    Got it. It would make a lot of $$ too - they could sell it as a big "revenge" match.

    tells u **** all, it was an exibition fight. makes me **** myself laughing when haters use that fight as some kind of gauge for pac's ability. Pac was a great fighter way before he beat up oscar. The oscar fight means **** all.

    Exactly, same concept. 140 is his weight, they should meet him there if they want to challenge him.

    bingo. The only reason that fight says anything is cause Pac could have beat Oscar with one hand tied behind his back.

    Oscar's been shot since he fought Felix Sturm

    Man I was really slow to call this cherrypicking but damn man. Roach should really shut the **** up.

    "If I thought that Oscar could pull the trigger, I would have never let manny take the fight"-Roach

    If that isnt cherrypicking then what the **** is. I mean he is admitting. Know all the weight demands on Cotto, and Mosley and the low purse for Floyd is pretty much making sure that those fights dont happen...Next up Chavez Jr, and it better not be a pound over 142 or Pac will get some horrible backlash.

    I totally agree with this, pacquiao doesnt have to fight these fighters giving a 10 lb advantage but my question comes here, why everybody calls mayweather a ducker for not fighting cotto and mosley at welter? its the exactly same case, mayweather is known for being a small welter he comes at fight night at 149 max 150 while these other 2 guys come at almost 160, paquiao came against dlh at 149 in fight night the same as FMJ does in welter weight, he doesnt gain weight over the night and people calls FMJ a ***** for not wanting to fight these 2 guys giving almost 10 lbs of advantage in fight night but to pacuiao is ok? Its the same weight difference in fight night between pac and cotto and between fmj and cotto so why all the hate for fmj? I agree that pac is no ducking anyone for trying to be fair, also agree cotto cant make 140 or ssm 142 so the fight shouldnt happen fmj can and thats the fight should happen if floyd beats jmm... People who I call duckers are the ones who are fighting at welter and they weight almost 160 in fight night I know its legal but what the hell is that? Move up in weight to super welter to fight someone of your weight, specially Margo, cotto and ssm, the duckers are not pac and fmj the duckers are the other ones...imo...

    the thing is, Roach said he found out Oscar couldn't pull the trigger when they were training to fight against PBF. He also said that he found out Oscar couldn't cut off the ring during that camp

    So what he's saying also applies to Floyd. Oscar's been an easy scalp for a long, long time. Pac did what he had to do in there, which is beat an easy scalp easier than anyone expected.

    Oscar was almost 10 pounds heavier at the weigh in and about 18 pounds heavier at fight time. But hey I guess that had nothing to do with it.

    Pac fans are killing me on this subject..They claim that when Pac got knocked out it was because he was weight drained, yet they only want him to fight weight drained fighters.

    Oh and... this obvious cherry picking by Roach... (OR, maybe he just wants Floyd, we'll see)

    The funny thing is the nuthuggers of other fighters like Floyd, who have the nerve to post here infuriated as if Floyd is out there fighting everyone. Lol.

    Any body who thinks that pq is cherry peeking for not fighting a fighter at their prime at 147 is completely out of his mind. His logic is a product of bias mind not capable of fair judgement. His attitude is completely blinded by dislike to pq. Pq did not duck anybody within his natural weight limit. On the contrary he ventured his luck to another level not just once, twice but more times. How about mayweather? Can he equal what pq did?
    Show me the beef otherwise, stop the non-sense.
