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

[gopi11]

Manny's speed is top notch but the guys that tired out Cotto was because Cotto was back peddling and throwing sick a$$ combos the entire time and he was connecting consistantly. Manny's beard is what has to hold up for him to push Cotto to the limits...and I for one do not believe Manny's beard is made of the same substance of Margarito's beard. Just an observation that should be noted.

I always thought it was the other way around, it's more tiring if you were whiffing all night. Hitting air takes a lot out of a boxer, it sucks all power that the boxer put behind the punch.

Margo's got great whiskers, he needs it, because he is sooo hittable. Manny's a different story, he needs to put his licks in and get out fast. Since Manny moved up in weight (Diaz fight), were his opponents are way bigger and much more resilient to his power punches, plus the fact that they hit harder than his contemporaries who approximates his size (Barrera, Marquez & Morales), he has to pick his spots unlike before. He found out that it was a much better proposition for him to hit and not to get hit back in return.

True story...

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 !

Catchweight Bull****! So is Manny!

Freddie Roach and Manny is so full of ****! That is so simple, Roach is saying that they want to start the fight at a fast pace. That's the quickest way to make a fighter use his energy early especially if he had problems making the weight. So all Freddie is hoping is that Cotto gets weak. Manny is a weak ass fighter and he doesn't have no boxing skills. Why wouldn't Manny fight Mosley when Mosley offered to come down and fight at 140. He didn't accept that because he's afraid that Mosley can make the weight without being weak. He's afraid that's his ass. Like Nate Campbell said. Manny is nothing special.
