Comments Thread For: Pacquiao, Roach Differ on Outcome of Mayweather-Cotto

[GRUSTLER]

how do u fugure this? floyd aint even a pressure boxer. why would cotto's corner throw in the towel for when floyd is throwing 1 punch then clinching? cotto will have all the time he needs to recoupe.

You guys haven't been watching Floyd for as many years as you claim. Floyd connect rate and accuracy is the best in the sport. Where did this one punch theory come from? Stop listening to Freddie Roach. Floyd is going to tag Cotto up especially when he tries to put pressure on Floyd. The first 3 rounds are the feel out rounds and then in the 4th it's a wrap for Cotto. Cotto takes too much leather from slower punchers. You don't have to believe it but that's how I'm seeing it.

lol, we saw that fight too you know..stop the exaggeration please!

Whatever man. You'll never see anything outside of hate for Floyd so why even respond to a post debating boxing?

[Hallaqsillaq]

Mayweather's connect rate is the highest in the sport. Bet you 1MIL that Cotto is going to get stopped.

This is a flawed argument.

Floyd may have a higher connect rate, but Manny lands more, period.

Ex, Floyd may land 12 shots in a round, out of 20. Manny lands 15 shots out of 45. One has a connect rate of 60% and the other 33%.

Who did more damage?

Pacquiao will do more damage. # 1, he's packing more power in his punches and # 2, he's hitting you more.

Floyd may be more efficient, but Manny is still the far more dangerous opponent.

This article is lame. There are no actual predictions here from Roach or Pacquiao. Pacquiao specifically says that Cotto has a chance and Mayweather won't be able to knockout Cotto. Whereas, Roach says Mayweather will "rip him apart", which doesn't necessarily mean knockout or stoppage.

[spoonwars]

Where are the quotes...

So both say Cotto loses? But PAC says Cotto has a chance and Foach said May will rip him apart?

Yeah, damn, no quotes. You have to take it with a grain of salt.

[Reloaded]

they both feel that floyd doesn't have the punching power to hurt Cotto tho and they are 100% right about that

Pac wont fight Cotto at 154 lol , off course Cotto is going to waaaaaay more durable than at a drained 145 , you Pac ******s are so boxing ignorant !

[gquezvas]

To all the morons who keep saying Cotto was weight drained in the Pacquiao fight need to know the facts and not stop the BS excuses you people make up. Cotto was only 1 lb under what he was when he fought Clottey. Cotto is not a big welter by any means and rarley took fight at the full 147. The reason he is at 154 now is that they gave themselves the excuse that it was weight. Who has he fought at 154 of any regard? NO ONE!
You guys can't get past the ass kicking he got at the hands of Margarito. Bad wraps or not Margs tagged Cotto plenty of times so what makes you think a faster fighter with skill would be any different? Cotto's best was at 140

[Double_L]

Uhhh, yeah they did.

Like you would know you dummy , look at Cotto today , he was 10 lbs lighter lol

Dont go on about a a pound 6 mths earlier , because its was 2 lb lighter and he had a world of trouble making it ,he even said he will never sacrifice his body like that again ,,, and just to confirm all the relative FACTS , Pac refused to fight THIS Cotto and refused to fight him last time without a CW , you got nothing to brag about son , not when you MUST have a handicap to fight him !

Sure, and this is the best ever version of Cotto like your hero also claims. Funny how Mayweather fans suddenly stopped questioning Cotto's 154 credentials and stopped calling him a bloated welter, over-hyped b-level fighter or shot-to-**** (what happened to "one-legged Foreman", ancient & garbage Mayorga, "one-eyed Margo")? Now 154 is his best weight and Pac is ducking him lolololol..Funny how they suddenly stopped saying Cotto was damaged goods and ruined by Margarito's bricks? Now he was just weight-drained losing 1lb as a bloated JWW vs a bloated Pac he dragged up 7lbs lol. you idiots never get tired of spreading Floyd's bull****
