No. He's not. I would say there's a smaller chance he gets embarassed against Mayweather but there's also a smaller chance he wins

I think Pac is equally ****ed against all 3.

Roach is just tryin to hype **** up early.

[Doc Holliday]

hype. Pac is an easy fight for all three, unless they meet Roach's demand that they fight at 140. Cotto and Mosley have already said they won't do that, and I doubt Floyd will either.

You can call fmj many things but, "LAZY"? Roach is delusional or he is just mad no one will shrink wrap themselves just to fight pacq. The jig is up! The ball is in fmj's court and pacq has to play ball or go home. FMJ has cotto and ssm chumping at the bit to fight him, and they dont even have to fast for a month to meet the weight limit. Go Figure.

What are pacq's options? He dont want jmm again, especially if he gets destroyed by fmj, then again, they may ask him to fight manny 2 months afterwards. This is why they keep barking in the press. Bradley, Ortiz, hey Campbell will take it. But all those guys bring no where near the change that fmj does.

Give fmj and his team much credit. He didn't comeback without options.

roachis an idiot and is getting on my damn nerves talking out of his ass

Roach first said that Cotto is easier because he is a come forward fighter, and that he rather have Pacquiao fight Cotto. Now he says it's Floyd out of nowhere with no fights for Cotto and Floyd in bewteen of his first comment and this new one.

[deanrw]

Roach knows Floyd is not easy. In fact he stated the opposite just a couple weeks ago.

Roach is playing the media. He is trying to attract Floyd into a fight with words, while also making Cotto and Mosley feel like they are not needed, to see if they are willing to cave to his demands more.

I guarantee that in October, Manny will be facing Cotto if Cotto beats Clottey. If Cotto does not beat Clottey, you will see Manny against Shane.

The Floyd fight will not happen until early 2010. It is simply too big of a fight and will need time to build up.
