I really wouldn't buy into this at all. A couple weeks ago they interviewed Roach on Boxingtalk and he was saying that they had an Autumn fight planned for Manfredo against Jeff Lacy.

It's all bullshit, he's just throwing Manfredo's name into the mix to give him some kind of credibility, like saying he is in the mix with the best.

I like Manfredo but you just cannot go from being a junior middleweight, to then going back to 5 rounders for a tv show, losing 2 of 6 and only scraping wins in all the others, then getting one win against an old shot fighter who needed to be put out pasture, to then taking on the undisputed best super middleweight in the world.

People, its BULLSHAT!!!
