*******s discredit floyd beating hatton first cuz it was at 147 not 140 where he was a champ. will u apply your same hater logic to manny when he beats a 140 champ at 147?

No. Bradley never said fighting at 147 is no good for him as Hatton did on a post fight interview on HBO after fighting Luis Collazo...which everyone knows he lost that fight. He vowed never to do it again.
Bradley beat and felt food at 147 beating Luis Carlos Abregu..an undefeated fighter. So NO. And I dont Fault Floyd for fighting Hatton. I fault Hatton for fighting at a weight he knows he sucks at. Did Floyd use it to his advantage...Of course he did.

You'd have a point if Hatton didn't come in at around the same weight that he did when he fought at 140. 147 probably actually helped him because he didn't have to dehydrate as much. Mayweather weighed less than most of the fighters that fought Hatton at 140 did.

Are we talking about the same Roach that said days ago that Cotto had good chances against Mayweather ?

Stop it man.....Pllllleeeeeeaaaaassssse.... you are so full of it. Funny how you're tying to discredit Cotto but Roach said about 2 weeks ago that he really wanted the Cotto fight again instead of Bradley at 147. Also you're trying to say Pac beat Mosley better but Pac ducked Mosley in 09 BIG TIME. Stop trying to discredit knowledgeable posters with fan boy logic and continue to promote your Manny Pacqiao shrine.

The change of mind of Roach let me think that Cotto-Mayweather boxing card will outsell by good numbers Bradley-Pacquiao card, after several trainers including him said that Cotto have a good change, he now change his mind because that word from him will help SELL the fight and that is not what they want. The close dates on the fights are because they want to see how much both sales going to a new negotiation. So he change because he need it, but i bet the Cotto Mayweathe card will outsell Pacquiao Bradley for more than 500,000 to 600,000 ppv buys. Just thinking

And that Floyd only throws 15 punches per round...

[WalkerSmith1921]

All two of them huh? WOW thats amazing. Did you know its the only two in his carrer? VS Mannys 7 undefeated fighters hes fought! Make it 8 with Bradley!
Oh...Mannys resume is beter and ther is a reason Manny got fighter of the decade.

Manny's resume is not better and the reason he got fighter of the decade is because he was carefully matched against dehydrated, low confidence, not looking good in their last fights, catchweights fighters.

Dude get a life because you know nothing about boxing.

According to Freddie Roach, trainer of WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, there won't be any surprises on May 5th at the MGM Grand - when Floyd Mayweather Jr. moves up to 154-pounds to challenge WBA champion Miguel Cotto, who Pacquiao stopped in the twelfth round in 2009.
