Comments Thread For: Roach: With Me in The Corner, Cotto Would've Beat Floyd

Can't blame Freddie for trying to get paid...He's like a championship fighter who's a bit long in the tooth and seeking that golden parachute fight. That Pacquiao money just isn't what it used to be.

Regarding Freddie's comment, I disagree. Cotto would have been more open to counters being that Freddie trains aggressive offense and not defense. Because these 2 are elite boxers and HOFers, I wouldn't mind seeing a second fight. But with Floyd Sr. now in the corner, the more offensive minded Cotto faces a much better Floyd....

Cotto did win, he just got robbed

Not surprising since Floyd gets more gift decisions than anybody in boxing

statement confirms what the majority of boxing scene knows, that your boxing knowledge is severely limited. Your only reason for being here is to slob pac and tell the world how much you hate floyd. Most of the post acknowledge floyd beat cotto in a spirited match. And even though cotto lost, he gained a ton of respect from fans and even from floyd. The cotto bout caused floyd to bring back floyd sr to improve his defense. Its too bad you cannot give credit where credit is due.

I agree with ROACH,FLOYD was bleeding and lost the rounds when COTTO was offensive;with movements and pressing throwing his combos in this shape with ROACH i believe seriously COTTO would have won more rounds to go out victorious. FLOYD had his best moments when COTTO started to be more defensive.

[brick wall]

not really...cotto will always have problems with fighters who got speed and who can beat him to the punch.

as to coach though, i agree that roach is a better fit for cotto because cotto's style is more effective when he puts more focus on offense and roach is that kind of coach.

If cotto fights floyd again, cotto is gonna get carved and served. Roach is talking out of his asss.

Add in the fact he was beating a roided opponent before he took his loss.

Who says jmm was on peds? He has NEVER FAILED a drug test in his entire career!!!!! He passed the after bout drug test. You guys should stop with the defamatory remarks. The commission did its job like pac fans have been saying all along and should be allowed to continue to have oversight of all pacs fights. Pacs fans said its the commissions job to administer drug test and they have done such a great job that no fighter should ask for test he has NEVER asked for in any previous fights.

Would rather see this than a Khan match IMO.

lol cotto beats up a bum now he can beat floyd LMFAO.

Man I like how they gassing this knee taker up, just the beat down instore for him in the future gonna be fun to watch, I can see it now.

Yeah, and I'm LMFAO with u. Rodriguez was beaten before the first bell rang. Roach is just playing word games trying to get a big money fight for Cotto. Money said before the fight that he was going to fight Cotto's fight and stay in the pocket. He could have stuck, moved and boxed for 12 rds and never would have received a bloody nose, which got lots of Mayweather haters excited.

I though the first fight was entertaining. I think I had Cotto winning 3 rounds, but mostly every round was competitive. I would welcome a rematch. I'd much rather see them two dance again than Khan vs Mayweather.
