Cotto is Tough For Pacquiao But Winnable, Says Roach

[Pullcounter]

Sounds to me that freddie is laying the foundation for the reasons manny is gonna catch an ass whooping. It doesnt matter cause that is not mannys weight! All the credit in the world to pac for not being scared! Manny u r great my respects! But damn is cotto gonna put it on him. Tell me nuthuggers besides speed tell me what pac has that makes you think he can run through cotto. What besides speed does manny have that shane doesnt. Shane struggled with cotto, so tell me please. It s ok to be a fanatic but please be reasonable. Tell me this how was cottos hand speed with margo and shane. How was his jab againts shane. How did knock down gomez and clottey first , the left jab. How was manny s speed neutralized by morales jab. Now answer me!

funny how people keep going back to the morales fight.

I meant to say Margarito, not Marquez. Which of course was at 147. The 140 lb. guys I was referring to were Torres and Chop Chop, they damaged him and exposed his chin.

He had to get out of the 140 division being big.His chin can be tested but adversity can't.He overcame all of them.Minus margarito which looms with a cloud.


He's a better boxer at 147

are you nuts? 10 lbs makes a huge difference.

Somehow i am rellying alot on this statement towards the fight.You gave me 10lbs of assurance.

look, if you can't beat up someone that weighs 10 lbs less than you, you need to give Roger your boxing equipment so he can pour gasoline on it and throw it in the garbage.

I think Roach is being a **** head by making the comment of Mosley being overrated. Mosley has never been destroyed like Cotto has. He just doesn't want to admit the fact that him and Pacquiao are picking the weak link at 147.

Cotto is gonna get KO'd. I think Cotto isnt in the best physical condition right now while Pac is in the beast mode of his career!!! People disagree with me i think but actually the longer this fight lasts the more i see Pac winning because the wars Cotto has been in lately. Also gotta consider his "suspect" stamine compared to the non ending stamina of Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao

Thats why they're is no excuses.145 is legitimate.

It's incredible that so many people are still questioning what Cotto brings to the ring. First it was Cotto's chin which has looked pretty good in the WW limit and hasn't really been hurt. Not against Mosely, Margarito, or Clottey all which are stong WW. Then it was Cotto's speed. While he may not be the fastest he can find ways to neutralize it as he did to Mosely, and as he did with Judah's and won both those fights. Then it was Cotto's skill which has been improving as he is timing his punches better and being more patient behind the jab, just look at the Mosely and Clottey fight. Pacman is a great fighter and deserves the recognition he has gotten, but to assume that he will roll over Cotto is an ill conceived thought as even Freddie Roach can see that this will be the toughtest fight Manny has had recently.

You are delusional. The quitter Cotto will be lucky to win 1 single round. He is not even on the same league as Pac, not rank Top 7. Pac will make Cotto quit and again and take a knee. Cotto will think about retirment afterwards. As what Nacho Beristain said, He will make Cotto like a garbage fighter

Is that the same Nacho that said De La Hoya was going to beat Pacquiao????
