Roach: "Pac will fight Mosley @ 142, Cotto @ 140"

[SuckaPunch]

Roach said that though a “Mosley fight is probably the most exciting because they both like to fight,” it's all about making the fight on even terms.

“I have to protect my fighter,” said Roach, who administered the terms for Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya last year. “I spoke to Shane and told him that we would fight him at 142. He said he can’t make that weight.”

Mosley asked why not 147, as Manny/Oscar was set at 147? Roach said that Mosley is not De La Hoya in terms of setting a weight handicap.

...

The fight Roach likes is Many/Mosley, if the Pomona fighter can make the weight. The world can only wait to see what transpires. Another match that could have consequences also takes place in June when Miguel Cotto and Joshua Clottey fight. If the Puerto Rican slugger wins, he would be asked to drop to 140 to fight Pacquiao.

i think mosley might be more desperate for a fight than cotto, but cotto is with arum so that fight has a better possibility of happening.

personally, I think cotto and mosley should forget about pac and fight each other.

[Super Greg]

That is outrageous to expect Mosley to come in at 142 and Cotto to come in a 140.

145 for both

[Sox8055]

I would have to say Cotto. Unlike Mosley, he's been at the weight in his career and he probably thinks that he can still make it. I would be disappointed if one of these fighters come down on weight below 145, that is just pushing it. Manny would pick them apart.

Soon Roach will challenge Wlad for Pac at a catch-weight of 144.
