Freddie Roach: “Cotto, Floyd, or Mosley next for Pacquiao”
The Legendary Freddie Roach was in studio this weekend on ESPN2's "Friday Night Fights" and commented on his thoughts as to who he thinks Manny Pacquiao will face in his next fight.
“Cotto, Floyd, or Mosley,” Freddie Roach replied when asked by ESPN2’s Brian Kenny who pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao would fight next. “I think it will be one of those three, and really it will probably come down to who is the easiest to deal with at the negotiating table. All three of them are good fights, and I’d like to see us fight either one of them at a catch weight of 143 or 144 pounds. My guy is the champion at 140 pounds and all of those guys are welterweights so I’d like to see a catch weight to even the playing field a little bit.” Roach was candid in studio when being questioned by Kenny and as is his trademark he pulled no punches. In a later segment Roach answered a question from a fan asking how Pacquiao would approach a possible Mayweather fight. “Floyd’s shoulder roll wouldn’t work against Manny. If he wants to lay on the rope we’d love that. Manny will go to his body and Floyd will be broken down,” Roach stated.
