Interview with Freddie Roach: What's up with Manny Pacquiao? ...

[Baracka Flocka]

Didn't roach say Pacquiao would STOP cotto in an earlier article or am I wrong? Maybe it's just me but i thought this was totally different than another review of fight. I do agree with what Roach said about Cotto's fight with margarito and clottey. WHAT?? Me agree with roach??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

Yeah, I'm sure he thought at first that it would be a clear pacman win. However, with all the stuff going south with Pac pulling a Rocky 3 and Cotto pulling a Rocky 4 Roach has a right to worry and be annoyed.

I think Pacquiao is TOO proud to bow out but i get the feeling that Roach might throw in that towel earlier than pacquiao would want, almost like Buddy Mcgirt with malinaggi.

co-sign homie.. green K

Roach is doing what he's supposed to and that's get in Manny's head.

As a trainer myself, you NEVER want to make the fighter think this is an easy fight.....THERE ARE NO EASY FIGHTS.

I think Roach knows he can beat Cotto but he's not happy with the way Manny is acting right now putting movies and such ahead of his training. I think Manny will come back to the fold, get serious and come fight night will be too much for Cotto.....

If Roach only gets 3 weeks with Pacman,that could be bad!!How heavy are the welterweights that Pacman will be sparring with??I think if Roach had Pacman for a full training set,his confidence would be sky high,but on a shady note like this,he seems worried,I feel for him!!

The Porter kid is a 154/160 type kid that looks to be built exactly like Cotto. He has power like Cotto as well so he should give Manny good looks. Also, it never said he was only going to have 3 weeks with Manny, it said they would have 3 weeks together at the Wildcard Gym. But Freddie will be with Manny in Mexico or the PI well before that. It sounds like he will pretty much be with Manny from next one on through the fight. Here is a video I found of Shawn Porter...

This sucker Michael Koncz has been compaint several times by some Filipino fighters and I don't know why they are still keeping this idiot here in Philippines... If this problem with that sucker continues, I will finmd him here and will blow his ass...

I'm sorry, but Pacquiao better use another sparring partner because Porter is not going to do it. If he prepares for cotto fight with porter, manny will be in trouble. There are sooooo many good sparring guys out there and porter just seems totally wrong for cotto fight.

[razor.thin]

cotto too big for manny

[Stoppage]

Cotto is taking this very seriously and I knew for a while now that Pacquiao needs to get to training soon.

Please elaborate. How so? His style? What is it? Porter like Cotto relies heavily on a left hook, they are about the same stature therefore punches will come from the same angles, Porter is probably a little faster at this stage....what is it? please educate me.
