    yeah i think size is Roach's main concern....i don't think Pacquaio-Floyd at 140 looks a lot different to it happening at 147....but i think Roach also recognises this as being the most difficult fight to make....i think it is partly a tactic to wind up Floyd into being more compromising at the negotiation table

    doesn't change the fact that PBF competes at 147 and has yet to take on a legitimate threat at that weight. there's nothing that makes anyone but PBF look like a clown for that.

    Judah moved to 147 and was considered a small welter-weight. but it didn't stop him from competing with guys in HIS division (the division he'd chosen to compete in). you're an apologist who's fondness for PBF just won't let you see the forrest for the trees. PBF is competing at 147 against guys who are smaller than him and requiring that they fight at 147. meanwhile, he ignores the breadth of talent that is present at 147 - his true peers, and instead comes out of retirement to fight a super-featherweight? Get real. PBF is fooling nobody.

    He's like Gatti. Gatti can't make 140 and he can't beat real 147 pounders. My guess is that's exactly the position PBF finds himself in.

    Cotto is the "easiest" of the three welterweights always mentioned as possible opponents for Pacquiao.
