Roach to ask Pacquiao to move down to 140

Roach apparently wants to see if Pacquiao can establish his power again. He states Pacquiao is lacking KO's because he's fighting in a division with naturally bigger guys. Thoughts.

 

Roach said this in a interview with MaxBoxing.

With that in mind, Roach says, “I’m going to ask him if we can fight at 140 because that’s a better weight for him. He has no trouble making 140. He walks around at 142, so we really have to put weight on to make 147 and he’s fighting these bigger, stronger guys. I mean, Bradley was at least 160 going into that ring.”

Roach admits there is a natural decline in Pacquiao given he’s 35 years old and a veteran of over 60 professional bouts. If the Pacquiao of 2008-2010 was Bo Derek - in other words, a “10” - what is this current version? “Y’know, I think he’s about an eight; he’s still doing well. He beat a legit guy; he beat him soundly. I think he was hurt a little bit in the fourth round but that’s part of life.”

Here's part of that interview.

 

I really don't think it's as much about who he fights, but how he looks. There's probably no one at TR at 140 who could beat him, unless 140 turns out to be too draining. Don't really understand this move. Of course this is only if Pacquiao decides it's best.

Yea like that part too, hope Pacquiao decides to remain a free agent and test the waters over at GB.
