    "The easiest fight out of those three, in my opinion, is Mayweather...The other two guys are way stronger, way more physical. Look at Mayweather; he struggled against De La Hoya and his fight with Hatton was competitive...And Manny killed both of those guys. I don't care what the excuses are. A fact is a fact. He (Mayweather) won a split decision against De La Hoya. We didn't lose a round to either."

    "Manny bet on Mosley (against Margarito); he won a lot of money that night. Mosley is fast, he is aggressive, he is strong and it looks like he would be the toughest fight out there. But then you have to take into consideration that Cotto beat him. Both are bigger than Mayweaether, size-wise. Mayweather can make 140 easy. He is just lazy."

    Mayweather/Pacquiao has to happen. This would probably be the first time the opposition would be talking more **** than Mayweather.

    It's official. Manny is calling Floyd out. What's his response to this challenge?
    Boxings fans want it. Let's get it on.

    good strategy to lure fmj to sign a fight @ 140, i hope fmj thinks pac is an easy fight and not think he's the face of boxing right now so he won't ask too much for his purse, if his ego is as big as his mouth goodbye dream match. :-(

    LOL wow...did that kinda sound like freddy feels fighting pbf would be cherrypicking for manny??? :huh:rofl

    i think it was...and i think its a great strategy to get pbf to come down to manny at 140 (seeing how jmm is fighting at anything between 143 and 147 depending on what you believe)

    I can see why Floyd Mayweather Senior calls Freddie Roach "Freddie the Joke Coach Roach". The only reason he wants the fight at 140 pounds is that he hopes it would weaken PBF. PBF is top dog hence the issue is whether Roach and Pacgirl want it or not.

    Pacman would get crucified by PBF, Cotto and Mosley.

    Roach knows this is not true.

    They're just calling PBF out, so hold your horses PBF fans.
    Floyd is one of the most dedicated men in boxing along with Manny Pacquiao, and Roach knows this. :deal

    Maybe they see PBF as shot @ 32?
    Anything is possible, They might have some inside 411?
    (Either that or they just plain don't fear the guy)

    Either way, Dem's iz fighting wordz.

    Who can argue with Roach?

    He was 2 for 2 so far on his insights on Delahoya and Hatton.

    He is way wide of the mark here.

    Floyd and Cotto shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence!

    well all know the ****** is gonna fight, he just wants to build suspense and his bank account. Floyd can't not fight Manny. He says he's back to add a few more names on his CV for when he enters hall of fame and goes down as one of the very best. He would undermine his whole career by avoiding the elephant in the room in Manny Pacquiao.

    Were just wasting our time wondering is something which is inevitable is ever going to happen.

    It did not take a genius to know Pacman would beat De La Hoya and Hatton. If that makes one a genius then it would make me Einstein.

    Pacman has not been able to demonstrate mastery of Marquez who is actually a better fighter than him.

    Freddie Roach has been wrong many a time.
