Freddy Roach On Mayweather fight: "I want the fight at 145 lb"

[Burner]

And if he does the fight should be canceled and he should be fined.

Wow you pac fans are terrified of Floyd....seriously.

LMAO.

Whats wrong with Manny fighting at 147?

[Piper the Great]

roach is killing the fight. This is worse than floyd cherry picking.if you don't wanna fight at that wieght class don't fight those fighters in that class.

btw roach ur fighter is a WW champion that catchweight **** is for the birds

[rommel357]

Sure, he can come in at 140¼ if he wants. That's his option.

His opponent, however, should be allowed to come in at 147 on the dot - no need to impose restrictions on their chances to win the fight.

So if the latter does indeed take place again, a certain beltholder and his trainer are going to look like a pair of very tight *******...

Check my post, #137.

haha, this is too funny, now the pacgots are trying to come up with excuses for a catchweight.

Dude, how does this make any sense?

Roach was just interviewed talking about going UP to 154 to take Yuri Foreman's belt.

So why do they need a catchweight at 145 for Mayweather?

Roach was just interviewed talking about going UP to 154 to take Yuri Foreman's belt.

But Pacquiao himself explicitly stated that 147 was the last division he would attempt to conquer. Does that sneaky weasel Roach have other plans in mind?

And besides, why go after a lame beltholder at 154 when he could fight the soon-to-be WBC 154 champion PAUL WILLIAMS!

[PittyPat]

do realize that this is not Manny's decision or suggestion.

Sure, but he's his own man and should be fully capable of speaking for himself. He needed Roach far too much for all that Cotto stuff, so now it's time for him to say "Alright Mayweather, let's do this. My belt and p4p title are on the line, at 147. Where do you want me to sign?"

[Killa_Kali]

come on man... Everyone has always considered Floyd a "small" WW because he was... But over his two year lay-off and seeing him this past September we all realized that he definetly grew in to his Welterweight body... He looked bigger then ever before... He could even make 154 a couple years ago when he tried but now i bet he could make 154 easily

floyd is a LW with no belt. what are you smoking?

[MJ406]

now that Manny has a WW belt

the catchweight crap has to stop

pac can do what he wants. including asking floyd to sign a butthurt form.

[MJ406]

but seriously why does a WW champion need to hide behind a catchweight?

I can't think to imagine if they switched places and it was Mayweather moving up and asking Cotto to fight at 145.
