    When the **** did Pacquiao avoid him? If I remember correctly Pacquiao said he wouldn't mind fighting Mosley.

    If anything, it is Bob Arum who doesn't want Mosley. Dummy.

    Exactly. Funny thing for Roach to say given the circumstances.

    I used to think that Roach was honest. Shane's accomplishments speak for themselves.

    He's overrated? So why didn't Pac and Roach sign to fight Mosley instead of Cotto? Mosley was available for quite awhile before Cotto even fought Clottey.

    Probably the same reason Mayweather made Marquez jump 2 weight divisions instead of fighting Mosley, who was champion in Mayweather's own weight division when he announced his comeback. :good

    Mayweather went after Mosley and was turned down.

    Mayweather asked for 20 million was told no but then given 15 million by Mosleys own promotion to fight Marquez. :lol:

    So he wouldn't take less than 20 to fight Mosley, but would take a lot less than 20 to fight Marquez? :lol:

    20 million to fight Mosley in his first fight back.

    I'd say 20 million is fair considering the threat Mosley is to Mayweather who was coming off 18 months.

    If Roach says Mosley is overrated then Mosley is the fighter Roach considers to be the most dangerous to his fighter, and he is going to avoid him like the plague.

    It tells you something about how good Roach thinks he really is.
