    I agree~ But I also understand where Roach is comming from any one of these fighters at 147 with Manny is liable to crush manny so badly that they will make it seem like he was a fluke the entire time.

    I think Pacquiao would bust Cotto up, even at 147. Shane is a massive danger, but IMO they should try to get Cotto before the Floyd/Marquez winner.

    True but he also needs to understand that neither are probably wanting to make the mistake of draining too far down.

    Cotto cant make 140 and Mosley would be killing to make 142.

    144/145 would be best at that.

    He took on DLH. If he wants those guys, he needs to fight them at 145+

    The Oscar fight is a HYPED MONEY FIGHT. Oscar was doomed going down at 147.

    If you let Pacquiao fight regular 147 lbers at their peaks , , , he will be out muscled, out powered and will be beaten black and blue.

    , , , accept the fact that Pac is human . . . not an immortal. :deal

    Honestly... I think I'm missing something. When did Cotto or Mosley call Pacquiao out? I know they're interested in the fight (who isn't?) But to say they're the ones after Pacquiao so they have to lose the fight before the weigh in is complete bull****. If I want to see Pacquiao vs Cotto or Mosley, I want to see him against the best Cotto or Mosley available, that's why I watch boxing, to utlimately see the best fight the best. If Cotto or Mosley aren't going to be themselves against Pac, why would I want to see them fight then? And if Pac is at a disadvantage... then don't make the fight. I want to see it because I think Pac is good enough to compete at 147, but if his trainer knows something I don't, maybe the fights just shouldn't be made at all.

    True.

    But Arum was pushing a Cotto fight before hand.

    Doesn't matter to me but truthfully both Mosley and Cotto are bitches.

    Fight each other not Pac.
