    Roach comments on when shane mosley first wanted to fight pac and they refused.

    Scroll to 4.30.

    This raises two points.

    1. Pac was clearly cherry picking after Hatton fight and even before it. Especially after the oscar fight which made pac the star he is.

    2. Is this the reason why we will not see pac v marquez 3.

    Pac went from division to division by testing the waters first, you wont know your capabilities if you wont test the waters. Roach probably thought they would be threading dangerous waters too soon and later found out they were much more competitive than expected.

    There's also this one fighter Roach wants Pacquiao to face, this guy is on the p4p list and Roach says his "legs are gone" and Manny will "punch holes in him". What a ***** he is to want to fight that guy after Mosley.

    Mayweather ain't really a dangerous fighter not like mosley, he just a very skilled fighter that can limit your output and make you look silly at times. The danger mayweather presents is giving you a Loss on your record. He ain't exactly gonna hospitalise you.

    Roach feels pac can blitz through him due to floyd's low output.

    But that being said, roach clearly shown their desire to cherry pick pac opponents when it suits them.

    Floyd for years got shitted on for doing this, yet pac get's a pass because he MR Nice :lol:

    easy saying you accept in one interview, much harder putting pen to paper.

    pac didn't accept ****, he would have told roach he could beat him, instead he bottled it and said it to dangerous you right daddy, we will go with cotto and spin it that he the man to beat.

    pac can fight them damn welters one at a time. why not floyd, who was at the weight for several years already when pac moved-up help him clean it? floyd retired when welter was hot. he just fought mosley, meanwhile pac, cotto, margo, mosley, williams, clottey and quintana have been mixing with each other.

    and don't tell me floyd's conquest of jmm and hatton are great welterweight accomplishments. :D

    pac fought clottey, cotto and margo all top rank fighters. What a coincidence :lol:

    Pac closed his eyes to williams and he close his eyes to mosley.

    Only when mosley looking like **** in his last two fights does he accept.

    I would laugh if mosley knocks him out, would teach the cherry picker a lesson.:lol:

    And don't get me wrong I ain't saying pac is the only cherry picker, but it laughable how he gets away with doing it, and when others do it they get called out on it.:deal

    or maybe....

    You just dont understand that Pacquiao makes much more money against Mosley under the TR banner instead of the GBP banner. Have you thought about that? no you didnt keep trying.

    If Pac fought him those days you wont give him the credit he deserve. You'd be..."he fought old mosely instead of a young Cotto! Floyd avoided Cotto and now Pac's doing the same!!"

    and isn't it a coincidence also that he fought mosley when he was a free-agent right? you are using the TR angle when depending floyd but when you bash pac, you can't see the TR-GBP angle, how ironic? :lol:


    and why would you wan't mosley to win? because you and i both know that floyd would never fight pacquiao and you want mosley to do floyd's dirty work.
