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

[GameBullDawg]

COTTO can make 145 easy!!! HE weighed 146 for clottey!! PAC is going to seriously hurt!! This is going to be a treat for COTTO for the hard work! The pitty pat punches from PAC wont affect Cotto! When MC digs to the body and cuts the ring and makes MP fight = MP will get KO!!

Pac will KO COTTO !!!!!!! NO doubt about this one, its gonna be bad for Cotto , real baddddddd !

Cotto fans yall happy now? I'm glad roach made this statement. The crying stops here from now on.

^^ what do you think ??

Damn, Cotto look like Marc Anthony at 140 LOL!!

[GameBullDawg]

Please dont use Hatton and Cotto in the same sentence...

thats like compareing water to acid...one just sits there and the other burns through ****...lloll

YORE gonna see Cotto OWNED !!!!!!

[Dave Rado]

I absolutely agree!!! But a lot of people here are always forgetting that Pac is not a natural Welterweight, Light Welterweight, he is not even a natural Lightweight....... Very sad

He is now a natural Jnr Welterweight. He was the first Jnr Welterweight Hatton has ever faced who looked stronger than Hatton in the ring. Where he started is irrelevant, he has become a natural Jnr Welterweight. Roach also says he believes he is a natural Jnr Welterweight now.

dont underestimate pacs power. speed is power. you honestly tell me if lands thesame blow he did to hatton on cotto he is not going down.

ssm hits harder than pac

Good point but Cotto wouldnt go at Pac with that type of agression. Cotto would not take those type of chances with a fighter that can hurt him, just like in the Mosley fight. Cotto will try to box more like he does in his big fights but that is not the right game plan. I'll admit if he does come forward with shots to the body like as if he comes to destroy he has a good chance to win.

It's not a matter of being a fan of one fighter or the other. Most of the Pinoy fans on these forums have also said they want Pac to fight Cotto at 147 for the sake of his legacy, and that they certainly don't want the fight to be at 143. It's great the Roach has said this now, though. 147 would still be a lot better legacy-wise, but 145 is okay because Cotto said he thinks he can make 145 without being weight drained, but not anything below that.
