also, ROACH knows something about mayweather... and when Roach has identified a weakness of the opponent... he knows how to expose them... i believe after training de la hoya for his fight against mayweather, he exactly knows how to defeat him and he was his target all along... this is because, if you look at all the fights that pacquiao has taken... they are all fights that puts mayweather in a position to fight pac... de la hoya, hatton, and the guy that mayweather dodges the most... cotto...its essentially making a statement "i fought who ever u fought and did not want to fight, so come fight me"... with that thought, pac will expose this weakness and has the best chance of putting an L on mayweather's record...
