If Roach believes that Cotto is Going Downhill, Then Why Was Miguel Chosen for Pac

[El Angel]

Pac and Cotto were going to fight whoever Arum put in front of them. Since they're both Top Rank, easy fight to make and keeps all the money in house for Top Rank.

It like saying, ‘Hey, let’s go hunting.” And instead of going looking for some big game, you get a cage full of chickens and start shooting away at them while their still cooped up. There’s no sport in that, is there? I LOVE THAT LINE !

yeah that was classic stuff

Very insightful ts. This is classic Freddy "Drain Em" Roach.

This is also why they're gonna wait till JMM is 40 to give him a rematch. Maybe by then the fight will be easy enough for Pac to win decisively.

After Mayweather softens him up...

To the TS - that's part of the reason why they chose him. He's still a big name and a champion in a higher weightclass, and the fact that he is going downhill just makes him easier to beat, yet he would still get mad props for it. Exactly the same thing that they did with Oscar and Hatton. Smart business moves.

You see a flaw and you exploit it, lack of stamina and speed mismatch

Lack of Stamina?

lol

Lack of Stamina?

Have you not seen Cotto back peddling in the Margs and Clottey fights? Against high pressure fighters, he can't sustain at a high pace.
