Cotto is Tough For Pacquiao But Winnable, Says Roach

[QUOTE=biglou88;5600905]

It doesn't matter how big Cotto is. Style make fights and Cotto never faced a boxer like Pacman before. He was having a hard time against Judah until the mid and later rounds.[/


Cotto is a better fighter since Corley and Judah he may not have the speed but he has good timing, power and way better defense than Hatton he's not gonna run into his punches like the hitman did he's gonna take his time find openings and land his shots. You say Cotto never face a boxer like Pacman well Pacman has never faced anyone as strong as Cotto. Pacman is good but he is not superman he will get hit and it will hurt.

Forget Cotto's power, I think Pacquiao will KO Cotto because of his speed and Cotto's lack of defense.

Let me get this straight, if the judges gave the fight a draw or to Mosley then Mosley would be better than Cotto even in a close fight that could have gone either way?

The fight was so close i wouldn't say Mosley was better than Cotto even if Mosley won. A rematch is the best way to settle who is the better fighter between Mosley and Cotto.

That will soon come my friend, it will be sometime in 2010

You won't be an up-and-comer for long if you keep this up...

Stop threatening and keep up the good posts.

no matter if you are a Cotto fan or a Pacman fan this will be one for the history books.It should be as good as it gets with the #1 p4p king and the best welter today.I am a Cotto fan so of course i am rooting for him ( i think he wins in a easy way) but if Pac man wins there should be no excuses.Everyone keep making excuses for the pacman wins like ODLH was past his prime and now Hatton was overrated ( I agree with this one)If Pacman beats Cotto he should get no excuses from the Cotto fans but When Cotto beats him I dont want to hear the excuses about Cotto beating the smaller guy,They both should get their credit if they win.At the end of the day it will be a great day for boxing.

Good Post!!!

the old cotto needs to be back to win this fight. not this confused 'should i box or trade' cotto. someone should tell him that he does not look good fighting on the backfoot.

Im sure he knows that, he just doesnt think that maybe Plan B or C will work wit the fighter, maybe its the better way in his mind.

So Roach says Mosley is way overrated even though Mosley just knocked out a guy that Roach has said he would NEVER let Manny fight? Let's face it, Cotto has been vulnerable lately and Roach knows Manny can knock him out but you can't really say that Cotto is better than Mosley at this point. Yes cotto beat him 7 rounds to 5 a few years ago, but Cotto doesn't want a rematch and we all know their two careers have been going in drastically different directions since that fight

One year we wouldn't have even considered this fight. Pacquiao has a good chance of winning, but Cotto is neither a drained DLH nor a brawl-brawl-hold Hatton.
