Freddie Roach: “We are about to fight King Kong”

[El Chicano]

Manny Pacquiao is Miguel Cotto’s hometown of Caguas, Puerto Rico today. Thousands of figt fans are on hand. In interviews before start of the press conference, Pacman stated “”There is going to be a lot of action in the ring. Cotto is big and strong. This will be my hardest fight. Cotto has size, is smart and he’s big – I will train hard.” Trainer Freddy Roach added, “We are about to fight King Kong. That’s how big he is. But we have a game plan. It is a hard fight however.”

Can't help but feel a line is going to have to drawn somewhere on Manny Pac, dude is awesome, but Cotto is huge and smart. He is also battle hardened after his wars with Clottey and Margarito. Beating Clottey was a huge psychological hurdle, he really should have lost that fight but he didn't. he dug in, changed his gameplan when everything was going against him.

Pacman hasn't had to deal with adversity for a long time. Cotto does, seemingly all the time.

Cotto is going to take him out I think. Anytime from the 5th onwards.

If Pac beats Cotto I think he should be on ATG lists personally.

He already is. A win over Cotto cements his status as one of the elite ATGs. He's really a natural featherweight moving up to fight perhaps the best Welterweight in the World.
