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

[jri9d0]

I think Roach is just looking for more dehydrated versions of DLH’s for Pac to capitalize on. For either Cotto or Mosley to give in to those demands would be ****** on their part. Like another poster said welters should fight welters.

cotto.. please don't do this. it was trouble enough to make 140 earlier in your career... doing it right now vs the p4p champ won't do anything good for your record.

This is ******. WW's should fight WW's. Period.

Manny Pacquiao could be a welterweight.

[pigdestroyer]

not discrediting pac's most recent wins, but it seems the only bigger guys they're willing to fight are guys who would (eventually) be weight drained to fight them and that seems like it's their only chance to win. roach said himself, de la hoya's fight with him at 147 only made him terrible, and roach knew that. -_- so bringing all of these higher class (in terms of weight) fighters down in weight isn't really proving anything other then pac can **** on a weight drained fighter. i truely hope mosley and cotto aren't ****** enough to attempt 140 again.

I don't believe that for a second. He's just setting the bar low, it's just basic negotiation. He knows neither one of those will happen.

Thats probably true come to think of it.

**** it tho im sick of all these catch weight fights, Move up or Dont - who gives a ****

Pac brings money and excitement but the WW's dont need em, theres enough talent and names there for them all to get paid well and have good fights

Cotto/Mosley will be FOOLS to go below 145

Manny Pacquiao could be a welterweight.

c'mon..he wouldn't make himself be a welterweight.
of cause he was fighting in WW against de la hoya
but that match is liked a circus

Couldn't say it better myself. I hope both of these good fighters don't make this happen.

cotto and mosley should be fighting each other instead of picking on lil dudes like pac

See this is what pisses me off with Roach and Arum. They constantly make claims that Pac is a natural 140 lber now and that it would kill him to go any lower than 140, but it's okay for everyone else to move down for Pac. Also, the jump up from JWW to WW is not that big, many "natural" JWW have made the jump, and if Pac truly is this ATG that Roach and Arum believe him to be, then he should move up and fight these guys at their weights or just fight the best at 140...

[Pugilistic™]

I highly doubt either fighter will go that low.
