Pacquiao: "Cotto body punches were NOTHING. But Margarito body punches HURT A LOT."

Trainer Freddie Roach, who has been with Pacquiao since 2001, put it more succinctly. “This is the best camp we’ve ever had,” he said. No one had to tell Pacquiao to make this the best camp he’s ever had. He just did it. Why? Two possible reasons: One, he was in good but not great shape going into the Margarito fight, which he won handily but took punishment he might’ve avoided had he been 100 percent. And, two, he believes Mosley is a threat. Ariza pointed to Margarito. “I don’t think he was happy about the Margarito fight, taking punches he probably felt he shouldn’t have taken,” he said. “Manny said when he fought (Miguel) Cotto that Cotto hit him with his best shots to the body and all over and didn’t feel them. He said, ‘Against Margarito, I felt almost everything.' “This time, he took the initiative. He said, “I want to get bigger and stronger.’ I think he’s taking Mosley seriously. I don’t think he took Margarito very seriously.” http://ringtv.craveonline.com/blog/166179-pacquiao-in-prime-condition-this-time
