Roach says "Manny will fight shane at 142 not 147"

This is getting old and everybody has to be catching on to this tactic. Wanting these guys at weights they realistically aren't effective at They haven't been there in years. Roach is very crafty but come on man. Mosley would be an easy victim at 142. He barely makes 147 nowadays in his older age. Like one post said, Roach needs to fight welterweights at welterweight or don't talk about it at all. Pac is nice but don't try to play the public and the boxers. Cutting too much weight is the single worst disadvantage in boxing. It is better to fight bigger buys than to come down too much. Especially at an advanced age. I did that once and you feel like a hollow body. Flat, no strength, weak legs, light headed, etc. I never said anything to my coaches but for the first time before a bout I wanted no parts of fighting. Its terrible. Roach knows Mosley is all wrong for Pac and 142 is the answer. I'd rather Pac just continue his career with the 140 pounders. Cotto and Mosley wouldn't even be formidable opponents at less than 147. Maybe even worse than DLH at 147.
