Roach Changes Position: "Pacquiao Knocks Cotto Out"

[loui_ludwig]

Im not surprise, but Roah is nervous as hell.

Change predictions more than his underwear.

His trying to hype and syke Pacquiao up, becaus ethey know they beat more than they can chew!!!!!!!

You mean "bite".

Absolutey ridiculous. lol So Roach predicts victory over an opponent preparing in ways he can't see? I don't think Roach is in Cotto's camp as well, where I hear very good things are happening in the way of enhancing Cotto's power, speed and especially developing the right hand lead that seems to be Manny's kryptonite, and they are taking place even as Roach speaks. Roach is a good trainer...and that's it, not a prophet.

Roach is not a prophet much more an opposite of trash-talker and known failed boxing analyst and trainer Floyd Sr. Roach based his predictions from Pac performances in training and of studying the style of Cotto, to come up perfecting his predictions, just like his predictions in ODLH and of Hatton! IMO, though Roach predictions are somewhat unrealistic and almost discarded as out of context, he do predicting based on what he observes and he resulted oftentimes correct! Unlike Floyd Sr. making predictions based on his hatred (or envy?) to either Roach or Pac, or both but consequently all derailed!

At one time, I don't believe in Roach predictions, but considering his last two daring predictions correct, I don't have reason not to believe him this time.

Now I understand why Floyd Mayweather Sr. calls him Freedy the joke coach Roach. This guy is absolutely delusional if he thinks Manny is going to knock Cotto out.

I just love how most here are buying into the Pacquaio hype. I hope you same guys put your houses and cars up on this fight as well!

Haven't you hear his two famous predictions to ODLH and HAtton that ends up perfect?? Well, better believe to trash talker Floyd Sr, after all his predictions contradicting Roach predictions all went wrong!

And Roach dilusional if he thinks Manny is going to knock cotto??? that's no longer new! In fact I was one among the many who think the same when Roach predicted "unrealistic" result for pac against ODLH and against Hatton! But many shocks of the results, much more how Roach so perfect in his two predictions!

It took Margarito(a bigger guy) 11 rds. and bricks in his hands to beat Cotto. What makes Freddy think that Manny will KO Cotto? He's not a dehydrated ODLH or an overated Hatton. He's a true WW and a professional. They tried to hurt Cotto with the weight but Cotto didn't let them. They will fight at 145 which is only 1 lb. less than Cotto weighed-in against Clottey. Now Roach is worried that they won't be able to cash in against Floyd if or when Cotto beats Manny. Why would anybody (especially Floyd) want to see the loser fighting Floyd?

No body wanted to hurt Cotto at 145lbs! Cotto fought with Clottey at 146lbs on scale and Roach, Pac and everybody (except you?) knows that 145 is just within his reach and would not be dehydrated! But if anyone would be hurt, will be Pac! from 135lbs and fought only once at 145lbs then another at 140lbs, sure he will not be climatized by that 145lbs weight! So there is no excuses from Cotto if his ass will be KOed by Pac!

But I believe, though Pac is just considered stranger to the catcweight, IMO, 145lbs is the maximum best of Pac and still more than capable to upset the best WBO champ. Floyd Jr knows this actually that's why he's anticipating Pac as his next opponent. Let's see come fight night!

Yea, taking punches with sparring protection gear on is the same as in a real fight...

But I have been saying this since the fight was first talked about - Pac will stop Cotto.

I can't see Cotto getting his rhythm going in this fight, and the majority of his best work will be neutralised by the speed and awkwardness of Pac.

I also said that Pac's power will cause Cotto problems - of course much to the dismay of Cotto stans.

poor freddie, starting 2 show the parkinsons disease signs. tomorrow he'll go back to by decision.

Surely Pacman will knock Cotto cold..
Whoever has the problem with that, I'm right at the ringside watching the bout..
