Roach Budges, Says "145" is Good For Pacquiao-Cotto

[5punchcombo]

Same day weigh-in's are too dangerous, though. That's why they are not allowed anymore, although it certainly would help to stop one fighter getting a major advantage over the other.

The number 6 keeps coming up constantly. Interesting. I also said a while back, if Pacquiao can KO Cotto it happens in or around the 6th.

If he cant KO a dehydrated De La Hoya how the hell is he gonna KO Cotto?

THink logically *******s. Cottos power and already adjusted to 147 hes gonna have the speed to time Pacquiao. Whatever De la Hoya brought to the table against manny is nothing not even 5X close to what Cotto is gonna bring

[5punchcombo]

you dont know what the hell is going on. Cotto gets hit way to much to even contend with Pacquiao. this is a mismatch like no other. Cotto is only got a punchers chance and Pacquiao has really improved his footwork and defense.

you know jack **** about either of these fighters.

a tko with the ref stoping the fight!!

[RRICAN]

if it means cotto is gonna be only 160 in the ring instead of 165 , it could make a slight difference.

though i doubt 2-3 lbs. at the weigh in would make much difference.


BUT as a trainer roach has to ask for as much advantage or less disadvantage for his fighter he can.

it's his job.

come on pink we are talking about cotto not paul williams

[Mr. Chago]

Isn't it a WW fight?? Cotto's belt is at stake.

Winner takes on PBF, hope it's Cotto...

[Boxeo_Boricua]

All BS aside though, Pacquiao is gonna beat the living crap out of Cotto. This is one of the easiest bets I'm ever gonna make.

Hahahahaha, you're funny! Let's bet all my points come fight night against yours. God, you made me laigh so hard with that comment

You think Pacquiao can take Cottos power? De la Hoya Backed pacquiao up plenty. Now imagine a slicker faster boxer puncher. pacquiao wont let his hands fly once he gets countered

That 1# is not going to be advantage. Cotto would be exactly the same as if he weighed 146. He loose 1# by taking of his socks and underwear. Why not @ 147 for the belts?

[noroi]

Make it for 147 so Pac can have the chance for Cottos Welterweight belt.

Then again, Pac is NOT a 147lb fighter, but he's so good, he might just beat Cotto.

But, theoretically Pac should not be facing boxers this big.

If this fight was mentioned a year back we would have laughed it off.

I agree with you, and to think a lot of people are acting as if Pac is a natural WW...

[buckdacious]

Yeah right. if you know anything, you know Cotto is clearly not on Pacquiaos level. has no advangtes at all. Pacquiao is faster, more accurate, better footwork, better defense because he wont stand in front of you, the only thing Cottos got is power and body puunching. but body punching and power can only work if you land.
