This is wat im telling ppl floyd wont win with 15 punches per round cotto will outbox him when have you seen cotto lose to a boxer he lost to a guy who cheated and another who drained him

[EdMon917]

It will be an interesting fight but Cotto will need to try and stay more active than Mayweather to try and win rounds. I can't wait. Go Cotto!!

Again Roach with this ****** Maywather only throws 15 punches per round BS. God damn his guy says ****** **** all the time.

I hope Roach remembers this interview he gave. I'm sure the story will change on May 6th. This is the same logic he uses to explain why he thinks Pacquiao will beat Mayweather.

The Thing is Mayweather doesn't box, He stands his ground and will try and Counter Cotto. Yea He will give ground to Cotto but not like Yuri, and even when mayweathers against the rope I don't see Cotto doing much, when he had Margarito and Pacquiao on the ropes there were times that he could of dealt damage but he didn't do much. But I see what you saying either way its going to be a good fight, I do believe Cotto is going to do a lot better than what people think.

Hope you're right Roach.

.......Yes.

If Cotto keeps getting countered, then his punch output will drop. I should think Roach knows this right? 15 punches that land is better than 5 punches that Cotto lands out of 60 punches he throws.
