Roach: “Mosley will be beaten by Floyd”
February 2nd, 2010

By William Mackay: In an article at the Telegraph, trainer Freddie Roach says that he thinks that Floyd Mayweather Jr. will beat Shane Mosley if they do end up fighting. Right now, the fight is up in the air because Mayweather hasn’t said a thing for almost a week after the contract was signed by Mosley for a fight on May 1st, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Roach, the trainer for Manny Pacquiao among many others, says “If Floyd does fight Shane, that’s a good fight, and one I’d like to see.

But Mosley will be beaten by Floyd. Mosley does well with guys who will come at him. He has trouble with guys who move. Mayweather wins that fight. But Mosley is a brave guy. If for any reason Mosley wins, Manny would definitely fight him. We’ll take that fight.” If Mosley wins that fight, there would be little choice for Pacquiao to take the fight against Mosley. What Roach says isn’t really earth shattering news by any means.

That’s the only fight out there for Pacquiao, unless he wants to fight light middleweight Paul Williams. Of course, I could see Pacquiao continuing to fight Top Rank fighters and choosing to fight Yuri Foreman in a move to collect another paper title. However, I don’t see that as being worth anything, just as the fight against Joshua Clottey seems to be a waste of time for Pacquiao. The only real option for Pacquiao is a fight against Mayweather or Mosley, and if Shane knocks off Mayweather, then that’s the fight that Pacquiao has to take.

I think Roach was paying Mosley a compliment, I think if that becomes THE fight, it'll happen.

Roach should coach Mosley against Mayweather. Then coach PacMan against Mosley.

Mosley is good. and would have a heck of a height and reach advantage over Pacquiao.

But the man is simply not fast enough to catch Mayweather when he gets on his bike, nor are his reflexes quick enough at this stage of his career to react when Floyd decides to potshot here and there. But in a real "fight" Mosley beats the crap out of floyd

That would be called a "conflict of interest" my friend

Who cares. Angelo Dundee coached Jimmy Ellis against Joe Frazier then coached Ali against Jimmy Ellis.

The fighter cares obviously. Mosley already has a good rapport with Richardson at this point and they've both been around the sport long enough to know consistency is key.

agreed. most articles i've read suggest roach likes mosley, thinks he's a good guy. was probably just saying that to compliment him, but given the right money he wouldn't mind putting pac against shane. if shane beats floyd (though frankly i doubt floyd will sign that contract) then shane gets the loyalty of the american fan, and a pac-shane fight would make financial sense
