Mayweather doesn't have skills to hurt Pacquiao-Roach

[madsweeney]

I'd like to see Roach explain why when Mayweather fought Oscar, it was a WW fighting a MW, yet when Pac fought Oscar, Pac was the bigger man. Could DLH have possibly been weight drained? Was DLH a champion going into the Pac fight? Did the DLH-Pac fight sell anywhere near the PPVs that Mayweather-DLH did?

Mayweather >>> PacQuack

What does PPV buys have to do about PBF struggling? Maybe the buys were affected by the vast majority of people thinking it was a joke that pac was moving up to 147 to fight DLH. Oh yea thats right, nobody was suggesting DLH was going to be weight drained before the fight, they were saying he had an unfair advantage, even at 147!!!

If it's true what Freddie is saying... then he's gonna have Manny start off like a rocket against Floyd and hope that Manny doesn't get caught after a brief flurry.

But, nobody is asking the real question:

At what weight will he want Manny to take this fight?

Catch-weight again? - or -

At an official division weight?

That's the main question they should ask him.

We all know about the money side.

I'm pretty sure I've read that Roach will take PBF as high as he wants, he'd love for PBF to be heavy because he fights better when he's lighter. They see PBF fighting at 147 as an advantage for them.

I would seriously hope they could agree on a fair weight.

Floyd's been at 154 and fought well.

Don't know how high Manny can go without compromising his own skills.

If it happens I wouldn't be surprised if it was at 147. Both men are about the same size now and PBF isn't a powerhouse so his weight isn't that big of an issue. 147 and they'll both weigh in 144-146 and be 148-150 fight night

That would be ideal if they can make it happen.

I think it's a relatively even fight, but to say Mayweather doesn't have the skills to hurt Pacquiao is ******.
