Freddy Roach: "Mayweather is the easiest fight!"

[j]

well, i never said pac would walk through mayweather. i just think it is a safer fight in that floyd has never really showed that he had the pop to hurt a determined fighter easily. and pacquiao is as determined as they come basically. cotto is a strong, big guy for his weight. mosley is too. i could see pac pressing the action in a mayweather fight, but i think he will have to rely more on his speed, slickness, and quick combinations to beat cotto.

edit: and, my intuition just says that pbf vs pac is a safer fight, with less risk.

then I agree with you. I think Manny has a chance but more than likely Mayweather would give Manny a pummeling en route to a UD.

I believe as far as wear & tear go,floyd really is the easiest fight for the Pacman!!Fighting Mosley & Cotto means taking big shots back,fighting floyd means a potshot here & there!!I'd rather have floyd fighting backwards & barely throwing while making me miss than exchanging big shots with either Mosley or Cotto!!

Manny would be definitely easier than Shane and Cotto IMO.

Cotto is Manny's easiest fight and this could go either way. But Roach sounds a lot more concerned this time around, he sounds scared to me.

where you from in the midwest J?

[RodBarker]

compare to cotto or ssm i agree 100%....

Compared to them Freddie said Floyd is small and fragile , why do you people constantly leave out the full story and whats actually said !!!

[screwhead1]

i'm pretty confident that floyd would be the hardest fight for anyone between 147 and 154...

[krispy kreme]

Roach has issues. He says the same thing like everyday or says the complete opposite of what he said before.

154? 154? Pwill will kill him in that weight. The only person he faught at 154 was Oscar. Honestly, he hasn't prove himself at WW- baldomir/judah/hatton.

I give him hatton undefeated...but baldomir had 9 loses, zab lost twice to baldomir and spinks in 1-1.5 year period.


Mayweather needs to fight cotto, mosley, or margo... which i think he will prove himself if he beats them
