Roach: "Miguel Cotto Has Trouble With Southpaws"

[Silencers]

I dunno, Cotto hasn't been as spectacular against southpaws but he's always found a way to adapt and win against them.

[RL_GMA]

YES YES YES!!! This is exactly what I thought was going to happen.

Let the odds go up higher for Manny please!!!

Come on, we need more people to think Cotto can't win.

[-Antonio-]

He still adapts fights them pretty well. He's fought some good southpaw's too.

Actually Judah's best weight is 140 not 147... Manny Pac has more explosive power than Judah, Judah is not much bigger than Pac, really you just exaggerate. Pac ****s on Judah. If Kostya can make him do the chicken dance then Pac will make him do the headless chicken dance.

The one thing you forget is that Pac is a fully fledged Jr. Welter. He's been able to carry his power and speed really well and even Roach said Pac's most comfortable weight so far is 140. After what he did to Hatton at 140 I dare not disagree.

Judah has more explosive power than Pacquiao.

Tszyu was one of the best punchers of all time at 140.

Trainer Freddie Roach is not convinced that WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto is comfortable with fighting southpaws in the ring. He watched Cotto's fight with Zab Judah a few times and noticed how Miguel was troubled by Judah's style in the early rounds. He thought Judah broke down along the way due to stamina. He thinks Manny Pacquiao's style and speed will present a lot of issues for Cotto on November 14. [details]

Is this supposed to be some kind of news flash?

[Left2body]

everybody has problems with southpaws accept mayweather. cotto will jab and walk right through pac.manny does'nt hit harder than clottey nor margacheato and cotto took their punches well. i don't think pac can hurt cotto.the question is can pac take cotto's punches? miguel wins this fight.

I guess you didn't see the Chop Chop fight. Everyone has problems with southpaws even other southpaws because it is different than what they normally face.

However, Cotto has a lot of experience with Southpaws so we'll see.

[NAPO]

I don't think they should be focusing about this. Cotto adapts to southpaws pretty easily now.

[boricuarn]

I want Roach to believes everything he wants. Everytime he has a comment change his mind about it, now he says Cotto has problems with southpaws, well the only thing I know that every southpaws that went into the ring with Cotto lost. Roach knows very well that Cotto is not a piece of cake and he knows very well that Cotto will destroy his Pac man. One thing now, keep talking good about Pacquiao, keep choosing him to be the favorite in Las Vegas, because one thing sure, I will have my $500 to beat in favor of Cotto:****you:, which will give me a better pay, probably my trip in Las Vegas will be free.

As much as I hate to admit Roach is kinda right BUT fighting a southpaw wont make a difference if Manny does what people believe him to do which is come straight at Cotto and if he does that it wont make a difference what style or stance hes in BUT if Manny boxes from angles like he did Oscar I believe he'll give Cotto something to think about...

Roach needs to reanalyze this fight and know that it wasnt Zabs stamina that was effected it was Miguels power shots that did the job. He was worn out after taking heavy heat in the corners

[CottoKOsPacman]

it seems that freddie's worried since all he continuosly does is try to convince us,himself, & manny that about cotto's weaknesses. i mean this fight is gonna be a close fight that can go any way do to alot of different attributes that both fighters bring. so if either side actually thought they had an edge on a weakness
u would think that they would work on it & not be so ****y as to reveal it to the world just to brag about it. i think roach is a fool whos full of all the success hes had & is starting to believe the hype that hes some sort of super genius trainer thats also a nostradamus predictor whos trying to brag & show off. if i was him, even with all the success i'd keep my mouth shut & handle my business.
it might be the symptons of parkinsons but i dont know now whos worse at talking so much sh.t, him,floyd sr., or floyd jr.
