Comments Thread For: Roach: I Can Guide Miguel Cotto to Beat Sergio Martinez

[619 southpaw]

i thought just a few days ago roach was saying cotto's best weight is at 47 now he wants him at 60. no way cotto beats martinez at 60. martinez was dropped by big middleweight martinez is way to fluid and fast imo he would bust cotto up bad

Freddie Roach must be going for a cash out lol no way Cotto beats Martinez even a injured Martinez. I'm not buying it Cotto KO'd Tom Hanks last night that **** don't count lol

[skinnystev]

if he is big enough for "maravilla" he is big enough for Triple GGG

Congratulations!

Now that cotto is on steroids he has a much better chance.

You win the prize for most thoughtless comment on this thread.

Don't believe the hype. Martinez would school, embarrass and send Cotto to la la land via KO. No way Cotto beats Sergio Martinez. Funny to me that people say Martinez is past it because he had one bad night but before he beat the breaks off Chavez Jr, got caught with a big punch, got up and went out banging. All of a sudden Martinez is done as a top tier fighter? Boxing fans nowadays be riding wagons off and on. Cotto would have no chance against Martinez because there is no way Cotto will be fast or strong enough to humble Sergio in the ring. Martinez would put Cotto's lights out and I'm willing to bet all of my points on that match in favor of Martinez. People acting like Cotto really wanted it with Martinez but a little while ago he was talking about Martinez might not make financial sense.

I think Cotto should fight Carlos Molina. I know people don't think of Molina as a great fighter because of his ugly style but he beat most of the top JMW's. Molina is a natural JMW but he's not big for that weight class and he's not a puncher.

I think Cotto can beat him. It would be tough fight no doubt because of Molina's awkward style but I think Cotto has the better skills and would handle him well in the clinches. And IF Cotto beats him, he deserves credit.

I know Cotto's probably looking for a big money fight but I think Sergio's too big for him, same thing with Canelo. I think Cotto's a better boxer than Canelo but Alvarez is bigger, stronger and in his prime.

I would rather see Cotto go down to 147 than move up to 160

i loved that performance by miguel. even if you legitimately [not for the sake of saying, 'i knew that was going to happen to a bum'] predicted a knockout victory, i don't think anybody expected Cotto to win in that fashion. But watching cotto in the ring, one of the first things i thought was, 'this guy can still make 47.' So when Freddie says they're big enough for 160, i don't know wtf he's talking about? Cotto's not big at 54, why not try to at least get a catchweight?

I would love to watch this fight however. canelo sounds good and all, but that 4th division versus the undisputed best at 160 is the choice i'd make.

[Thickback]

Still rather see Cotto at 147 where he has more options and people his size.

Although I do give him a good chance vs Canelo. But not a healthy Martinez.

Great athlete, but there's *****s in his armor and Roach sees weakness...you've said the same things last time and look what happened.
