Roach says someone might cross over from GBP to fight Pacquiao

[Big_L]

One thing we should all know by now is that Roach is completely out of the loop when it comes to making decisions. He always gives his opinions but never seems to get his way. It's all Arum and Koncz.

Anyone who buys this should leave the board.

So basically Khan

[-Makunouchi-]

My guess is it would be Marcos Maidana, Just a guess.

Maidana is GBP-Haymon. On a streak now, so a good cash offer could entice him

This could also Justify Khan-Floyd fight.

Just making a guess here

Koncz said they are considering two choices other than Provo and Bradley. Theres good reason to think they'd think neither guy would be a good choice and the only other options would be to look outside TR.

Bradley - style issue matchup wise.
Provo - same trainer, high risk no reward

You always need a fall back plan and and I dont doubt they are exploring non-TR fighters - maybe Garcia or Maidana

[WARQUEZ]

Pacquiao-Garcia would be a huge fight. The 24/7 for that fight would be spectacular. HBO wants a piece of that.

They just don't want to fight Bradley. They want a next Rios. Every time Pac steps in the ring with a technician it becomes a problem. His image is built on him being destructive in the ring. Anyone who doesn't allow him to be that is a non-option. Roach has been making the same statement post Dela Hoya.

It is not about the Pac being good or adjusting to look good. It is about Pac's opponents' style than make him look good. This is from coach's mouth and the promoter's and, too often, it is being overlooked.

he's out of the loop but what he says makes perfect sense. Bradley is a good fight for boxing fans however thats not Arum or Koncz agenda. They can't risk another lousy PPV.

If they need to explore non-TR fighters then its only common sense.

[IMDAZED]

Roach went on to say that another smart option would be to scour Floyd Mayweathers' most recent victories, the last five victims or so, choose one, and beat them in a manner more decisive than Floyd did.

Wow. Just wow.

[Fetta]

Well Berto and Peterson were once names being mentioned. They come cheap with some name value.
