Roach is looking for the path of least resistance to history. Paper accomplishments. David Diaz at 135, war ridden and drained Cotto at 145 for his title, You'reWho Foreman I mean Yuri Foreman at 154... Give us respectable fights Pac if this is to be your last year.
I agree David Diaz was the easy choice at 135 and that Foreman would be the easy choice at 154 although because of the size disparity, it will be a more difficult fight than many may think. Cotto was not the path of least resistance. No way. That isn't giving Cotto the credit he deserves. Cotto was a legitimate welterweight, a top three welterweight. In regards to the weight, Cotto weighed 145 for his last fight and had no problems making the weight in the actual fight. Also, in terms of a career, Pacquiao has definitely NOT taken the path of least resistance.

To see a good example of a path of least resistance, just go check Mayweather's resume over the last four or five years.

Williams is the wrong fight for Shane. Shane had trouble with Vernon and the same would happen with Williams. He knows that and won't get in the ring with Williams. A Cotto rematch would be a good fight for Shane assuming he gets by Berto. PBF won't fight him or any other legitimate welterweight.
