    K.

    Can you show me an article where Roach says that Pacquiao will lose if he faces a certain guy? Any guy?

    It's a size and a style thing as to why he'll let Pac fight Hatton.

    Hatton will destroy him though.

    Hatton V Pacman?! Would Manny have a reach advantage on ricky here? It seems a 3yr old has a reach adv. over Ricky:lol:
    But seriously, I think Pac could get hurt

    Pac has 5" arms length advantage over Hatton. Pac will land first for sure.

    I thought it was only about 2 inches?:huh But I know they are the same height, I would think that Hatton could seriously damage Pac, I dont even know why pac wants to go to 140, there is enough business to deal with at 130-135 if he feels like it:deal Hes just going for the money fights.......shame, I thought he was an old school fighter:bart

    When Chico & Castillo was still at Lightweight & one reporter ask Roach if who he thinks will he would like to fight at 135, he suggest Chico instead of Castillo. Roach thinks Castillo is too big for Pac. I guess Roach thinks it's because Chico is Chinny as well as Hatton that's why he agrees with these fights.

    Roach also never recommends Runners & Counterpunchers like Guzrun, Casa & Raheem for Pac. Roach believes Pac is the Best P4P fighter today. He'll Favor Pac against anybody as long as they have the same weight at the weigh-in..

    Except that doesn't account for footspeed and the fact that Hatton is not going to allow Pacquiao the space for that to matter. Or is Pacquiao going to suddenly become a boxer-counter puncher?

    I take it he never saw the exchanges on the inside between Hatton and Castillo where Hatton completely bullied him?

    Can't see how Castillo is too big, but Hatton isn't.....

    Exactly.....point being his perspective is biased and he never picks against Pacquiao. So Roach saying something isn't exactly the gospel. He will always pick Pacquiao.

    BTW, Hatton is bigger than Castillo. And Hatton has been stopped less than Castillo I believe. So that assessment makes little sense.

    Chico would have killed Pac at 135:deal and Hatton will to, Pac will get beat by Diaz at 135 as well, like I said he has unfinished business at 130 (Guzman and Marquez and Valero) before he goes to 135.

    Alot and I mean ALOT needs to happen before a Pac/Hatton fight should even be discussed.
