    Foreman fight will have to be at 154lbs. Clottey is only at 147lbs. Get it now.

        Actually, he specifically said it was the heigt, which makes no sense.

        However he did state WW was his last division. So I give him that.
        He still has to go up to the next higher weight level of 154lbs. BTW, The difference between DLH at 5'10 and Yuri at 5'11, is that Yuri fights at 5'11, DLH fights at the same level of his opponents.

          The Mayweather fight is the fight the world wants to see,” Roach said. “It’s going to be the biggest pay-per-view fight of all time. But I think we will fight one fight before that.”

          Roach said that Pacquiao’s schedule will be constructed around his political ambitions and the elections in the Philippines on May 10. “But there is a March date for him to fight,” Roach said. “People think I am crazy but I want him to win his eighth title against Yuri Foreman at 154lb. That’s my idea — then fight Mayweather in September. And then retire.”

              dude is burying himself in a hole..he comes up with the ******est excuses and goes public with it instead of thoroughly thinking **** out..he ducked Mayweather and Foreman all with in a month..and his fans still don't see the wrong there...

              that's to prove who his ****riders are..and who BOXING fans are..
              is this guy serious?

              Before , Pacman fighting Foreman was a joke but now that he picked a tougher opponent in Clottey..he is ducking Foreman?

                Apparently, it's because Yuri Foreman is "too tall" at... 5'11.

                Oscar is... 5'10 and a half.

                Yeah.

                  "Manny's concerned with Foreman's height..."

                  don't selectively read to support your argument and idol bro..and if it's about weight..didn't Clottey come in at 170lbs on fight night against Corrales a few years ago?..

                    Wow what has this site come to? It is not possible to duck someone who fights in a higher division that you have never fought in.

                      Yeah.
                      OMG! Fight with Yuri is 154lbs! Manny does not want to go up anymore, 147lbs is his limit. He said so after the Cotto fight. It's not ducking when a boxer clearly admits that he doesn't want to fight another boxer because of his opponents size and his own limitation.
