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

[fallen9182]

So Freddy Roach makes outrageous demands, then when Mayweather says no to them. People will say how he ducked Pacquiao.

40 Mayweather, 40 Pacquiao 20 winner. At 147lbs. I don't know why the fight with Cotto had to take place at 145lbs either, was beyond ****** seeing as he ( Cotto) was the underdog going to that fight anyway.

You should aim to beat people in their best possible condition.

Agreed. +1

Mostly everyone here didn't care for Cotto to lose 1 pound from his last fight where he weigh-in at 146 the same weight Mayweather made in his last fight against Marquez.
So I don't see a problem for Floyd who has come up from being a lightweight.

I do, its getting ******... you can't just keep asking guys to do this and ****, he has the WW title... meaning by the WBO he is ranked the champion at WW, which has a limit of 147... you shouldn't fiddle with that, I let it go with Cotto but this is taking the piss now, going too far.

[hugh grant]

He agreed to 144 but it got changed last minute... all these catchweights aren't any good. If Pacquiao is holding the WW title... he should be defending it at the WW limit... I am sorry but that's the way it is. I was a little against the Cotto fight being at 145, but I let it go... but its getting ****** now.

Nah PBF shouldnt worry. At least if he loses to Pac he can say it was the 2lb that made the difference. Cotto is man enough not to lie and say it. But if PBF wants an excuse its there for him.

Manny is a welterweight now. No more catchweights.

You go into fights to win, not to lose and make an excuse as to why. Hes supposed to be the WW champion... so he should defend it at the WW limit... none of this nonono bull****, its getting ******. Whenever Floyd says he would prefer the lions share people ***** and moan but when Freddie says it and says it should be at another catchweight when his fighter is supposed to be the champion at WW people aren't saying **** and are condoning it.

Double standards.

Didnt PBF agree 145 against JMM, so why not against Pac?
COtto didnt complain that it was hard and hes supposed to be naturally bigger than PBF isnt he?

What are you worried about PBF? I thought you was a man. Letting DLH choose the gloves and stuff like that.

Who said he wont agree , how many times did Freddy say Floyd is small with fragile hands , Floyd is the man untill somebody takes him , if he were to beat Mosley or Williams that surpasses Pac Cotto in the politics stakes anyway ,,,, but he gunnas beat Pac and again will be P4P king , Floyds smart he knows who to knock off and when , Freddie is right he is small with fragile hands so he chooses wisely , Pac is his next choice .

[TRAVI$]

Roach may be the coach of the most exciting fighter in the sport, but this **** is getting tedious... if he's going to go through with these requests it will be a miracle if the king of excuses will step in the ring.

[sycomantz]

where are the pac tards to call Bull ****? werent they saying that Pac can officially fight at 147? werent they entertaining the idea of pac going up to get a 154lbs belt?

they tuck tail, and dont speak up. they know Pac cant beat floyd, so does Roach. thats why roach is starting with the catchweight **** again

*******s are officially the gayest groupies on this site

Roach is casting a dark shadow over pac and his last few wins.

hes showing that none of them have the guts to fight a healthy and great fighter

[Spacey1991]

I mean, how can you be considered the WW champion when you win it at a weight that is lower than the original limit (though at first I was against it I let it go, and give Pacquiao full credit for beating Cotto... and consider him the WW champion) and then keep defending it at a weight lower than the original limit? Its ******...

Fair enough he won it at 145, let that one slip as a one off... but he shouldn't just keep defending it at 145, especially after how good he looked at 145 anyway, 147 should be fine.

Not this **** again..

Hahaha, my thoughts exactly
