I was listening to the Murph and Mac show on the radio and they spoke to Chris Mannix of Cnnsi and he said he spoke to Roach for about 30 minutes yesterday and asked him a few questions. Here is what Roach said basically:
He was asked if there were more distractions than usual for this camp
Roach: I would have liked for Manny to just trained at Wildcard gym but the camp was not wasted in the Philippines. He has never seen Pacquiao this focused and ready for a fight. He only said they wasted about a week though when Pacquiao had to talk to politicians and all that.
He was then asked if Cotto was any different from DLH/Hatton
Roach: Cotto is definitely a shot fighter. His reflexes and speed and ability to punch and be punched is not the same. It hasn't been the same since the Margarito fight. We really believe we will score an early knockout on him.
Mannix said there was no BS in Roach he was completely serious about the early knockout.
anyway it isn't word for word but still interesting
what i find funny...is all the people who are riding pacs nuts. when roach just openly admited, the reason why he had pac fight dlh, hatton, and now Cotto. is because he only wants to fight guys who are shot... they called out the wrong guy this time, b/c cotto isnt shot
Pac is nothing but hype and a loser. roach dont want him in the ring with viable fighters. only shot ones... this is the most pathetic team in boxing
:pat:
silly me!!! i thought this whole time, pac fought those fights b/c they were big money fights!
stop being stupid man...these arent mind games. Roach actaully feels cotto is SHOT. just like he felt and knew Hatton and DLH were.
and all this has done is tarnish pac's legacy b.c he wont fight healthy fighters.
hes career will be known for fighting shot fighters. dude will not be an ATG.
they are lame.
Flomo alert!!!! ^^^^ Flomo alert!!!! ^^^^^ Flomo alert!!!!!

bump this thread sunday morning, after the fight's over and cotto goes down in the fifth.

its just mindgames... i dunno why you guys take this so seriously
He said this in a interview. I don't see how he would use this to get in his head. The guy asked him why he was so confident in this fight he said because cotto is shot
Word gets around.
Gotta love Roach's trash talking, calling Cotto a shot fighter!
If Cotto believes that even a little it will be an advantage for Pac, You cannot question yourself against the Pacman. Mind games. Roach is the shit.

c'mon... roach is clearly using rhetoric to get in team cotto's head. that's the only reason why he is saying what he says. its all mind games... apparently its working on you
He said DLH couldn't pull the trigger, he called that one right. We'll see though. I'm hoping hes wrong
Roach learned this game from a true boxing master....Eddie Futch!.....Roach has seen ALOT in this sport......Roach has more boxing knowledge and boxing sense than any dude who posts here probably!!....so if Roach says Cotto is shot......it may be true!!.....It's his job to study Manny's opponents......I would trust his word!!.....with that said I got Cotto still but you can't help but wonder!!
Normally I do trust Freddie's word, but not this time. It's just mind games on the day of the weigh-in. He's trying to put doubt in Cotto's mind.

wait wait something is wrong here.. so basically OP didnt hear Roach said Cotto is shot? he just heard it from Chris Mannix?
lol. I aint trusting the source.
Im only gonna believe this if I heard Roach said it himself.
Roach said he is shot, I'd believe Roach before I believe someone who posts on a msg board.

do you say that because he lost his 0. or because of the way he was beaten?
do you feel that every fighter changes mentally after the first ko loss?
after a KO loss that brutal, It'd be strange for a fighter not to change. He seems nervous in the later rounds like he doesn't have confidence in himself or his stamina. The only shot thing about Cotto is his confidence.
there is some truth to what roach says. oscar couldn't pull the trigger. hatton was not as good as his record. cotto has not looked great after margarito. but roach goes overboard. it is disrespectful to call cotto shot
that woman in your av is fine ART homie
but yeah, freddie just talking. He confident in his fighter, and at the same time, trying to play mind games on Cotto.
Cotto isn't shot but, mentally he isn't the same fighter he once was before the margarito fight.
cotto is not shot... the only difference mentally is that cotto knows he's not invincible anymore... that's a good thing not a bad thing
Cotto isn't shot but, mentally he isn't the same fighter he once was before the margarito fight.
