Roach: Any top WW's must come down to 142 for a shot at Manny!

manny's calling the shots

They all want Manny, so if you want to beat the best, you got to beat them in their best weigth class. Hattons best weight class was 140 and Manny took it. Now Pac is the 140 champ, and it seems thats his best weight. So if they want him they can meet him at 142. Sounds fair enough

but he fought oscar at 147?????lol go ahead and try to get that 7th title roach

That's what I'm talking about. Manny is the man now and he is making people move to him, sorry Floyd no freebies this time- if you want it, you gotta come and get it. He just fought DLH at the weight that DLH wanted because DLH was the biggest money draw at the time and now the times have changed and the torch passed- Manny is the P4P #1 money draw.....the big balla

[Hagler★]

**** that he knows the dangerous ones cant make that comfortably. Cotto, Clottey and Mosley cant get there comfortable.
Mosley maybe the other 2 nope

[S.G.]

damn it's a bit harsh to ask that of Cotto in my opinion

he would be weight drained for sure

Yup, but we all know that Pac was only after Dela Hoya for the Money. He already knew he wasn't the best. Plus if Dela Hoya didn't meet him at a catchweight, but instead decided to let pac jump up 3 weight class instead of 2, it would make him seem more like a coward then he already was for fighting the Pac Man. Too bad though, he though Pac was too small and he got destroyed for it.

Also thats the difference between Pac and some other fighters, Pac will probably go try and go for a 7th title and will actually make that happen while other fighters think its impossible and their fans will laugh at Pac for attempting and incredible goal like that. I just wish all fighters had Pac's mentality so this sport can be as big as it was back in the day with Sugar Ray and Muhammad Ali.

the perfect excuse try and drain mayweather to make his less effective that is proof to my list and why may is on top of him manny is a fraud

1.Paul Williams- hasn't ducked anyone. He was the first to beat Margarito when he was considered a threat. And now people say he doesn't have a big name on his resume'. Aren't all the names he needs hiding behind the money? Has the ability to legitimately face all from 147-160lbs.

2.Juan Manuel Marquez- besides aforementioned, he also doesn't own a duck. A win over Mayweather puts him above Paul.

3.Chad Dawson-he is also a member of the duckless, but also a victim to weak division. But also truely the reason Calzaghe is retired.

4.Vic Darchinyan- after only lost by ko to Donaire, he has made adjustments and become a complete terror for any style he has faced since. Also happens to be calling for Manny Pacqauio. NO DUCKS! PLUS HAS ILL INTENTIONS EVERY TIME STEPS IN RING.

5.Winky Wright- Its hard to throw him too far down on the list after only really being beaten by the guy who's #1. He is tough to beat for everybody in 154-160 except..plus he ducked at a time when he was on top not en route to.

6. Shane Mosley- I don't see a loss since his second bout with Wright. Cotto was a beaten fighter, when the fight that close its about what man has imposed thier will. We saw Cotto fighting backwards for the first time. Needless to say he goes to ko the man who ko'd Cotto. But doesn't want Paul.

7.Bernard Hopkins- He was up there but due to him ducking Wright at 160 but fighting him a year later at 170lbs. He doesnt go beyond Wright on this list. Has done this for all of his so called career defining wins.

8.Floyd Mayweather- The most talented but least tested. He has hand picked particular champions in the weight classes he has traveled through. He doesn't want Winky, Margarito, or Cotto but calls for Mosley but now after things have blown over wants no part of Shane Mosley but rather wants to disadvange JMM and use his P4P ranking as a claim for him to be top dog.

9.Manny Pacquaio- He continues to surprise us all with his power, but has yet to show an ability to win against defensive fighter. The first fight with JMM when despite being down 3 times in the first round he was able to fight to a draw.

10.Miguel Cotto- The next Shane Mosley in terms of going on a streak. He is tough as nails and indeed will continue where he left off with Mosley. So what he lost to the plaster master.

I have a lot of respect for Roach but I think he's a bit delusional if he expects Manny to fight top contenders and make them go down to 142. Some of them might but most will not. Pacquiao is someone who wants to remembered as being one who defeated the best boxers of his era. He has not done that yet.
