      they'll probably have a gentleman's agreement were even though they can weigh at 147 they won't pass a certain number.

      that way it'll be still for the 147 belt but at the same time manny gets a concession that shane or cotto will weigh under 145.
      Mosley reportedly offered to fight Pacquiao at 147 immediately after the his KO of Hatton but Roach made it clear that Pacquiao is going to make the rules.

      “You know what, we fight at 140,” Roach said. “These guys are going to have to meet us in the middle somewhere (143? 144?). Everyone wants to fight Manny Pacquiao now. He’ll make you money.”

      It might be difficult for the bigger men to get that done. Mayweather hasn’t fought below welterweight since he knocked out Arturo Gatti at 140 in 2005. Mosley last dipped below that mark when he stopped John Brown way back in 1999.

      Still, the opportunity to face the hottest fighter in the world for very big money could be enough of an incentive for Mayweather and Mosley to come down in weight.

      However, Roach wonders whether Mayweather would have the courage to fight his man. He also threw out Miguel Cotto as another possible opponent.
      “If Cotto wants to come down a few pounds, we can make that happen. If Shane Mosley wants to come down a few pounds, we can make that happen.”

            Manny is a big guy now so he can take the best shots at 147
            Manny will fight PBF just because thats the money fight...and the fight that gets peoples heart racing...If May can get passed HOF JMM

            If for some reason this fight doesnt get made(which won't happen) then Cotto vs Pac if Cotto can get passed The Hitter.

            And if this fight doesnt get made...then maybe Sugar gets a shot...The guy has been waiting and passing up on good fighters for a shot at May or Pac and even priced himself out or played the location game out of a Cotto rematch...

            Which is insane being as though...Cotto already holds a UD over Shane.

            Shane thinks people are going to bend to his will because he beat a plasterless Margarito...plz

              Mosley and Cotto have nothing to prove by going down in weight..If Pac is feeling hardbody like that let him come to 147. He should be moving up, not sitting around waiting for people to come to him..

                  pac belongs at 140..if shane n cotto wants him they have to come down.
                  i doubt pacman even cares about their titles..
                  and people wouldnt blame pac if he wont go up to 147 to fight them..


                  the only person who can make 140 is floyd
                  if u ask me..i rather just see floyd vs mosley at 147
                  but knowing mosely he's a humble man..

                    Pac seems to be just as dangerous at 147. Thats the weight he should fight at. Then when "if" he beats them, he beats them at a weight where there will be no controversy about cotto or Mosley being weight drained.
