    "We'll pressure Mayweather. If he lays on the ropes with Pacquiao we'll beat the **** out of him on the ropes. He's not getting away with rolling the shoulders and so forth. We'll use our strength and out speed to deal with him. I know he's fast also. But I think we go the upper hand on speed and I think we're a more powerful puncher. The only concern right now is the weight. I don't think we're going to fight at 147. Possibly, though. I'd like to fight at a catch weight of 143-144." - Freddie Roach

    he should just put in the contract that X and B fighter should not weigh over 150 pounds. Are they allowed to do that?

    Roach has turned into the biggest trash talking trainer in the sport lately, imo he just wants to taunt PBF into a fight like Hatton did.

    PBF will not fight with his back against the ropes. I think he will try to use his size and bully Pac against the ropes.

    People were claiming that Roach would say stuff like this just to promote the De La Hoya fight. I have to disagree, it seems pretty clear at this point that Freddie Roach believes everything he says.

    I like how Roach says "we're faster and we're more powerful". No Freddie, its Pacquiao throwing the punches not you.

    People should know by now that the reason why roach is talking all this crap is because he is baiting PBF to come back and fight pac.

    Pac ain't a trash talker so we should be thankifull to roach coz he might lure one of the best boxer in our generation to come back.

    Why should we know that? Roach was saying exactly the same **** to Oscar and then they whipped his ass.

    I like Freddie, he's kind of crazy and odd and he makes for good countdown shows like either Mayweather Sr. or Unca Roger. Mayweather-Pacquiao would make for a great 24/7 and an even better fight. I'm going with a Floyd UD, Mayweather will know how to use his size to his advantage and despite what Roach says I believe Mayweather to be faster and stronger.

    Pac would challenge PBF but I just don't see him winning it would be a good fight though.

    this is going to be a train wreck for pac and i dont think roach really thinks hes going to beat mayweather....

    Pac is the man, no doubt... i love the guy, but people are putting impossible expectations on him. Hes an ATG and all that.... but come on roach, he didnt truly seperate himself from JMM with two tries and now hes going to beat mayweather because hes going to apply pressure and hes fast?

    Mayweather will win and win in style....

    So if he's faster and stronger why is Roach scared of having the fight at 147? Manny's already shown he can fight "the perfect fight" at Welterweight, is he just hoping that Mayweather will drain himself like Oscar did? I don't think it would work; Mayweather fights at like 147-149 on fight night so it's not like he's going to be dehydrated.
