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

[turnedup]

Well we might find that out because honestly past maybe a garcia showdown what other exciting name is there? GGG isn't coming to 154, Sergio might...might...but GBP isn't mentioning him for shhh because he's with dibella, Khan? Alexander? Thurman? None of those are big ppv events and Canelo isn't going to rematch so Cotto may be a viable option late 2014.

Cotto should do a rematch with Trout

The way Miguel Cotto looked sharp as hell, I'm not convinced just yet, fight Trout, beat Trout and then I will believe Cotto of old is back.

To those saying it was just his level of opposition, no. He was more dedicated to the body attack, and his shots were razor razor sharp compared to how he was whinging them against Trout.

As to the version that fought Floyd, I think that was a pretty good version... but better than that crazy, light on his feet, destruction mode version? I don't know about that. I think he may have stumbled on a good dynamic with Roach, something lit a fire under his ass anyway.

Diaz is a good trainer but hailing from the cuban boxing system he gonna be all about boxing and technician stuff. Roach's approach is right with Cotto. Take him back to his prime roots.

And with Floyd Sr. in Floyds corner he's fighting the style he needs to fight. Leave it alone Roach!

ya roach and if mayweather sr was in floyds it would not of been as close. It might be true but man get a grip i like roach but he obviously over values his fighters

ya i agree with that i do think roach is perfect for cotto but lets not get carried away i like roach and cotto and i think this is more of a way to give cotto more confidence honestly

Great! Get ready for the "Floyd is ducking the Cotto rematch" threads to start popping up.

[HanzGruber]

Hilarity. Roach has the blueprint

[Tobi.G]

no disrespect to Roach but Pedro Diaz is 10x better then him

Not for Cotto.

Roach has overstepped the mark here, Pedro Diaz knows boxing, knows the science of boxing and Roach needs to think before he opens his mouth. I think too much emphasis is placed on trainers especially for boxers as experienced as Miguel. Couldn't see him beating Floyd period.
