Freddie Roach Talks Mayweather Jr, Pacquiao vs Cotto

[pbftxrs316]

BoxingScene.com spoke with trainer Freddie Roach on a variety of subjects. Roach is still smarting over the fact that Floyd Mayweather, Jr. opted to fight Juan Manuel Marquez before Pacquiao. [details]

bottom line is this folks, manny pacman is getting laced if he fights floyd, period....he has nothing that floyd hasn't seen before...floyd is going to dominate pac---i've said it before, i'll say it again...skillwise, floyd is leagues ahead of pac---has always been--manny has improved, but fighting floyd is a cold does of reality...all those predicting he will knock floyd out, keep it up...i want you to, and so does floyd---floyd is going to beat the living **** out of pac, mark my words....i've said this before, i'll say it again, floyd will punish manny---just wait and see---the countdown begins people...

Get outta here with that statement, when Judah was tagging Mayweather all night at will. If it wasn't because Judah has no heart nor stamina he would have whooped Floyd that night. Cotto is a different beast in himself.

what are you talking about all night at will...he caught floyd a few times in the beginning, that's it...you guys really need ot break fights down better---floyd won 9 rounds against judah and de la hoya...zab lost round 3....zab was much faster than cotto is...floyd will tag the **** out of cotto...pac...and mosley...you guys markl my words...floyd will beat jmm, pac, shane, and cotto....line them up...he will beta their asses one by one--and i can't wait of all of you to eat your ****ing words...

They only way I see Floyd loosing is with a bigger version of Castillo from there first fight.

I find this nonsense, considering Mayweather has ducked a number of fighters in the last few years.

i smell coto getting bet, prolly wont be easy but it will happen. what would trip me out is if he knocks him out liek hatton got laid out.

Roach thinks that Cotto is going to be a walkover for Pac, they will be in for the surprise of their lives. Cotto is going to bring Pac and the rest of his clown pose crashing back down to earth. I can't wait to see the bull**** Roach and that clown Gacal come up with when Cotto beats Manny.

Couldn't agree with you more....

as you say RIP to Gatti,

you're 100% correct Cotto is no Gatti, however in my mind, I just see a matchup between Cotto & Mayweather to go in very similar fashion, with Mayweather totally teaching Cotto a boxing lesson and Cotto getting increasingly frustrated while not being able to touch Mayweather.....let's hope we get to see it happen, too much boxing politics and money greed, from promotors & tv & the fighters as well.

Its no disrespect to Cotto...I think Cotto is a wonderful fighter, and as you look at his career he took on anyone who called him out, much like Oscar did when he was in his prime.....and he beat them, and has a loss to a guy who potentially had plaster up in his gloves......

again i look forward to seeing all of these guys fight......imagine if they did that tournament in the welter division with guys like: CLOTTEY,MOSLEY,MARGARITO,COTTO,MANNY,BERTO,CINTRON & COLLAZO...that would be dynamite!!!

I dont see Cotto getting frustrated, maybe if Floyd headbuts him all night like Urkal, but other than that Cotto is mentally capable of keeping his cool under adverse conditions, I.E. the Clottey fight. Cotto at WW beats up Pac at JWW and we get the WW fight of the decade with Cotto and Floyd.

EASY WIN for Manny, glad they're already thinking about his next fight.

Lmaooo @ all the mad cotto groupies.

[Pullcounter]

if cotto can't stop a former 106 lber he needs to quit boxing like he did against margo.

after COTTO gets ko'd by Pac-Man, maybe Cotto can go try to avenge his LOSS to Margarito.......

The thing is he is not going to get KO by Pac. Pac can win i give u that.
