    In an overseas telephone conversation with www.insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports, trainer Freddie Roach said: “I agree with Manny about wanting to fight Mayweather Jr., that’s the easiest fight out there. Among the top guys, that’s the easiest fight.”

    I don't. It's not a certainty but I wouldn't rule it out at all.

    Sure it is. Tell Roach to bring it on and PBF will give his fighter a boxing lesson of a lifetime. If he thought JMM was bad he ain't seen **** yet.:deal

    Hahaha, you know who I think would be the easiest fight in the world right now for David Haye, a prime Ali! I like Freddie but he can't be serious unless he figures the weight of Cotto/Mosley would be too much for Pac, it's the only way a comment like that makes sense (it's an obvious pre-fight dig).

    He may be right due to styles. Fighting a ***** like Cotto would be tuff because Cotto is gonna try his head off...

    while Mayweather would just pot shot and dance. And shoulder roll in a corner while Pac is like 20 feet away..

    This would be an awesome fight. Anyone who thinks Floyd will give Pac a lesson is tripping. Pac has proved he is one of the most disciplined (if not THE) boxers in the sport, in executing the gameplan.

    Roach predicted the DLH and Hatton fights almost exactly. I'm not going to doubt Roach or Pac anymore... it's not worth it!!!

    Bull****. Cotto is the easiest. That chinny no defesne having mother****er would get koed with the first big shot he doesn't see.:deal PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Pac and anyone who knows boxing can see it.:deal

    Executing his gamepaln with fighters who are there to be hit. Against boxers like JMM he has big problems against PBF who is better he'll have hell making any adjustments. When his balls to the walls approach doesn't work against PBF then what? Do you actually think he can outbox or out think PBF???:lol:

    Exactly and that will be the difference in the fight. Betting on a guy to get koed who has never been really hurt knocked down or stopped is dumb especially if the guy is a master defensive fighter to boot. Defense is the most underrrated thing in boxing and the first thing anyone who fights PBF will tell you is that he's a hard guy to hit cleanly. If need be PBF could stick and move or pot shot on Pac all night and there's little he can do to stop it. PBF by UD is the smart pick here:deal
