    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

    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.

    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.
