What will Freddy Roach say1st after Pacman is defeated thread.

[Ben_London]

Unless there's a controversial ending I expect he'll be quite gracious.

[Snuff Armstrong]

Freddy should just man up and say Cotto is underrated, and people didn't know how great Cotto truly was.

That would be official if Freddy man upped and admitted Cotto is the better fighter. I just don't see it happening though considering how much Roach is constantly saying how Manny is the best fighter in the world. If he has the best fighter in the world, who is then beaten and defeated by Cotto, then what would that make Miguel? Certainly, I don't think Freddy is ever going to go on record and say that Miguel Cotto is a better fighter then Pacquiao.

Well, the way I said it didn't emphasize that Cotto is better then Pacquiao overall. And thats probably the same way Freddy would phrase it. Cotto is underrated, I already know this I just don't know how much he honestly has left in the tanks ever since that Margarito fight. I wasn't impressed by his Clottey fight, I thought prime vs prime Cotto would whoop Clotteys completely but it was a bit more competitive then I expected. And I know some ppl point to the eye issue and Clottey getting away with headbutts like he normally does but I bet it had to do with something else.

Cotto had Clottey in the corner and was battering him around and getting through his defense then Cotto let up, not the same Cotto who would have kept pressing the fight and trying to finish Clottey off like the Cotto who fought Judah. Didn't cotto also have a cut on his lip and on his eye against Judah?

Roach will say: If I cant apologize for being wrong Then its just a shame on me Ill be the reason for your pain and you can put the blame on me.

You're right Cotto was cut on the eye and lip badly during his fight with Judah. But I think the difference between when he kept punching with cuts during the Judah and Clottey fights is, he probably actually felt and knew Judah was wilting under the barrages, where as he probably felt Clottey was just resting and setting a trap.

[Snuff Armstrong]

What if when interviewed immediately after Roach said, "Cotto is a good fighter, but an even better trainer?" Now that would be funny as he would still be ****ting on Santiago.

[Snuff Armstrong]

He will probably say Manny was too focused on movie roles, commercials, albums, playing basketball, and helping out with the typhoon victims when it should have been on the task at hand, boxing.

[Snuff Armstrong]

That the fight should have been negotiated for 144 instead of 145.

The reason Cotto let up on Clottey in the corner is because he knew Joshua was taking his shots well and he didn't want to punch himself out.

There's a huge difference between Zab and Clottey. Zab was clearly hurt and had nothing for him anymore.

We all know Freddy is, and always does, a lot of talking prior to his fighters fights, and this one is no exception. So with less then a week until Pacman's next fight with Cotto, who thinks they know the first words Freddy will utter after he realizes his star pupil was just devastated and defeated at the hands of Cotto? Would it be, "Holy ****, I didn't see it coming"? Or something like, "Cotto was just too big?" Or, "Cotto just got lucky?" What do you guys think? Let the games begin.

He'll say you got owned.
