I was with you until that bull**** about Cotto winning by 1 or 2 point. Trout CLEARLY won that fight and there is no reason for cries of robbery. If you want to go that route how about we revisit the Mosley and Clottey fights?

Anyways, I disagree with Roach. We've seen numerous times where slick boxers get smothered and neutralized by pressure fighters. Hell we just saw it a few weeks ago with Mares and Moreno. The problem with Cotto is that he is small at this weight class and his power had no effect on Trout. Trout was not only the slick boxer but the bigger, stronger and better fighter.

Roach is WRONG, Trout had no respect for Cotto's power. he wasnt running away.

Trout landed more punches and controlled every round. Cotto had his moments for like 20 secs of some rounds but wasn't on the same level as Trout. Cotto didn't come close to winning that fight only a complete moron would think he was. (You and Paulie.)

Cotto is a blown up Jr MW. His maximum weight is WW. He has the height of a Jr WW/LW. He should move back down to WW where he belongs.

to think those two are going to be judging this Saturday's fight,wow,actually I was listening to a show last night about one of the judges and how she has scored fights in the past (controversial),get ready for another controversial pacman win

There you have it folks, Roach believes in cherry picking. Wonder if this way of thinking applies to his fighters as well.

Let's all hope and pray you never manage a fighter because if you do I can easily see him going 7-35. There is a lot of wisdom in what Roach said. At this stage of Cotto's career he needs to fight fighters that are high risk and high reward. Not high risk and LOW reward.

Cotto landed his clean left hook to the body that stops most dude in there tracks but didnt have no effect on Trout he was too big for cotto to push off him so he was either too far or too close the whole fight. I still say Cotto vs Canelo is still a 50/50 fight tho
