Did Pacquiao & Roach DUCK Shane Mosley?

[V.WEBB]

Since Freddie said Cotto was past it and he also said Mayweather was past it at welter and couldn't move around like he used to I want you to admit that you are going to use this as an excuse "if" pac ever beats floyd.

I just want you to admit that whatever Freddie Roach says is 100% spot on accurate about other fighters.

LOL. Floyd ain't losing to Manny.

[Joeyzagz]

By duck do you mean fighting a top welterweight that was actually in his prime instead of Shane?

Cotto was done in by the same guy that Mosley obliterated.

Mosley has never been knocked out before and has the fresher chin between the two.

[KnockoutKings]

Didn't they say they would fight Shane if he beats Floyd?

[^^Cody^^]

LOL Freddie Roach proposed those stipulations because he figured that Mosley would NEVER agree at his advanced age to go down in weight. He forgot, Shane Mosley, LIKE PAC has NEVER seen a contract he didn't like. Pac has seen a lot of contracts he didn't like lately since he knows there is a possibility that he will get his ass whooped.

Adolf Hitler also got voted president of Germany in a free and ********ic election.

Yeah people never vote for the wrong thing ever!

Germany was broken and in shambles before Hitler came to power. Hitler improved the economy and created more jobs for the Germans, and turned the country into a super power following their loss in WW1.

Im not saying Hitler was a good guy, but technically voting him in was the right thing to do, as it raised Germany out of the great depression.

But thats besides the point

People are voting that Roach ducked Mosley, because there is a video of Roach explicitly saying that Mosley is too good.

Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, says that Mosley visited the Pacquiao camp and talked about a fight.

"I asked Shane if he could get down to 142, and he said no," Roach said. "I don't think Pacquiao-Mosley is likely."

Pacquiao-Mosley at 144 lb not advisable, says Wakee.


MANILA, Philippines - Manny Pacquiao should avoid falling into the trap being laid out for him by Shane Mosley.


One of Pacquiao’s advisers – Rex “Wakee” Salud – issued the warning after Mosley said he’s ready to stake his WBA welterweight crown if he gets to face the Filipino champion at a catch weight of 144 lb on Oct. 17.


Salud said it’s all too good to be true.

“Manny may be too small for Mosley if he agrees to fight at 144 pounds."


“It’s Mosley who needs Manny so he should agree to what Freddie Roach (Pacquiao’s trainer) wants and that’s 142. Or at least, maybe they can make 143. But not 144,” added Salud.


“That’s Manny’s comfort zone, to weigh in at 138, 140 or 142 lb. If he agrees to 144, that will give Mosley all the comfort he needs,” Salud said.

Mosley said he can try and make 144 and then he plans to climb the ring against Pacquiao at 154 lb or anywhere he’s comfortable at without sacrificing his speed.


Mosley asked Roach why they can’t fight him at 147 lb just like Dela Hoya and the three-time Trainer of the Year simply said Mosley is not Dela Hoya.

AFTER JULY 2009:

"Shane came to the gym twice to ask me to let him fight Manny," Roach says. "I told him no both times, and both times for the same two reasons: First, there isn't enough money there, and second, you're too good a fighter."
