Roach "We're going to score an early knockout. We are confident and Cotto is SHOT"

[sycomantz]

what i find funny...is all the people who are riding pacs nuts. when roach just openly admited, the reason why he had pac fight dlh, hatton, and now Cotto. is because he only wants to fight guys who are shot... they called out the wrong guy this time, b/c cotto isnt shot

Pac is nothing but hype and a loser. roach dont want him in the ring with viable fighters. only shot ones... this is the most pathetic team in boxing

its just mindgames... i dunno why you guys take this so seriously

[sycomantz]

yes. if oscar, hatton and cotto are shot, then why is manny so great? why are you making fights with over the hill opponents? roach should keep quiet for one more day.

b/c he isnt, thats the point. most of us rational boxing fans never feed into the pac hype. Roach just exposed them for the cowards they are

stop being ****** man...these arent mind games. Roach actaully feels cotto is SHOT. just like he felt and knew Hatton and DLH were.

and all this has done is tarnish pac's legacy b.c he wont fight healthy fighters.

hes career will be known for fighting shot fighters. dude will not be an ATG.

they are lame.

I was listening to the Murph and Mac show on the radio and they spoke to Chris Mannix of Cnnsi and he said he spoke to Roach for about 30 minutes yesterday and asked him a few questions. Here is what Roach said basically:

He was asked if there were more distractions than usual for this camp
Roach: I would have liked for Manny to just trained at Wildcard gym but the camp was not wasted in the Philippines. He has never seen Pacquiao this focused and ready for a fight. He only said they wasted about a week though when Pacquiao had to talk to politicians and all that.

He was then asked if Cotto was any different from DLH/Hatton

Roach: Cotto is definitely a shot fighter. His reflexes and speed and ability to punch and be punched is not the same. It hasn't been the same since the Margarito fight. We really believe we will score an early knockout on him.

Mannix said there was no BS in Roach he was completely serious about the early knockout.

anyway it isn't word for word but still interesting

bump this thread sunday morning, after the fight's over and cotto goes down in the fifth.
