catchweights can be a title fight.This catch weight stuff is out of hand... These aren't even championship bouts! If Roach doesn't want to make welterweight fights with the biggest names in the welterweight division, he can have a field day with the Nate Campbells and Timothy Bradleys of the world. Mosley, Cotto, and to some extent even Mayweather can't and shouldn't get below 147. Manny fought at that weight before and excelled, but all of a sudden it's too much to ask? Fine, everybody should realize that they are in different weight classes and move on.
welterweight is 141-147.
either way cotto and shane can't make 140 and 142.
if this fight happens it'll be 143-144 for cotto or 145 for mosley.
roach is just asking for the lowest he can get.
plus this might just be negotiation tactics for the upcoming mayweather-pacquiao fight.Comment

And the result of that is , Cotto and Mosley would be dehydrated by 12pounds ,, look Cotto and Mosley are bigger a lot bigger there is no even fight no matter how you carve it up .Comment

Pavlik wouldn't be a big fight for either fighter. I believe both Cotto and Mosley would kill Pavlik too.
If this isn't a feasible fight, maybe Pacquiao's own camp should drop the subject.
It's pretty obvious that neither Cotto or Mosley can make 142/140Comment

You sure it works like that?catchweights can be a title fight.
welterweight is 141-147.
either way cotto and shane can't make 140 and 142.
if this fight happens it'll be 143-144 for cotto or 145 for mosley.
roach is just asking for the lowest he can get.

I thought they have two different divisions for "WW": "JrWW" and "WW" or 140 pounds and 147 pounds?
Never heard of a catchweight title.
Cotto has the belt at WW/147 pounds. That's also where he is healthy.
Team Pacquiao's intention is to purposefully have these fighters unhealthy for the fight.Comment

exactly, if mosley and cotto can't fight pac at 140 lbs, they should keep pac's name out of their mouths.Roach couldnt do Cotto at 140, he would have to go to 140.01 so that Cotto's WW title was on the line. Then Pac could be called a 7 division champ, right?? lol
When does this nonsense with Roach end? Maybe he can start putting in the contract that the opponent cant throw more than 20 jabs a round, or that they cant throw the left hook. lol
Bottom line is this: If you are not willing to fight someone in their natural division, then keep their name out of your mouth.Comment
