    It took me literally one semester of ESL to learn English in the 2nd grade. Manny has been fighting in the USA for 8 years and he still can't comprehend any questions that are asked of him. He always devolves into repeating the same generic statements in between 5-second pauses of um's and uh's.

      Manny has spent years in the US training and he still doesn not improve his English.

      He needs to take some notes from Cotto. Did you watch Cotto speak English last month?

        Manny, how are you going to beat Josh Clottey?
        "Umm, Josh is a big fighter, umm strong fighter."

        Manny, what challenges will Clottey pose to you?
        "Umm, we give good fight to fans."

        Manny, what kind of training are you going to do for this fight?
        "Umm, uh, will train hard for fight."

        If you consider that speaking a language then I can speak English, Russian, and Spanish all day long.

You can do no wrong!
          pac= educated guy, floyd and family = uneducated ****** bitches

              Floyd lived in the US all his life and still hasn't improved his English.

                Obviously it's easier as a child because your brain is still developing. To say that an adult can't learn a language better than Manny has over the course of 8 years is simply false though.

                  Miguel Cotto was born in New York and lives in Puerto Rico, a territory of the US, I don't see the similarities.

                  Guess what, people get better at what's important to them. Apparently learning English is not that important to him. He's been pretty successful without it. Only words he really needs to know are the ones Roach says. Roach isn't exactly the best teacher and he isn't even trying to teach him.

                  You are just trying to find a reason to bag on him. Making **** up about not even speaking Tagalog, and his lack of education. You seem to have an inferiority complex...

                      If I have an inferiority complex, I'd hate to see the complex *******s have.
