    Sounds excuses mate. Whats the take on pre Hatton and Delahoya fights?

    Anyway, the point is the insightful analysis of Roach the way He saw Delahoya and Hatton conditions.

    Wrong.

    Cotto would be much easier, one I would back Pacquiao to win.

    Cotto wont come down to 140lbs...if this fight happens, it would either be in 145 or 147lbs....that weight cotto will be too big and too strong..

    Agreed! And calling Floyd "lazy"? That man works as hard as anyone in training!

    I picked Pacman to beat De La Hoya and Hatton. If you don't believe me check my previous posts. It does not make me a genius but I do know my boxing. In Hatton's case in particular Hatton has never been able to deal with southpaws properly who have always bothered him or very sleek skilled boxer punchers. Stylistically I said Pacman was an even worse matchup for Hatton than PBF was and that that was saying something.

    As for De La Hoya the one factor which has bothered him all his career is speed hence against a certain calibre of fighter he struggled therefore what would make it any different in his mid to late 30's.

    If he is truly insiteful he would steer Pacman away from PBF, Cotto and Mosley.

    Roach knows he speaks nothing but BS. Everyone with a bit of common sense knows we are heading down the road to Pac vs Mayweather anyway- and the trashtalk of Floyd being 'lazy' is nothing but a mere goad to get Floyd back down to 140. Floyd ain't having none of that.

    The only man who can match Pac's work ethic, even surpass it, is Floyd.

    Well, I certainly disagree that Mayweather is lazy and would be the easiest option. However, that doesn't really matter. All that matter's is that both sides are doing their part to generate interest in this fight. Roach and Mayweather's constant attacks only serve to increase public demand for this fight. Things are setting up really nice for Mayweather as the perception is that Pac is now the suprerior fighter. Any excuses about size are diminishing as well. For the first time in a long time, Mayweather can come in against a guy that he's expected to lose against. Pac also has the chance to shed the perception that he can't deal with slick fighters and he would also be able to shed any doubts regarding his status as the top fighter in the sport.

    I don't think so. Coto hits harder than may or shane. and plus he is young and very aggresive.
    well just an opinion

    He hits harder than Mayweather, but not as hard as Mosley IMO.

    He is young and aggressive, but has stamina issues and may never be the same after being beaten up and stopped by Margarito.

    Doesnt Roach just mean Floyd is just to lazy to try and make 140? I mean that doesnt nessasarily mean he is lazy in camp or for training... but he may just mean Floyd doesnt care to try and make 140. There is a difference.
