Freddie Roach - Martinez or Berto in the mix if Mayweather isn't

[Eric Holder]

Freddie Roach joined 8CountNews and spoke about the brilliant performance put forth by Manny Pacquiao last Saturday night in Dallas. Roach talks about Manny's performance, and he also touches on possible future opponents as well.



Of course Floyd Mayweather Jr came up, and Roach agreed that it's the fight that most of the fans want to see, but he's not too confident that it will happen at this point. Sergio Martinez at a catch weight, and Andre Berto were two names that Freddie talked about the most. Check out what else Freddie Roach had to say in this exclusive 8CN Podcast

It would be great if it was Martinez, realistically though I don't think is likely.

I do hope is Berto instead of Mosley.

I doubt that Martinez is even in consideration as a possible opponent but assuming Roach isn't blowing smoke, what do you think the catchweight would be 156 lbs?

I would like to see PAC face Floyd and win or lose face Sergio for a all or nothing retirement fight

the catchweight would probably be under 154 lbs or lower. martinez will scoff at the offer as he should.

please let pac fight berto or the winner of bradley/alexander instead of mosley.

Pacquiao willing to take on Martinez, Mayweather

Pacquiao reiterated that he is not hanging up his boxing gloves and is good for another fight after 6 months.

Asked which boxer he would like to take on, he said he would take on anybody in the ring including World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight champion Sergio Martinez. The Argentinean Martinez retained his WBC middleweight belt after knocking out American Paul Williams with an impressive second-round punch on Saturday.

Pacquiao said he would most likely fight Martinez below 150 pounds.

Wonder if he means he would personally fight below 150 because there's no way Martinez can get lower than 154

But this is a good starting point, both Manny and Roach are open to the idea.
