Nice Try, Damage control................

(The video was before they drained Cotto to 145)

They want to drain Mayweather like they did with Cotto??? Good luck with that!!
They will fight Clottey at 147, but not Cotto. They will fight Margarito at 150, but not Floyd at 147. Basically they are picking and choosing guys they can beat and draining and looking for advantages to beat the ones who can actually beat Pacquiao.

Great Heroes? Great Warriors? Nah.. just opportunistic pricks.

Joke Coach Roach is a good cherry picker he picked and choose pacquiao's entire career fact

I think Roach has developed a certain skill when it comes to cherry picking. This is because he stuck around for too long and it damaged his health. This gives him a "sixth sense" if you will. He's extremelely good at seeing when a fighter is in decline and cherry picking them after brutal losses. And then making it a catchweight fight to add insult to injury.

Morales after losing every round to Zahir Raheem
Hatton after being brutally KO'd by Mayweather
Cotto after being destroyed by a guy with bricks in his gloves
Margarito after being brutally KO'd by Mosley

Several examples of Roach's cherry picking. And this has to put Pacquiao's resume into question. He has beaten alot of good fighters. But how many of them were in their dominant prime? Ok Barrera but who else? Marquez. But you could argue that Pacquiao lost both of those fights.

However, Roach's cherry picking will continue. You can be certain of that.

manny is a great fighter my ass,hes looked good because of strategic opponent selection.

Roach was popping the most **** about fighting floyd as soon as floyd was coming out of retirement. thats when he wanted him the most.

after fighting JMM, roach and the team talked less ****. and after shane, roach hasnt been talking much **** at all.

they know whats coming. its called a L, by why of schooling and KO

even MAB, him and EM beat the hell out of one another. and just like EM was ableto beat Manny intheir fight eventhough he was far past prime, his ring IQ was his major asset. his body was there, just enough. which roach didnt expect. but not the second and third fight.

MAB, eventhough he was on a good run, he was far past prime, too. and his body wouldnt be able to respond with a young tycoon like manny, and Freddie knew that and got it right, that time

MAB was past prime, i dont care want anyone says

Boxing is a business,if you can take less risks and wrap cotton wool on some people and make them believe your fighter is the best then you will do it.Manny aint nothing in boxing,so far he has only fought Clottey at 147 and no one else.Cotto had to starve,DeLaHoya had to come with only one leg to make 147 and now Margarito will have to come wthout an arm for a 154 fight.We all know these guys refused to fight Mosley unless he chopped both of his arms off and they wouldnt fight Mayweather unless Mayweather was willing to overlook the 'vitamins' issue.You really call that little thing the best?I beg to differ

Roach is doing his job....he is protecting his fighter and maximising his chances of winning-----> this all equals more money....the end goal of everyone involved in the sport. Not going to begrudge a trainer for doing his job well (their is a reason he is in demand). However it would be nice if the ******ed fans on this board recognised that Manny's opponents were selected very carefully.

Hatton, ODLH, Cotto and Clottey are all left hand dominant fighters with 3 out of the 4 having slow feet and needing to set to throw. 2 out of the 4 fought at a catchweight. Again 2 out of the 4 had come off brutal losses, and in Cotto's case a brutal "win" over Clottey aswell.

Margarito coming off a long layoff and a brutal loss to SSM and also @ a catchweight, and again he has slow feet. Still IMO he is a bigger challenge to Manny than the 4 that preceeded him.
