Was Cotto purposely picked by Roach because he thinks Margarito took Cottos soul?

[Rabbit ♠]

When did he say that?

I think there was a report on here if I remember right. I think he said his skills aren't what they used to be.

That and because Cotto didn't look good against Clottey. I hope that we can get the Cotto that faced SSM.

Cotto is as good as he was back then, the only difference is the risk of a cut. Cotto whooped Jennings the same way he did Gomez.
Don't worry about excuses, at least from me; if Pac, for some crazy reason wins, i would give him his credit and admit he's the true best P4P fighter.

To answer the question: yes, he thinks Cotto is done.

DITTO! I'll give pacquiao credit even if he loses. He has done well with featherweights/lightweights. I cannot knock Pacquiao, just think that he should not be fighting a good, true welterweight....simple as that.

Manny was sitting ring side right next to Arum. Manny leaned over to Arum and he said, "I want to fight Miguel Cotto." I am sure it has crossed Manny and Roache's mind that Cotto after the plastering is damaged in a few ways. I also think Manny saw Cotto just a little slow against Clottey.

I still hope Roach and Pacquiao think Cotto is "damaged goods". Keep thinking that way....lol

roach never said cotto was "damaged goods"

cotto was purposely picked by ARUM, pacman and roach obliged b/c aside from mayweather, cotto's the biggest fight out there for pacman.....also part of the reason cotto got the nod over clottey, in a fight clottey won....b/c he's the bigger name.

I didn't realize Roach picked all of Manny's opponents.

Roach is Manny's boss???

I never said roach said it. Just hope they are "thinking" he is damaged goods. It will be embarrassing to all those saying it when a "damaged goods" fighter beats the P4P king.

he acts like pac's trainer.

he never said it and I don't think he's thinking that either...

embarassing for those people, of whom roach is not.

Cotto is definitely not the same after Margo, but he's still a threat in the game. He wasn't KD'd or KO'd against Clottey and showed he can still take a punch without folding in a tough fight.

I'm sure they're banking on Cotto's skills and reaction time not being all there.

It'll be good while it lasts.
