Yeah, I'd love to see that happen. But it could just end up being a power struggle if Cotto is too stubborn about running his entire camp. I think he should definitely consider it. Roach had nothing good to say about DLH and Hatton after Manny beat them but he admitted that Manny had to make adjustments during the Cotto fight because he started out fighting faster and smarter than he expected.
no one knows what they were arguing about, this bitching and conspiracy theorizing about cotto's weight is premature...it's likely roach w/ his mouth will eventually tell a reporter what pissed him off.
whoever started it shouldn't have started shit during the weigh in if it had nothing to do with the weights, the crowd was kindda nasty enough already.
im just going off what was shown on 24/7.
yeah that's not a good idea. cotto's training camp wasn't as accessible to hbo as pac's. they couldn't even show video of cotto sparring.
cotto was probably just uncomfortable because of his personality (withdrawn)
whereas manny is an entertainer in the phils. so he's used to promoting his various activities
Dont look too far into a victory concert where he will perform? How can anyone not sir..
i know it's weird...i mean what if he ends up in the hospital after the fight. at least he just said concert not victory concert
now i understand why some floyd fans make it their life's mission to trash talk any and all of his possible opponents. it's because floyd does such a bad job of it himself.
who cares! this isnt the days of our lives! i dont watch pacquiao for his moral uprightness!
no kidding. people need to stop making actors/athletes/etc. as role models for anything other than what they do well in their profession. everyone has big flaws, rich or poor, famous or nobody. it's just the same in the US, the economy sucks, people are still losing jobs and the news that was considered most frontpage-worthy for 2-3 weeks was letterman's sexcapades lol.
What a huge waste of talent if he doesn't get a new trainer. He can have the best trainer and still not improve his game if he's too stubborn, but at the very least he needs someone who knows when it's time to throw the towel for his own health...
Didn't Roach give a similar prediction for the Cotto fight before training camp? If Pac surpasses his expectations during training he might start making noise about a 1st round KO again.
SD- What challenges does Miguel present for Manny?
FR- Well you know his size and strength are a problem. He is very big. He nullified Shane Mosley’s speed. He is a very intelligent fighter. Anyone that says this is an easy fight is a fool. This is the hardest fight of our life. I believe that 100%. I don’t think we can win by knock out this time. I think we will win via a decision. This guy is a game, tough guy. He has already been in camp for three weeks. If he wins this fight everything bad that has happened in his career goes away. This is the fight of his life. Anyone that expects anything different would be a fool.
