Roach carefully picks Pac's opponents; Floyd does as well; both want each other...

Read the first post. It's when Roach goes after opponents. Forget the "name" but when he goes after him. Listen to Roach's interviews on each of his opponents he picks: He tells you loud and clear: this guy doesn't have it anymore...my guy will expose it.

I don't like Floyd hyping up Oscar as a big win even if it was at a bigger weight either because Oscar was still past his prime...not the same fighter Mosley fought and beat at 147.

its easy to say all that but its different in the ring... and roach is known to mouth off just to get in the heads of the opp...


little dude fighting the arguably the best ww no matter what is a very risky move

stop acting like its not man... even a floyd would not dare to touch the man for years

The results prove Roach right though.

Ah, no...Cotto wasn't the best WW...at least not in my book. He was brutally beaten by Magarito...same person that got many to question if Cotto would be the same...and then later brought up after Cotto's following fights...even in his last fight against Clottey. Even Atlas has a field day at that.
Williams is still the hardest fight out there at 147 but neither Shane, Cotto, Floyd, or Pac seemed to want to jump in the ring with him.

I also gave Pac a chance to knock out by Cotto because I've seen Cotto almost taken out several times before: At 140 and at 147 he has been hurt.

Remember, Shane asked for the fight but Roach told him to get down to at least 143. He even wanted Floyd to take off some weight to "take something away from him."
