    If you want the belt, fight at the full weight limit, otherwise shut it.

    I can't figure why the 2 pounds means anything. At my weight, that might just be a nice meal....

    he just contradicted himself when he mentioned Lelo but then was plainly ducking Mosley when asked to fight him at 147 saying we're giving him too many advantages.

    loved how he said PBF was the easiest of the 3.

    I like how it's OK for people with no experience in the sport to come on this forum, have radio or even video talk shows, and say some of the most outlandish, ridiculous ****. But Freddie, a guy who was a professional fighter and has trained god knows how many champions in his day, he needs to "SHUT UP".

    moneywise, who would you have fought...ODLH or Mosley?

    Roach brought up a good point that Mosley is a beatable plan B should Mayweather duck Pacquaio. Of course, Mayweather COULD call out Mosley but what are the chances of that happening?

    and mosley offering to fight pac at 140 just proves that Mosley ain't out for glory, just a final huge paycheck. vice versa with pac fighting ODLH.

    As much as it does seem like Roach is playing the weight game to Manny's advantage, I think it's important to remember at what weight he turned pro at. Pacquiao turned pro at 106 and won his first title at FLYWEIGHT! Oscar turned pro at 133, Shane at 136, Hatton at 138, Cotto at 139, and Floyd at 131. I think it's fair for Freddy to have concerns about his fighter taking on guys that are naturally bigger than him. I think it's become very casual for fans to look at it a certain way because Manny has come up in weight so well. But you would think it's ridiculous for someone like Darchinyan to move up in weight to fight Clottey, but essentially thats what kind of size differences Manny is taking on (not exactly, but you get the idea). I'm not defending the idea of having all of Manny's opponents having to drian weight to fight him to give a stamina, etc advantage. Just making a point as to how impressive his moving up in weight actually has been.

    what pac has done is AMAZING and i don't think anyone discredits that. But to be the best, you have to fight the best, AT their best. if you need a little extra help to even it up, don't fight em.
