Originally posted by dstew View PostNot to mention that if they fought Cotto at 154 it would just be for the purpose of bragging about Manny's 8th title... coincidentally the SAME title that Yuri Foreman held, but they refused to fight Foreman for it because at 5'11" he is "too tall"... yet Margarito, who is 5'11", is a possibility if the Floyd fight doesn't get made?
So they wouldn't go after Foreman's 154 lb belt because he was too tall... yet they will let Cotto, who they've already beaten soundly, go dominate Foreman for his belt, then move up in weight (likely soundly beating Cotto again) to take the belt they were scared to go after in the first place? Or maybe they won't go that route... maybe instead they'll fight a guy just as tall as the guy they refused to fight because he was too tall?
Shady either way you make it. They better hope the Floyd fight gets made or they look foolish.
The "too tall" thing was just an excuse, What they basically meant was "He is a good fighter in his prime and he isnt coming off brutal losses like the rest of our opponents". They were scared of Foreman because he was a live fighter in his prime, They refuse to fight anyone like that. But if a guy is coming off losses or brutal fights then they pounce on the oppurtunity and fight him right away.
Pacquiao's "7 titles" thing is a myth anyway because the Cotto fight was at a catchweight, You should not be able to win titles at a catchweight.

Bob: I already arranged an upcoming fight for you.
Manny: Really, who is it?
Bob: Cotto.
Manny: But i already fought and defeated him.
Bob: I don't give a ****. You're my cash cow, and i want you go out there and make me some ****ing money.
Manny: But the fans want to see me and Floyd fight.
Bob: **** the fans, and **** Floyd. That little prick should of never left me.

The one thing about Roach is that he's always honest, that's who he is so people think he says things to get attention but that's not the case.
The funny thing, most of the things he has said have been true and come to pass, so it's not like he's talking out the side of his mouth.
Roach is a likable guy, that's why he gets the attention. I think he's a great trainer and a great person to be battling such a debilitating disease and doing what he does everyday.
God bless him....

Isn't Cotto an option for a rematch. I wouldn't be surprised if they faught him. Roach is famous for talking down about a fighter, then they sign to fight him.

They'd rather him call other fighters *****S.. Accuse others of bull**** accusations and ruin another mans livelihood and legacy.
Roach is a good guy speaking his mind. Just because he is blunt and hurts your feelings it isn't his problem.

Hes not talking ****, hes giving an honest opinion and theres was nothing wrong with that at all
People keep complaing about everything possible by calling Cotto a bum but probably picked him to beat Pac
