Did Roach decline a Manny vs Mosley fight?

What were his comments?

 

Mosley too good
Mosley doesn't bring in enough PPV sales
^
I know, I know, he used a Floyd Mayweather excuse

Then when his pupil fought the Mosley alternative it ended up selling less than Mosley's most recent fight.:rofl

 

he also wanted mosley to drain himself, like 142 or something

 

Manny fought Cotto who beat mosley:good

 

and then the guy who lost to cotto...which makes your point, pointless

 

:rofl

 

This was shortly after Pac jumped to welterweight. He was even smaller back then and no one was thinking of putting him in with a huge welter like Mosley.

 

would you consider that a form of ducking?:think

 

pac ducked SSM

 

Yes. Roach felt Mosley was too dangerous for Pacquiao. I think he had a point.

 

He said it, but I did not take him literally. I think they were going with Cotto already when Mosley came in with the "I'll fight you @ 140." I also remember Roach said Manny would never fight Margarito, and now talks are on. Early on with their welterweight run Roach was very protective of who he'd fight and did not seem to hide it.................I take what Roach said as seriously as Floyd Sr's. recent comments where he sounds like regardless of testing protocal he does'nt want Floyd facing Pac.

 

Mosely said to Roach "You fought Oscar at 147"..........Roach said to Mosely "Your not Oscar"......They didn't want any parts of Mosely.....and at that time........ no one blamed them.

 

"shane mosely with 5 loses?"

oops wrong quote

 

This.

 

Unfortunately for pac, because i know he is a warrior, THATS CALLED DUCKING.
