    Aside from Pac? That mother****er is the biggest hype job in the history of boxing.

    Trainer gets accolades for looking to beat top names who are in decline? Who the *** gets accoldaes for purposely looking for the weaker way out? What great fighter only fights guys who are in decline? If you even have a inkling that you are in decline they will fight you. Top guys who arent in decline? I dont think so. Pac wont fight guys who are on top of their game. PWill? Shane? nah...

    Who makes most sense for Pacs next fight? Margarito or Victor Ortiz...

    Why? Layoffs, coming off losses, recognizeable names, etc... .

    *** the PAC strategy... GTFO..."aside from Pac boxing is continuesly going in the wrong direction" yea with all these Flip hypejobs.

      I think the Roach is mis-speaking here. Manny has not yet shown that he is a 147lb fighter. He's a 145 lb fighter.

        During fight night, do you seriously think Pacman and Cotto weighed 145 lbs? Seriously? Again, Cotto weighed 146 lbs a night before during the Clottley fight... It doesn't make a difference. Cotto wasn't complaining about the 145 lbs catchweight, then why are you?

            Pac is the number 1 P4P today and that's undeniable, so why question his hypes? Beside he defeated the best every division he went through could offer. As a matter of fact, he wanted to fight even to Floyd who is bigger than him.

            And who Floyd fought without coming from loses, huh? only bloated Hatton and Corrales but simply not enough to bragged off!

              Plus Khan is on the same diet and supplements that Pac gets.
              How many Manny Pacquiao's have there ever been man? Just because a once in a life time boxer does something does not mean Khan can do it.

                This kid Khan will have a great future under Roach, his chin becomes stronger while he's gainning weight opted for his built. His speed, skill and power will be his main pillars to greatness in few years time!

                  Roach saying Khan can become a middleweight makes me further believe that Pacquiao is on some ****, and now Khan is taking the same thing. No way he can take a welterweight punch let alone a middleweight punch. Let's be serious!

                      He's got the height and frame to fill out to WW (which is what Freddie was talking about), but I don't see his chin holding up against a full sized WW puncher
