Now I'm Certain Pac is Doomed. Words From Roach's Mouth...

[SugarSugar]

Mosely needs to fight Berto.. this is why.. he would Unify the titles.. that would be his leverage to get a big money fight with either May or Cotto.. He's gonna have the titles.. Both are gonna be gunning to get them back.. Mosely will get his in the end.. i garuntee it

Question is will Berto be fed to Mosley? Promoters aint ******, they know if they put Berto in with Shane while its a good money making fight for him, he's likely to lose. I think Clottey is more likely and that fight will be 200% harder for Shane than Berto.

well at least cotto fans can use the 'he overtrained' excuse

And that my friend is where Mosely will **** up at... he can fight clottey which he might win but wont look good doin it.. nobody looks good doin it.. Clottey is a beast contrary to popular belief... He will get nothing out of fighting Clottey.. He has to give up a little bit more money to get the fight with Berto but in the long run he will have all the Quality belts, and the road to Welterweight champ will be through him so they dont have a choice but to give him his due payday..

I hope there's no excuses but with all these ****ty catchweights these days and fighters bouncing around the weightclasses there's always something for the fans to pick up on to cover up a loss.

May I also add, Freddie Roach lost his little brother this morning; added distraction!

R.I.P

oh they have more than that.

they've set up like half a dozen excuses already.

Nobody is gonna use that.. lol.. he started light training just basic regular workouts.. His 8 week training camp is where he will really train.. just like pac.. they will both kill themselves in the 8 weeks before the fight.. I'll be the 1st Cotto fan to say Pac was the better man if he beats Cotto.. unless its a BS decision like the Paulie fight..

We have a list that we will bring out IF Pac wins...count on it!

[KingTito]

Roach is right though. I'm sure he's confident in his fighter, but the last thing anyone should be doing, especially Pacquiao's camp, is underestimate Cotto. The same goes for Cotto too. They shouldn't underestimate Pacquiao.

Yeah I agree. Berto is the perfect fight for Shane. Very winnable fight, he will look good fighting Berto and he gets to unify the belts. I'm just not sure Berto's promoters want him stepping up just yet. However if Berto could sneak a win then it would do wonders for his career which is falling away after he got beat by an old man(unofficially)

Then if Shane has the belts, is ranked number 1 then surely he can get a big fight. If he still doesn't then boxing is in a worse state than I thought.
