Roach Worried About Miguel Cotto's "Dirty Tactics"

[Talisayen]

A mediocre boxer like Cotto will do anything just to win a round with Pacquiao. Pacquiao by brutal KO in the 6th round.

Nope. Cheating is what Margarito did (as well as criminal) and what Mosley and Vargas once did when they used steroids. Fighting rough is not actual cheating because you do get penalized for it, hence point deductions or DQs. Under your definition going in with your head (like Clottey did, and like Holyfield always did) is also cheating and that is incorrect. What we can agree on is that the Ref has to be prepared to warn and deduct whenever those kinds of PENALTIES - which is what they actually are - occurr.

I beg to differ. Fighting rough, example: Low Blows, are a form of cheating. They are penalized giving the offending fighter the benefit of the doubt that it was accidental. What happens if you fight rough too often? You get disqualified. I would hope that a disqualification is not seen as a positive.

I am pretty sure Cotto is going to watch his hands this time. This is a much bigger fight than the Zab fight.

So here come the excuses!!! He gets the hell out of here with that ****! Yeah there was some low blows in that judah fight but none of them ever looked intentional!! I cant wait to hear Joke Roach cry when Cotto knocks ******* out!!!

A mediocre boxer????? Dude what planet are you on??? If Cotto is mediocre, that is not saying much for Shane Mosley, who is an excellent boxer. You obviously do not have a clue about boxing, go to sleep!

As to Roach, it is obvious he is scared and rightly so. I love bothe fighters, but I do not see how Manny can win. He would have to go the entire fight without being hit, that is the only way. One solid liver shot by Cotto and I think it is all over. I am not saying this because I think Manny is not tough, he is as tough as they come, but you have to admit, he is out of his depth here.

As to Cotto cheating, no he does not cheat, if he does, so does every other fighter on the planet. Every fighter has their dirty little tricks. Holyfield was a master at headbutting and getting away with it. Hopkins has a million tricks up his sleeve, Roberto Duran, one of the greatest of all times done it. It is called "ROUGH HOSE TACTICS" it is a part of the sport, end of story. Can anyone here tell me a fighter that has never been dirty in a fight????

Roach does not expect to get any resolution on this issue.

He said it to make everyone aware that Cotto does it.

This is a great move on Roach's part. Miguel said himself that he will do whatever it takes to win when asked about his low blows.

Pacquiao is not

[Miguel Quiros]

Can some one step on this ****Roach

Please ****Roach, just keep your mouth close because after Cotto gets done with your #1 fighter you'll have nothing left, that's why you are crying almost a month before the fight (the weight, the gloves, the ring, the referee, what's next; that Cotto will have to fight with one hand tied up, joker). If I remember well in your first comments about the fight you said that you were not worry about Cotto at all because your fighter was the best and that he will Knock Cotto out and more blah, blah, blah. Just retire and take care of your old sick ass ****Roach.

That picture of Pacquiao and Cotto merged together is so freaky looking in your avatar.
