Cotto is Tough For Pacquiao But Winnable, Says Roach

[AndyShitHot]

Since Mayweather wants no piece of Mosley or Cotto, i'd rather Pacman win. Because he would fight either Mosley/Cotto/Mayweather, where as Mayweather will fight Pacman and that's it.

What so we should give the cherry picking lord almighty Floyd Mayweather exactly what he wants?

PAC has a real good chance of winning IMO. Cotto will need to ko PAC early cause cotto tends to tire by the later rounds and PAC will pressure all night. Also cotto doesn't have the straight right punch that Marquez had to keep PAC off him. I think PAC wins by decision.

mosley would be a tougher fight no doubt. he has ****m richardson hes a master at taking away whatever it is you do best. he will put together a master gameplan and shane got the skills to perform it. the way shane throws his hooks if he lands i dont give a **** what weight your at your going to sleep. look at vargas, mayorga, margarito even in the cotto fight he would hit cotto with the right hook right on the temple thats what had cotto dancing away the last few rounds. either one would be good but dont sleep on shane hes a first ballot hall of famer no doubt about it. he has speed and he boxes but hes ko artist too. people forget that hes not overrated no way.

Yeah, also with the help of steroids....

I think cotto is made for pac. Hes not amazing defensively, and he'll get hit by someone with pacs speed. Not only that but he'll come forward into pac, which is exactly how he beat the crap of hatton. What southpaws has cotto faced? Chop-Chop gave him a lot of trouble and had nightmares with Judah before he did his traditional thing of bitching out.

On the other hand roach doesnt sound NEARLY as sure about this as he did about Hatton and DLH. With those guys he was predicting the round, this time he's not even solidly predicting a win

I never thought Roach would say such bull****......I respect this dude to the up most.......but to say Shane is "OVERRATED" is crazy........Buster Douglass beat Tyson so I guess he's a better boxer than Mike.......Sam Peter beat James Toney so I guess Peter is the better boxer........Cotto beat Shane so he's the better boxer?!?..........Shane HURT and STOPPED Mr. Unhurtable and Mr. Unstoppable aka Margarito.......the same cat that Cotto couldn't!!!.......so Roach's logic is bull**** and he's too boxing intelligent to beleive that ****.......he's just tryin' to sale the fight to the peeps who FEEL Mosley should've gotten this dance.......and those are the HARDCORE fans who KNOWS Cotto is a left handed dominant fighter just like DLH and Hatton was........these dudes are NATURAL left handers who fight in the conventional stance.........Cotto being the stronger of the 3 will create the MOST problems......but basiclly Cotto is just a bigger stronger and more athletic version of DLH and Hatton........Roach KNOWS this just like SOME of us......not ALL......because MOST of the peeps here bought that bull**** that "MOSLEY IS OVERRATED!!!!" ........I was hopin' Manny did well.......but now I wanna see Cotto do him dirty......REAL dirty!!!

i kn all the blacks and rican haters want cotto to lost but ill be rubbing it in all your faces when cotto ko's pac

Maybe we are rootin for Pac cuz he's basically 8 divisions smaller than Cotto who is a 145 tough skilled strong puncher who had never been really outboxed(margo didn't at all,Clottey didn't really altough Cotto was bleedin to death).

Cotto destroyed Judah and Corley,he's a bad match up for a fast southpaw.

In conclusion,Pac,former FW champ baby, has ****in steel balls.

I'm sure you root for Floyd Mayweather.Floyd is a *****,and even if,like Manny,he's faster than Cotto,he'll never face a war machin like this boricua.

We are rootin for lil big dude cuz he's for real,Mayweather isn't.

A GUY WHO ISN'T A PACMAN FAN ISN'T A BOXIN FAN.

How can you root for Cotto??I guess you're black or boricua lookin at your ***** bitchin bitter complainin comment.

Biased as **** hopin that a an humble small man like Manny will get koed.

You're a *** and a *** with no respect,no heart.

PAC IS AWESOME!

I think Pacman is great but I still tihink he is too small for Cotto for some reason I just can't see pacman winning this fight.

[SceneSpectator!]

Many still believes that Cotto being in WW as his natural weight would win against Pacman.. well, this is not new actually. Pre-Pacman-Diaz fight, many casted their doubts that PAcman would win because he just came from south as lighter as flyweight. But when he demolished Diaz, JMM saw that LW stars could be beatable by SFW's, and only that time he dared challenging another LW star Joel Casamayor then LW champ Juan Diaz. Only that time many criticized Pacman of beating the weakest among the LW champs.

On the other hand Pacman had accepted the challenged from ODLH. Though within WW catchweight at 145, again he was the first among his rivals at LW to stepped up far north to face the stars at the WW, that neither HAtton who was the best in 140 at that time cowered facing ODLH. Most of the fans wasn't convinced that Pacman would win because many of them believes he left behind his power in the LW. But when he displayed his stunning skills and power in enbarrassing ODLH by retiring him helplessly in his corner stool, people again came to say he was just overdrained and old and he was just then a part time fighter. People easily forgot their pre fight comments by belittling Pacman. Even Hatton came to the open to say he would KOed ODLH earlier and better than Pac did.

Against Hatton, although Pacman then was the favorite, still many are doubters that Pacman would win for the very reason that Hatton was undefeated at his natural weight JWW! Pacman silenced his critics again this time, but just momentarily.

Because as usual, many casted their doubts again that PAcman would win in his fight with Cotto! Well, Pacman is used to this, and he is not affected. I am just wondering what advantage Cotto have against Pacman when in fact their size difference is just a half inch in favor of Cotto. And they have the same reach. Cotto is fast? so through with Pac. Cotto is stronger? they said that again and again before beginning from David Diaz to ODLH, and to Hatton but we saw the opposites instead. They were weightdrained and olds? so through to Cotto when he would be beatin' by Pac in the same passions as he did to ODLH and to Hatton.

Basing on their recent fights, I favored Pacman to win most probably within 9 rounds, and I expect for excuses to flood follows!

"Shane HURT and STOPPED Mr. Unhurtable and Mr. Unstoppable aka Margarito"
We'll never know,but I think Margo was loaded whe he faced Cotto,his punches didn't look so powerfull but were doin so much bloody damages.
That was so suspect,we were askin ourselves with my dudes if Margo was loaded,just after this fight...After happened the plaster story...

"Buster Douglass beat Tyson so I guess he's a better boxer than Mike......."
No,but it's an upset.
In Shane's case,Winky twice,Forrest twice,Cotto once,(Oscar once).It's 5(or 6) upsets.lol
Plus the roids controversy.
It's enough to call the dude "not so sugar".I disagree with his P4P actual ranking.So in a way you can arguably he's overated.
But Shane is awesome,and yes he can beat Pacquiao,Shane could be too powerfull,too long arms for Pac...

cotto's a top WW now but if Pac beat him people would say "cotto's shot, leftover or cotto's not the same as before".
