Trainer Freddie Roach is not buying all of the talk about Shane Mosley being an easy fight for WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. He says Mosley could be a tough fight for his boxer. Mosley, a three division champion, is the frontrunner to face Pacquiao on April 16 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
“I think Mosley could be a tough fight. Last year when he beat Margarito, everyone thought he was the greatest thing. Now after the Mayweather fight, they think he’s nothing. I think Shane is a very tough guy. We never take any fight lightly. I think Shane’s going to train very hard for the fight and if he’s the guy we’re fighting, we’ll be ready,” Roach told BoxingScene.com.
