    I'm sure the fight will be in danger if Cotto does go over 145 with Roach possibly calling it off however the quote was taken out of context. Here's the whole article. It must be a slow day in boxingscene.

    Roach wants Pacman to slow down

    MANILA, Philippines - Freddie Roach is facing the same old problem in training camp: how to prevent Manny Pacquiao from overworking and overdoing things.

    “I have to slow him down,” said Roach who presided yet another workout at the Shape Up Gym in Baguio City where the Filipino icon is in the thick of training for his Nov. 14 match with Miguel Cotto.

    Mediamen, however, were kept away from the gym yesterday. But Mike Koncz, the boxer’s adviser, said the doors will re-open on Oct. 1 when Bob Arum of Top Rank arrives for a three-day visit.

    Roach said he lives a life of “negotiations” with Pacquiao in training. When he says it’s done for the day the 30-year-old boxer would always ask for more, probably an extra round or two with the mitts or in sparring.

    “I have to pull him back because I want him to stay hungry in training,” Roach would often say. But most of the time, he gives in to the boxer’s request, and this training camp is no different that the previous ones.

    Pacquiao blew into town last Sunday while Roach, along with conditioning coach Alex Ariza and Rob Peters, who normally handles the security at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, came in the other day.

    “Maybe he wants to impress me,” said Roach, and by the three-time Trainer of the Year’s words, the reigning pound-for-pound champion is doing a very good job.

    Barely in his fifth day at the gym, Pacquiao has shown tremendous speed like he’s been training for a month now. The first two days of workout were held at the Wild Card in Parañaque last week.

    “Manny is very sharp,” Roach observed.

    “He showed me his speed, his footwork. As if he has been training for a month. I’ve never seen a fighter this fast,” said Roach who even said Pacquiao “can fight on Saturday.”

    The inner circle of Team Pacquiao held a brain-storming Tuesday evening, mapping out the fightplan for what could be the Filipino’s toughest fight. They plan to train in Baguio for five weeks before flying to the US.

    “We are not worried,” said Roach. “We will make sure that Cotto cannot use his weight to his advantage.”

    Pacquiao knows the kind of fight he’s getting into, and is not leaving any stone unturned in training.

    “Malakas si Cotto (He’s strong),” he said

        pac and jmm have no business at WW.

        I dunno what you girls are crying about anyways... cotto will still be 10+ lbs heavier than pac on fight night.
        And we are the ****** ones..LMAO..Proof read before you call someone ******.
        FMJ didn't really use his weight advantage against JMM, it was a big difference in skill level. Even you detractors could see that. JMM wouldn't have beaten him at any weight PERIOD.

            you guys are still ******...

            floyd was pushing jmm around with his jab like it was a power punch. jmm landed a punch and floyd laughed it off like a love tap.

            give it up!!!!

            in a fair fight, I dunno if jmm would win, but for sure he'd do better than last saturday.

              he's talking about cheating on the weigh in.

                I wouldn't say he was pushing him around with his jab but he was throwing off his rhythm and timing. FMJ laughed when Judah hit him too maybe that was some love tapping going on. Excuses and more excuses. If you can't see the difference in the skill level between Floyd and Cotto, PAC, JMM and Mosley then you are not being fair to yourself.

                  Floyd told GBP at the beginning of the week that he was not going to make 144. If they chose not to tell JMM until after the weigh in; then who really cheated him?

                    Yes, it's serious, if it wasn't Roach wouldn't be crying about weight for his fighter every fight....but he's supposedly the best fighter.

                    I always shake my head a Roach, everyone else is in love with the guy like he's a fine chick.

                      So you mean Floyd's weight was busy making JMM miss even when he was 6inches away?
                      This is the best arguement I've ever read
