    “Mayweather beat the best lightweight in the world,” said top trainer Freddie Roach, who didn’t even bother to watch the 12-round bout on pay-per-view, insisting that he knew what was going to happen.
    “That’s exactly what happened,” said Roach, referring to the lopsided victory posted by Mayweather over the relatively smaller and much slower Mexican.
    “He was 158 (or even) 160 lbs) stressing that even if Mayweather was three divisions heavier, “he couldn’t knock Marquez out.”

    All true.

    If it was any other top welter (Mosley,Cotto,Clottey,Berto) JMM probably wouldnt last six rounds .

    PBF wasn't 160. Only a delusional fool would believe that. Roach is mad because PBF schooled a guy that Pac went life and death with and he knows PBF is a stylistic nightmare for his fighter.

    Yes, agreed.

    Tho Im not sure Roach believes Floyd would beat Manny, which is kinda strange because Roach is an intelligent guy who seems to know his stuff, you`d think he would know Floyd would slice Pac up... Roach overrates Manny big time, almost as bad as the pacfucs on ESB.

    Its gonna be a right good laugh when Mayweather teaches Pac a lesson in pure boxing, Roach`s post fight interview will be hilarious.

    I agree with everything, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was close to 160, or in the high 150's. He looked GOOD physically in the ring, maybe the best I've seen him at that weight so far.
