Manny Pacquiao Will Expose Miguel Cotto, Says Roach

[MOREBASS]

That's fine, but if Pacquiao is going to keep fighting guys of where it's such a forgone coclusion that he is going to win, the PPVs he does will never get any of my money. And people have a legitimate gripe because Larry Merchant and Jim Lampley have called him this generation's Henry Armstrong. WTF?

I'm sure that they will do fine without your PPV support. LOL


I agree that people have a legitimate gripe, but that doesn't take away from the amazing things that Pacquiao is doing right now in boxing and for the sport. And if he isn't the closest thing our generation has to a Henry Armstrong, then who would you suggest would be better suited for that flattering comparison?

Is it me or is Freddie Roach starting to sound like Floyd Mayweather? hes only interested in the biggest Money thats why he never wanted Manny to fight Marquez and everytime I come to this website Roach has something to say about Cotto? Ive only seen one response that Cotto has made.

[Talisayen]

Cotto is way better boxer!!!

I totally disagree

Pacquiao boxing skills is way better than Cotto.

Cotto's only advantage is his weight and nothin' else.

Over Rated Catchweight Manny

Oh so Manny is going to expose Cotto by showing that he will get weaker in the later rounds. Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao is making a mockery out of boxing. Why don't they expose Nate Campbell, Joan Guzman, Floyd Mayweather, Andre Berto or Shane Mosley. Catchweight Manny is soooo over rated. If anyone is going to get exposed it's Catchweight Manny

Catchweight Manny doesn't have boxing skills. Wait until his little sorry ass gets exposed against floyd or any of the other fighters. All he does is hop around the ring like some bunny rabbit. But you ignorant Manny fans calls that skills

[Coach54]

I think Cotto and pac man are both great fighters, and I like the both of them. I just think speed will favor pacman on this fight...Why stand with some one who can hit like Cotto and get knocked out like Hatton did? Why not use your advantage Pretty boy is being doing it for years and he is still unbeaten..I don't think Pretty boy if to fight Cotto will stand with him...

People need to wake up

I'm sorry, but everyone comparing Cotto's fights at junior welterweight against Torres and Corley to his fights at welterweight need to wake up. Yes, he got rocked by Torres and Corley, but it is well documented that he had major problems getting down to the junior welterweight level, that's why he went up to welterweight. Now, how many times was he knocked down at welterweight? ZERO times. Even in his fight with Margarito, he didn't get knocked down, he went down to a knee on his own. Pacman is a strong puncher for his size, but no way does he have the punching power of Margarito, Clottey, Judah, or Mosley. Pacman is faster they say. Who cares? So was Judah, so was Mosley, they both lost, one by referee stoppage. People are seriously underrating the hand speed of Cotto AND his excellent timing. The only kind of people that gave Cotto problems at welterweight were those that could back him up, and only people who did that were those fighters who were bigger than he was (Margarito, Clottey). I love watching Pacman fight, he is an excellent fighter and I love cheering for him, but I seriously believe he is in way over his head with this fight. Like Cotto said, this will be a war, but I don't think this is a war Pacman can win. To beat Cotto, as small as Pacman is, he would have to fight like Mayweather, stick and move, in and out, refusing to exchange. Problem is, Pacman is not that kind of fighter. Deep down he is a warrior. When he takes a good shot from Cotto, and he will get hit, he will back up, bounce and tap his gloves together, than he will come in straight at Cotto like he does in every other fight, and that is when Cotto will brutalize Pacman.

Cotto via knockout or stoppage in 8th round.

Honestly, for a brief time I thought it might be Paul Williams. But that has changed after he ducked James Kirkland and is pricing himself out of a fight with Pavlik. I don't think anybody can hold Armstrong's jock strap from this generation.

If Corley and Torres can hurt Cotto then pac can KO Cotto. Judah was a JWW for a long time too and he hurt Cotto, and yes Pacquiao does hit 3 times harder then Judah
