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

[ElTerribleMorales]

Cotto at 144. Is that a true catchweight?

Let's assume Roach feels Manny isn't big enough to fight the big guys at 147. The question I have is rather than fight Mosely or Cotto at catchweights, would you prefer Manny fight Juan Diaz or Nate Campbell or other fighters at 135-140? Obviously, if Juan Manual Marquez wins, it is logical that he should be the next fight. But, that ain't happening.

thing is if Manny wants to play the gimmick that weight classes don't matter, and that he can beat the bigger man no matter the size difference, Roach needs to stop trying to get fighters to dehydrate down to fight Manny, he knows Cotto and Mosley would be too much at 147, and honestly Manny needs Mosley not the other way around, Mosley's legacy is set, Manny's is close, but if he want's to make the claim of beating the best, it should be by beating the best at their best, not when they're weight drained like DLH, or how he wants to take on Cotto or Mosley, if it's just 3 pounds, well Manny should be able to pack em on easy

Maybe in legacy, but that is an argument for another day. In terms of pay day potential, Mosely needs Manny. Other than in his fight with Margarito, has Mosely ever sold a lot of tickets?

He beat Hatton, the best at 140, at his weight, which is more than PBF can say who also claims he is the best.
