Comments Thread For: Roach: Cotto is Declining, Mayweather May Stop Him

[Reloaded]

Anyway, u look at it...Cotto was damaged goods right after the Margarito fight.....more so after the Pacquiao fight....so yeah...Floyd will be getting leftovers...he just wants PPVs from the latino community.

The difference is Cotto will not be weight drained like Pac wants and that matters a lot in this fight , Pac DUCKED this Cotto dont forget it !

Cotto nowadays is a damaged fighter but people forget Manny tried to get that fight again at a drain em weight again. I don't even care if May/Pac ever fight. They both should a bit of fraud in em. Just to be real........Sh#T!!!!!!!!!

Pffft, yea ok he ain't fighting no lightweight this time around and he ain't fighting someone who is 39 years old either ... I'd still say mayweather is favorite but to say Floyd is gonna beat up Cotto .. Uh uh I dont see it , Cotto is very skilled in there ya need to get of floyds jock like he's fought any one significant recently ... He will be in a fight come march 5 without a doubt

[eklok]

he's fighting pac's leftover , but most of all its a cherry picked fight , cotto's just cashing out , useless fight IMO

[KnockUTheFukOut]

but yet they wanted to fight him, if he would have accepted the fight at 150, they would have been pumping him up

Pac ducked Cotto at 147 as well, lets not forget that either.

The 145lb catch-weight demand was a show-stopper.

Thats dead right , Pac REFUSES to fight Cotto without a CW and then the Pac ******s try and down Miguel because Floyd fights Cotto at the weight Pac DUCKED .

Pac ******s are the dumbest fans on the planet , because even kids should be able to work basic things out for themselves , these idiots are brain dead .

Sure, but how is it any different than the situation back in 09 ?

Cotto was faded, damaged, vulnerable, and ripe-for-the-picking..... the timing of that fight was horrible for Miguel, plus Team Pacquiao demanded weight restrictions.

Cotto was likely ranked about #5 when Pac fought him, and that 145lb version of Cotto would have been beaten by a number of guys in his own division.

So how come people give Manny credit for that win, I dont get it ?

A number of guys could have beaten that version of Cotto, so why is it regarded as a "great" achievement?

This is an offhand insincere comment by Roach, he does not feel that way. It is the same as saying, "man I wouldn't even want to win the lottery, you know?". It is that whole "say something is going to happen, when deep down you don't want it to" scenario. This is Roach's way of playing down Cotto's abilities and inside hoping he beats Floyd to make the world think there is no way Floyd could beat Manny. Also, because that means there would be no pressure to face Floyd ever if this happened. Roach is full of ****, I used to like him but he has turned into a real intolerable *******. He gets a lot of passes from people because of his disease but he is still a prick. I even watched that show of his on HBO and he acts like a ****. I respect his knowledge of boxing, I am sorry he has Parkinsons and he is a great trainer, no doubt about that...but this whole commentary is BS.
