- LOS ANGELES: Freddie Roach is not a man given to hyperbole.
- When Manny Pacquiao’s trainer says the pound-for-pound champion is having his best training camp, Sugar Shane Mosley had better pay attention.
Pacquiao is in the final stages of preparation in Hollywood for his bout with Mosley at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas on May 7, and the Filipino congressman hasn’t been so singularly focused on boxing for quite a while.
After fretting about Pacquiao’s focus and fitness throughout a rocky camp heading into last fall’s win over Antonio Margarito, Roach has been impressed by his eight-division champion’s determination to knock out Mosley, who has never been stopped.
Pacquiao doesn’t acknowledge any special focus, but says he feels ready.
