Comments Thread For: Atlas Rips Pacquiao, Roach For Boasts, Fight Approach

Atlas could have changed boxing history

When Atlas had that gun to Mike Tyson�s head after Tyson assaulted Teddy�s little sister think how much better the world would have been with Tyson blown away? Teddy has balls that clank. Of course Teddy got fired from Cus's camp.

Well put!

I don't think people realise how humiliating that defeat was for Pacquiao. In the end it became clear that he hates Mayweather far more than Mayweather hated him; just look at the way he looked when Mayweather embraced him at the end of the fight.

Now picture how much Pacquiao hates Mayweather, imagine how it would have felt to be so thoroughly dominated by him. Even when he was knocked out cold, he was in a fight. He's always been competitive but this time it was a complete wash out and his family had a front row ticket to witness it.

He went into the fight ****y and sure of himself. He left the fight a broken and humiliated man. It's natural that he'd experience grief after that soul crushing defeat which ultimately lead him to the first stage, denial. All this "My shoulder hurt" and "If I was 100%, I would have won," are lies he needs to tell himself.

Few months down line, he'll be angry at his camp. Wouldn't be surprised if we saw some changes. Arum is there to stay but Koncz could get kicked to the side, maybe even Buboy. It'll be, "Why did you sign me in this fight," "why did you distract me," "Why didn't you read the terms."

Then it will be bargaining. You'll start reading interviews like "Even though I lost to Floyd Mayweather, I'm still the second best fighter of this generation."

Depression will set in and he might go the way of Hatton, and De La Hoya.

Finally acceptance. It'll be the stage where he and Floyd can sit down with one another, laugh about the ups and downs of their careers, and praise one another.

Get well soon fighting pride of the Philippines.

This was well put!

Come on Atlas, Floyd Sr too made a fantastic boasting that his son gonna KO Pacman! but, see, Floyd jr, knew that Pacman got injured, and yet he still can't finish him off, he hit below the belt, elbowed and hold and hit and RUN!

Its simple.

Roach's trash talking was at an all time high

You dont talk THAT much crap, and make the kind of predictions that he did if you are going to plan on using excuses after the fight and pointing blame

Thats the point

yes, good point!

Atlas hating on PAC...shocker

I think what he said is fair!! Fair is fair no matter the source. Saying he has looked phenomenal in camp and will KO Floyd etc whilst knowing (assuming it's true) that he had a bad shoulder is disgraceful on their part.
