Freddie Roach: "Cotto's Not Back; He Still Got Hit With A Lot of Shots"

[Da Hammer]

Freddy was probably way too harsh but its hard to argue with anything he says. He's being brutally honest and well its exactly what the media loves in this day and age, when everyone wants to be politically correct. I always find Roach's interviews very interesting even though sometimes he's hard to understand... haha...

When a 3 time Trainer of the Year speaks........you should all listen. If there was a Trainer of the Decade award....he would win it.

^^^agreed, i just don't think he's being serious about Cotto should retire. I think he said that for other reasons.

Roach: "But Manny and i wouldn't mind fighting Cotto at 154, at a catchweight of course."

So having a catch weight is worse than forcing someone to move up in weight? If you care so much about weight and believe it is a big factor in fights then you should be crucifying Floyd.

And he still could not even make the contracted weight.

I am 100% with Freddie Roach on this video. Everything he said was on point. Cotto's not going anywhere unless he takes it easy and settles for fights like Margo II, Berto, Chavez Jr, Spinks or maybe Mosley II (although this could possibly be a close one).

Guys like Angulo and Kirkland would beat him in Margo fashion, and many other guys and that division would soundly decision him. He should focus on the money fights from here.

I agree with you but the warrior in Cotto won't settle for that. Many times people always ask the question "Why are the athletes the last to know?" It's because they are prideful warriors who never quit.

Cotto probably thinks he can beat Pac still if they rematched. I think those fights you mentioned are the best for Cotto.

So Cotto should retire but yet he wants to put Manny back in there for the title. On top of that Foreman was a fight they didn't want cause his size and movement. Roach is such a hypocrite

Freddie is the one who took too many shots. In the last two years he has become quite a douche. Arrogance is truly the downfall of humanity.

[javielo]

I agree with you... those who speak the most sometimes are the least that should speak. Just listen to Roach he sounds like a ******....

[paulf]

He's a piece of **** in the media. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. He's a glamor whore.

Its the media always going into his gym, asking him questions. not the other way around.

[Iceta Lives]

I agree with what Roach said other than the fact that Cotto has always got hit at will. But why is Pac's manager saying he wants a catch weight? What a joke.
