping, is it that hard to believe Wilder won an additional 3rounds? Not according to the professional judges. Get over it...

We know the Hatton and dlh Pac fought were better than the ones Floyd fought. I mean if you aren't going to learn anything from having fought Floyd then your in wrong sport. So nelos not better now? Dlh said Pac was the best he fought. Dlh obviously would like to make excuses he wasn't 100% as Pac made him look bad and believe it or not dlh does care about his own legacy and doesn't want people to think Pac could do that to him in prime. Which is understandable. But that doesnt then mean you should then go into discredit Pac s win. Dlh thought he'd beat pac up until Pac landed first punch. So you going to discredit Floyd s win over pac, as Pac claimed he had bad shoulder?
But Hatton was never going to get far with Pac as he leads with face. But Floyd wouldn't ever ko any version of Hatton in 2 rounds. Even if Hatton hadn't trained for 2 years and came in ring 13 stone against floyd, Floyd would still take longer than 6 rounds even with ref help.
As for cotto everyone knows he wasn't going to be the same again after Pac fight.

Omfg you are an idiot. If you think DLH was a better fighter in his severely drained state vs Pac 1.5 yrs after he lost to Floyd you are beyond dumb.
Roach even said DLH looked like a ghost the day before the fight, couldn't run one lap in the gym without stopping. He didn't even protest the illegal IV's because he knew it wouldn't matter.
Valero beat the piss out of DLH in sparring. ( a guy Pac ducked imo)
Go away fool.

why did roach want garcia instead of thurman because roach does not want a real welterweight broner was not a real welterweight

Got news for you.
Roach DOES NOT PICK Pac's opponents these days.
HAYMON does.

Manny and Roach have way more say in opponents than you believe, Manny plays the dumb role allowing promoters to be the scapegoat when it comes to who he fights, which is what promoters are supposed to be the fall guy with ducking, its been said by Arum and Roach that Manny fights who he wants to fight.

Roach was not even with Pac against Mathysse.
Then only got a late call for the Broner fight.
Roach had nothing to do with the Thurman pick.
Haymon has a 3-fight contract on Pac and is keeping his fights in house .

Nope you're wrong
Pac was never an easy fight guy
Thurman has a belt
Pac wants it..period

No mate if you think that your green as baby
