Freddie Roach Talks Mayweather Jr, Pacquiao vs Cotto

[jbin333]

I just think Cotto's style plays right into Floyd's.
Mosley would probably be a tougher fight for Floyd.

--------------------------
true, i still pick Floyd though...i just hope these fights can be made!!!

[Lamonte Bell]

Cotto will defeat Pacquiao

You most be forgetting about Cotto defeat over Mosley.Cotto is a great fighter he do not just punch he really can box.I do not believe that pac man can hurt Cotto there for he cannot stop him. Cotto in 6 rounds

[CottOFan187]

Clottey got pounded on the ropes and never tried to get off them.
Floyd lays on the ropes and maneuvers and make fighters miss.
Clottey didn't do that. For Cotto to be successful Floyd would have
to fight Cotto's fight and I just don't think Cotto ring IQ that impressive
to take Floyd off of his own game and winning mentality. I hope
Cotto/Mayweather happens next year, because in all honesty, that
is the fight that was/is supposed to happen.

For once your absolutely right and the ni99a u posted this reply too is an idiott cotto is the better puncherr but def doesn't have the better boxing skill ... only because cotto doesn't move his head enough and is too suspect too the uppercut ... its gonna be an awesome fighttt I've been dying too see and shud off happened a while agoo

Cotto should be able to beat Pacquiao considering he has been hit
by big guys and handled their power with exception to Margarito
but he went down after 10 RDS so that is impressive considering
that Margarito could of had plaster in his Wraps. IF Cotto loses
to Pac it will be because he can't handle Pac's speed and style
but I don't think Pac is that much of a big puncher when up against
bigger guys. It took him 8 RDS to get De La Hoya to quit and that
night Oscar was a walking corpse in the ring so Manny's in/out style
shouldn't be a problem for Cotto because Cotto will be fighting back.
If Cotto loses, then he should reavaluate his career and next moves.

agreed. the more entertaining fight would be MAY-SSM even though mosley would still get schooled.

may fighting pac and cotto will be str8 boxing lessons and painful to watch those two take their beatings

thats tru, only thing thaats worrisome for cotto is getting cut. he doesnt deal well with cuts. clottey didnt have the killer instinct.

if pac cuts cotto and cotto starts minding the cut. i dont see pac letting off cotto

--------------------------------------------------------

mayweather/cotto will be very simliar to mayweather/gatti....mayweather would totally tag Cotto up ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!

and COTTO will NOT be able to catch him AT ALL!!!!! and please let's not bring up judah & mosley as examples of fighters with "speed" that COTTO was able to beat, Mayweather is a totally different animal......

u r truly ****kkin simple. wow!

[azumi]

the only ass that COTTO is going to tear is his wife's ass. The early rounds would be for COTTO, the later rounds would be for PACQUIAO. For Cotto to win he needs to catch PACQUIAO in the early rounds, I like PACQUIAO's chances if it gets in the later rounds. Cotto will definetly be difficult, but PACQUIAO's speed and lateral movement, not the SHANE MOSLEY STAND in front of you speed, can and will be the difference maker. When PACQUIAO does win, you haters will probably say that COTTO tore his wife's ass the night before and he was drained.

i agree with this...been watching their past couple of fights and pacquiao recent became very good with his lateral movements...something none of the WWs use. no doubt cotto is stronger but with how wide his stance is when he throws body shot...its not happening. cotto gotta use his feints and jabs....he has got to cover up winky style and just keep taking it until he times him. i would like to see if pacman could take some heavy hands.
i don't think pacquiao wants to find out so we probably won't find out.

floyd pac is not happening....floyd wants the higher percentage when pacquiao is now proving to be the draw...

[MegatronCEN*CAL]

Roach will probably demand that Mayweather come in at 140.5 lbs, and still want it to be a WW fight.

[ricky1978]

haha yup. cotto comes well prepared every fight. dont c pacman gettin thru this 1 easy. cotto will suprise every1 again.

yeap, let's see what happens on fight night.........
