If he's serious about this, I think roach is right. The DLH fight fooled cats into thinkin Pac can beat the top WW's, and I don't see it. they all KO him, but Mr boat buyer wouldn't thrash Pac as bad as Cotto or SSM.
I agree, Floyd with his style would be by far the least dangerous fight for Pac. With Pac speed and workrate, he could overwhelm Floyd and take an UD. Against Mosley or Cotto I don't think Pac would have a chance.

I don't get how Roach, with all his boxing knowledge, can't realise that Manny and Floyd are different types of fighters and fought Oscar and Ricky under completely different circumstances.
Floyd beat Oscar at 154 when he had a title at that weight and was younger and healthier. Manny beat Oscar in spectacular fashion simply because Oscar had nothing to give at 147 due to his dehydrated and shot state and the fact Manny was comfortable at the weight and in his prime.
Floyd beat Ricky when he was undefeated and it could be argued that Hatton wasn't the same after that defeat. Manny was impressive KO'ing him in 2 rounds, but again this is down to the different styles of the two and the fact Ricky's punch resistance seems to have deserted him.
Manny and Floyd are both great fighters, but comparing their victories over the same fighters just isn't as simple as, "Oh Manny did it quicker and in a better fashion, so that means he's better than Floyd".
