You may be laughing but Manfredo said it himself, Roach made the difference. Just imagine he turned a complete bum in Bobby Pacquiao into a semi-contender, that's quite unheard of.
The difference in Peter was evident, he actually moved and dodged punches. He was jabbing and moving, he was putting great combos together, and his footwork was actually impressive. Peter was different on monday, much different.
It is amazing to me how so called "boxing fans" so freely call pro fighters BUMS. Guys that do what you could only dream of doing. You watch them, they dont watch YOU. And when it is over for them you call them BUMS. You must be very proud of yourself (and so brave, too. Boxing fans like you are the reason most professionals HATE coming to these message boards 9and rarely do).
Don't sweat it, Scully. Real men don't use the word "bum", and the majority of the posters are kids and teenagers anyways. Don't take these kids seriously.

I respect all pro boxers, and you have all the reason to be upset about some of these kids, that claim to be "boxing fans", that say Scotty is a bum, or Duran was a bum, JCC was a bum, etc etc. It is evident who is and who is not a true boxing fan.
Pemberton wasn't a World Champion, and he certaintly wasn't a bum. He was a good fighter who would get in there with the best of em, and give us wars for espn money, at best. He's probably at the twillight of his career right now. No need to disrespect the man.

I second that, people will call anybody a bum nowdays.
Pathetic.
