It really makes Manny look bad. Manny will fight anybody, if it was up to him, guaranteed. But too many times, he has listened to Roach and Arum instead.
Roach hoping for Pacquiao-Floyd Jr.
Trainer says Mayweather 'easiest' opponent

LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
If it were up to Freddie Roach, Manny Pacquiao's next fight would be against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in December in Las Vegas.
Speaking from New York, where he received the Trainer of the Year award Friday from the Boxing Writers Association of America, the man who trains Pacquiao said Mayweather is the best opponent for his fighter.
"We want Mayweather because he's the easiest fighter of the three," Roach said, alluding to Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley, the other fighters most often in the Pacquiao equation. "Style-wise, Shane might give Manny the most trouble. But Mayweather's not a big guy. He's not a big puncher.
"Cotto doesn't want to come down (from 147 pounds). I'll fight one guy at 147 -- Floyd."
He'll let Pac fight Floyd at 147 but not Shane or Cotto. WTF!!!!!!
Also like the fact that Roach said "I'll" instead of "we'll" fight....
