Manny Pacquiao vs Yuri Foreman before Floyd Mayweather:

Negotiations to make the fight are under way, but Roach has accused Mayweather's camp of dragging their heels and is weighing up the option of first pitting Pacquiao against Foreman, the Israeli who currently holds the WBA light-middleweight belt.

"We want to fight in March and we don't really want to wait," Roach said. "Mayweather doesn't want to fight in March, so we might fight for the 154 pound title in March and move up for that eighth world title.

"I'm thinking about that still and it's something that I'm kicking around in my head right now.

"Yuri Foreman might be the opponent. It is a possibility, and then Mayweather in September. If they guarantee me that, we'll do that, but I need more of a commitment from Mayweather because he's not negotiating too well.

Mayweather can’t fight until September?! What a coward.

The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run. Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering BROCKLESNAR; to the last I grapple with thee.

Mauricio Shogun Rua #1 LHW in the World. The TRUE Champion.

Why put Pac at any kind of risk, or risk him not being as sharp against Mayweather, I don't understand.

If you watched Yuri’s last fight I think you’ll agree it’s no risk.

8 weight classes? If he wins, this is just rediculous. Although you could just consolidate that into like four weight classes and have that much more talent fighting for each title.
