Trainer Freddie Roach thinks it?s very unlikely for Manny Pacquiao to slide back down to 135 pounds after fighting Oscar dela Hoya at 147 pounds on Dec. 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Roach told yesterday?s PSA Forum through phone patch from his Los Angeles quarters that he sees Pacquiao closing out his checkered career with big fights at the 140-pound division.
The two-time Trainer of the Year said fighting Dela Hoya at 147 pounds, at welterweight, could be a one-shot deal, and that they wouldn?t consider fighting whoever is out there in this class.
