    Is this such a big issue? I can't see what Roach is complaining about. All fighters are allowed to add weight after weigh in
    The Marquez issue was bad ..but Floyd won't be over 147 at weigh in because the fight is for the 147 title so I don't understand..

    I'm confused too. When did Roach say anything about his fight night weight?

    Floyd will outweigh Pac by 6lbs max on fight night. Its a non-issue really.

    I honestly think that Floyd will weigh-in more than or atleast 153.

    And when did Roach complained or mention that?

    If the fight is for 147 - it's 147. What you weigh after that on fight night is your business. I don't think Roach was talking about that. The Marquez issue was at the scales.

    But floyd usually stays at 147 does he not after the weign in. Maybe its more to do with mind games on freddys part than actual weight on fight night.

    Christ. This is why FUD gets out all over the place.


    Floyd wants to be able to **** Manny like he did to Marquez. Got that? He wants to be able to come in over 147 on the scales, oops by accident, like against Marquez. We all know it wasn't an accident, as he intended to do this all along. HBO not only allowed this, but they forced it onto a smaller marque fighter and fined Floyd instead forcing him to shed the weight which is customary.

    This is the point.

    The amount of mis-information spread in this forum is ridiculous.

    k smart guy, do your research before posting lies. mayweathers camp already ended the RUMOURS about him wanting wiggle room on the scales. I havent heard any rumours come out of the mayweather camp about pac but soooo much **** has come outta roaches mouth. Freddie seems to be scrambling and trying to get into floyds head, wont work against such a focused fighter...

    Floyd weighed 152lbs against Marquez. I'd expect him to weigh 154 max on fightnight against Pac.

    Pac will weigh 148-149lbs on the night vs Floyd. Floyd's advantage will be so slight as to be almost negligible.

    I'm not one of those ESB drama queen fairys who try and pretend that Cotto was weight-drained because he weighed in ONE POUND less for Pac than Clottey.

    5-6lbs is not much in this fight, it's not an issue and I doubt Roach thinks of it as one.

    As far as I am aware it is Freddie cockroach the Joke Coach Roach that is always looking to get other fighters to come down in weight to face Pacman e.g. Cotto and ODLH. Either fight at the Welterweight limit or chicken out.
