Pacquiao's Fast Pace Will Wear Cotto Down, Says Roach

[gopi11]

I wonder whats going to be roachs plan when Pacquiao get hit with the strongest punches he has ever encountered. Pac will get hit, Cotto is Very ring smart and knows how to handle speed...

Like every fast opponent Cotto fought and defeated is at par with Pac's speed? GTFO!

I'm just tired of everyone thinking that pacman is invincible and cotto don't have a chance. Look at pacman's face after morales 1 fight? MORALES ! Cotto is way faster, better jab, stronger, etc, etc than morales and morales tore up pacman's face. PEOPLE WAKE UP !

manny got cut from a headbutt in morales 1......
manny has become bigger since then.
he's been sparring with welters for his diaz fyt and against some jrmw for his oscar fyt.
manny has tasted heavy punches during sparrings, that's why roach has strong belief on manny.

you didn't see how manny, in the ropes, absorbed hatton's 5-6 combo punches in the belly early in rd-2.

agreed but some people still seem to fail to understand that pac was a one handed fighter back then and has been improving in every fight

No but what I'm sayin is that Manny hasn't done anything that someone else hasn't already done. So why do you guys give him greatness because he is not a great fighter, just a hyped up Top Rank fighter.

sports mags, boxing critiques and sports/boxing scribes are the ones who categorized manny as a great fyter....his fans are just riding high on that!!
one great thing he has done is manny fought in 10 divisions!!
a 7th belt in as many divisions will solidify his status as an all time great.

Answer this: If Pac lands the same punch he did on Hatton do you think Cotto will not hurt?

Remember were only talking here about the effect of Pac punches nothing else.

of course cotto will hurt, just like david and oscar got hurt and got cuts!!
cotto's face will be mangled and bloody after 6 rounds....manny's fists have developed some razors.....
that is if cotto is still on his feet by 6 rounds.

No one has ever put Cotto on his a$$ with just one punch,Margarito Clottey and Mosley were hitting Cotto flush to his head with no Knockdown and those guys are all much stronger then Paq,

have u heard of the saying: "there is always the first time for everything"
manny have been KOd 2x, had been fyting bigger and bigger opponents.

people first think and believe that all of manny's foes are stronger than manny.
this is nothing new....from diaz to oscar to ricky.....now cotto!
but roach strongly believes in manny's strength since then.
we'll see about this come fyt nyt.......

I think with Manny's muscle build he won't be affected as much as some might think with the weigh issue. He's a solid guy with TONS of power and SPEED.

I think Cotto fans are underestimating what this guy brings to the table. I have said that Manny will be an ATG and this fight will propel him to that level.

I see him moving and pot shotting Cotto early on and then getting into a groove and possibly ending the fight on cuts or a late stoppage.

Well guys, as scary as it sounds, I dont like when damn Roach open his mouth for a prediction, I still haven't seen the guy miss one yet. And when that joker stars analysing, some **** is going down(Hatton vs Pac). I am rooting for Cotto, but I dont think he will make it....just my opinion.

I agree with you, people keep saying that "Manny is the smaller guy", I really dont think so. Ok, He is fighting a welterweight, that doesn't mean anything compared to the way he has being handling the bigger opponents that he had fought already. The best will win, and I see Pac dominating Cotto in the late rounds.
