    I agree with Dan, they need to "cut" the catchweight bs.

    Freddie and Arum want 145, Floyd wants the lions share. One of the parties has to give.

    The fight will be at 147 and it will most likely be 50-50. Until then everything thrown out there is just to make people talk and speculate like they enjoy doing...

    You call Mayweather a cherrypicker but the point can be made that so is Pac. Is it not cherrypicking when roach himself said that Hoya could no longer pull the trigger at 154 and they knew he would be shot at 147. Roach also said that Cotto had slowed down and is on the dowside of his career since marge which is why they chose to fight him. Could it be considered cherrypicking when Pacs last 4 opponents were all come forward fighters with little to no head or upper body movement, targets were Pac knew were they would be once he unloaded.

    I am not calling Pac a cherrypicker nor do I think Mayweather is one. We will see how great Pac is when he gets in the ring with Mayweather. By the way, roach knows whats up because once again he opened his mouth and said they will need more time to formulate a gameplan for mayweather. This tells me they know the **** they been doing wont work.
