It would be out of character for Pac to fight Floyd

    His biggest wins:

    Cotto - 2-1, could be 1-2 (clottey), in his 3 fights prior
    Hatton 2-1
    Oscar 3-3
    Barrera 2-1 in 3 fights prior, coming off immediate loss to JMM
    Morales, lost to Barrera in fight prior to beating pac, lost to Raheem immediately after beating and prior to losing to Pac
    Larios 2-1 coming off TKO to vasquez


    Say what you will, but these are the facts. He has been strategically placed in his fights and Roach himself does not deny this. For those of you who call Floyd a cherry picker, need to re-examine the facts. Its not surprising to me that Pac has not signed yet.


    I hope he signs the contract, I want to go to Vegas.

    The fight will be signed because both men know full well that they will make far more money against each other than against anyone else out there.

    This would also be the first black fighter(and the second overall) that Pac would have face since Ledwaba. After failing to fight Guzman, Raheem, Campbell, and Mosley, Pac has taken some undeserved criticism for allegedy avoiding black fighters(I personally feel he was steered clear of certain styles). He can make up for that with the Mayweather fight.

    Who else was he supposed to fight and do you actually think he ducked anybody?

    Do you think he has a good chance to win?

    What's funny is Roach really doesn't deny it! LOL He said, "we thought you were done Morales"....basically saying he thought Morales was shot going into the first fight and said they wouldn't make the same mistake again.

    ODLH: "Oscar can't pull the trigger anymore"

    Hatton: "I think the Mayweather fight took a lot out of Hatton"

    Cotto" "I think he's (Cotto) on the slide"

    -Joke Coach Roach

    He has an outside shot at winning IMO.

    Roach has made no denials in the past about avoiding certain styles as well. Mayweather is not the style he wants Pacman to fight, but he know it would be a good time to cash Pac out now, for so much money.

    Guzman and Sanchez are both Dominican and black.

    I don't know what your problem is. The criticism is out there. That's the truth. I said it was undeserved and untrue. That still doesn't mean the cricism isn't out there. It's not the same as saying Floyd hasn't fought any asian fighters either. Manny's camp has actually passed over numberous black fighters(again, I don't believe it had anything to do with race). The same can't be said about Floyd in regards to Asians. In fact, you could make a better argument that Floyd has avoided other black fighters than you can that he's avoided any Asian fighters.

    Likewise. Guzman and Raheem would of likely posed the Pacquiao of old major problems with their slickness and counter-punching.

    Like i said the guy fought the best(other than 135) its not his problem that the best werent black.

    Now he has a chance to fight a great black fighter fraud or Mosley and if he doesnt then you and the rest of the clowns have a a legitimate claim about him not fighting the best black fighters.

    Fighters like that cause anyone problems not just Pac.
