Roach: `160 might be next, maybe we will go to nine world titles`

[_original_]

..`I don't rate him (Margarito) as a great fighter, we've fought better, he's just bigger, and that's not going to help him. You'll see the best manny Pacquiao yet on Saturday night, I feel."

Once again, here is Roach diminishing Pacquiaos possible accomplishment. SMH

That 160 talk is just nonsense, in order for that title to mean anything Manny will have to go fight the winner of Martinez/Williams at 160 for it truly be something special. If this even happens, expect to see him fight somebody like Chavez Jr for a vacant 160 title at a catchweight of 156

That's going to keep the forum busy for a while.

154.1 catchweight

And Williams demanded a 157 catchweight, and he's 6'2" with a 82" wingspan... Manny is 5'6", 67" reach. Who has more of a valid claim for a CW?

Plus Sergio offered a 155 catchweight to Angulo or any other fighter who wanted to take him on, so that's another option. And boxing fans should be happy that Roach and Manny's side are saying Paul Williams could be next, especially since Paul claims he can still make 147.

Here's a scenario: Paul Williams beats Sergio Martinez to win the WBC belt. Vacates the belt to move down to 147 as he stated he wants to do. Pacquiao vs. Cotto rematch at 155 or 156 for the vacant WBC MW belt.

he did..floyd rather stay in jail..

when did he accept Olympic style random blood testing without any cut off dates? also Floyd isn't even in jail man lets be rational here he's dealing with a Woman who has lied in the past before about similar things..

honestly shes a trifling Woman who runs threw money as if shes the one making it and would probably take a length like this to assure she can keep getting that paper, she could be lying yo she could be telling those kids to say whatever she wants while scaring them on some "say this or mommy will go to jail"

Oh god no.

The perfect scenario would be if Lemiuex picked up a title. His style and Manny's would make a FOTY type fight. Also Lemiuex isn't that big of a MW and his reach is very similar to Manny's....meaning team Pacquiao isn't giving up huge physical advantages come fight night.

A record sixth paper title. Not bad.

[Seleção No. 13]

He's just saying this to make new headlines. Honestly, Ariza would choke him. Will Manny consume 10,000+ calories to make at least 154?

No way Lemeiux makes that jump this early. Besides who is he going to fight? The weakest champ is Sylvester, but like all German fighters outside of Abraham, he is content defending in his home country against bums.
