Manny Pacquiao: "I Am Not Taking Cotto For Granted"

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Yes you are.

Saying that is like when a fighter tries to show that he aint hurt from a big punch, when he really is.

Jackie Chan will get a reality check november 14!!!!!!!

[peyk-peyk]

Change of plans. Pacquiao will train in my backyard.

He's thinking this is going to be another walk in the park for him. Pac is buying into the hype created by the media and all the ass kissers around him. I like Manny but he's going to get humbled and brought back to reality on Nov. 14.

I think this fight can go both ways, Cotto has a style that likes to get hit by uppers and Roach can exploit that, but honestly, COtto has done really good against fast slick southpaws before, this time his opponent is going to be smaller framed, I just see this as a mismatch to be honest, Arum trying to cash in before pacquiao goes into politics.

Pacquiao is more efficient when he is not overtrained, not pressured to train, and just enjoys doing what he enjoys doing. We all know Pacquiao. Come training period, he will be the most hardworking fighter you will ever see.

we also know that pac loves being around people... training in the PI is a mistake.

I don't think Pacman will have a problem with the conditioning aspect for the fight because Pacman has always been a well conditioned and great stamina fighter, but I do beleive that what Roach wants is to have more time to work and focus on the stategy and all possible gamplans for the fight.

Roach realizes that Pacman will be facing the strongest and fastest oponents he has ever faced and that Cotto is also a type of fighter that can adjust to the different situation within a fight therefore he would like to prepare Pacman for a Plan A, B and C also.

Watching the Mosley/Cotto fight (Roach mentioned he was impressed with Cotto on that fight), he realized that Cotto outboxed a stronger guy with similar speed (not saying faster than Pacquiao) but at the same time had 7" more reach than what Pacman and Cotto has, and Cotto neutralized that reach advantage with his counterpunching, hand speed and jab.

Remember initially Roach was the person from Pacman's camp pratically screaming and demanding that the fight should be at 142 or 143 because he wanted to have nore advantage against this dangerous fighter.

Pacman is a great fighter but Roach is a great trianer and he is doing what he is suppose to do, worrying and willing to prepare his fighter for his next fight specially when his next fight will be the most dangerous fight of his boxer's career.

Wait.

So Pac has to actually train for this fight?

Give me a break.

Cotto on one knee, by round 3.
