    No offense to JMM and Cotto but they're pawns in a chess game

    I think people are going to be shocked at how easily Pacquiao destroys Cotto
    not even roach believes that

      Cotto is the first real threat to Pac's reign. He's finally in a fight where he's at a fighting disadvantage. He's not going to win by knockout and if he can pull off a win by boxing then we'll have seen the ceiling lifted on his potential.

      Manny has won most of his fights on physical talent but this fight will prove if he has the boxing skills to go even further. I think Roach knows this and has some real concerns. They're going to have to find a way to win against a bigger man without any knockdowns.

        Agreed, I’m a Cotto fan to the end but have to admit that Cotto is just going to have to assert himself in ways we would not expect from him. I think the fight will be ultimately a chess match to see could offsets who’s rhythm and vice versa.

        Peace.

          if this fight is a chess match then cotto has already lost. cotto needs to make it a war.

            Roach thinks Pacman is like his pet or something.

              I took his leash off and let him run around the park.
