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

[mrjoeblive]

If I were Cotto i would look to fight Martinez. He put up a valiant effort against Mayweather but no way he gets close to doing even that in a rematch. But hey, how many good fights are out there for Mayweather?

I think a maravilla fight would be floyds best option. Aside from martinez though cotto might be the next best option. The roach angle could be used to hype up the improved cotto angle.

here here !!! I STAND CORRECTED !!!

Its more than obvious that a fighter needs the right trainer that meshes with him.

Cotto did NOT look shop worn with Freddie ROACH !!!

That cuban bastich doesn't know S### about fighters, did NOT have him in any shape mind nor body to face a quick rabbit like May JR.

Whats more obvious to me is that ROACH should have been Cottos Coach all along his whole career !!

May JR has the right trainer for him , the rabbit style, got a rabbit minded Coach, old man SR, both mesh perfectly, both are RABBIT running defensive minded pot shotters

Cotto was an OFFENSIVE minded fighter during the first and before Margo fight, but had the wrong trainer. Cotto didn't go to the body of Margo in the first fight

Roach BROUGHT it all back. I could not believe my eyes, I won't forget that and second guess Roach again

Can ROACH and COTTO catch da Rabbit ? I won't doubt it as long as COTTO responds to ROACH.

You could see the CHEMISTRY in ROACH and COTTO and especially during the interview in the ring with Max, Cotto looking on, waiting to hear what Roach would say and after the embrace of thanks from both Roach and Cotto.

I would love to have seen the Cotto that fought Sat nite fight the RABBIT crossed with a Chicken in his next fight.

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

hmmmmmmmmm ??? PURE #1 grade johnson grass BullShi# !!!!!

[twosweethooks]

loooooooool


Ok Freddie. You guys beat Delvin freaking Rodriguez, you know that right?

I know it's been a while since you had a good win as a trainer but don't let it go to your head.

Taking you lunatics one by one or in groups:

IT ain't about Delvin its about COTTO !!! COTTO has not fought like this since before Margo 1.

Roach did the unthinkable, took a seemly washed up worn out fighter and took him back to his roots and he is ALIVE and WELL

can Cotto catch the Rab*****ickencross ? I would love to pay to see that again with Cotto fighting under ROACH

[twosweethooks]

See its s**t like this that f**ks up cottos win...
So he beats a soft comeback fighter nobody knows an all the sudden roach is talkin hes ready for floyd.....he would have beat floyd if........understand the level of your competition an then talk!!!!!!!!

HA !!! You and da groupies don't get it hahahaha

Its NOT about the competition, its HOW COTTO performed from the bell to the end that counted.

When was the last time you saw Cotto fight like that ? Delvin was a much better fighter than yall give credit for, like the two fighter Cotto had after the Pac fight, Cotto looked terrible against b fighters

and

how sluggish he looked, old and chubby worn out looking against Mayweather

but

LOOK at Cotto just before the bell Sat nite , he Looked like he was taking ped's but I would bet your big toes that he did NOT, he simply had the Trainer for the Fighter together FINALLY !!

Roach brought the Best COTTO out of ALLLLLLLLL Cottos trainers.

Roach is a great trainer, one of the best in the sport. You just say he isnt because you're a sour little flom.

He is talking bollocks here though.

If roach was so great how come he was unable to better prepare pac vs jmm? He had 3 close fights with jmm that could have went the other way and one that fans saw pac get ko'd after getting hit over and over again with the same punch. Most fans thought jmm won the 3rd fight even the pro pac crowd boo'd the decision and threw bottles at him. Roach fighters are not that well prepped for matches. He should have been able to prepare pac and neutralize jmm's right hand. All the while before each match roach would swear pac was going to ko jmm. And even would say how pac must look good in winning vs jmm only to not look that great.it seems like they never changed the fight plan. And fought the same fight every time. Listen to roach in the corner, he never gives any real instruction he sounds clueless. He does not have the ability to change fight strategy during the fight. And how can you be a trainer and not teach defense? Cotto is a great fighter and would look good vs most fighters.

[twosweethooks]

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.

Mang , yer wrong, the rematch should be made with Cotto.

[twosweethooks]

not only roach is'nt a great trainer. he's also a idiot.

Have you looked into the mirror lately ?

Lol what you fail to see is that floyd does not fight the same way. Each fight equals a new fight strategy designed to take away the opponents best assets and confuse him. No one thought he would stay in the pocket like that vs canelo. And cotto was in the best shape he had been in for some time vs floyd he fought the entire fight. Roach fighters fight the same way to their detriment. With roach in his corner cotto would be a more offensive fighter which would play right into a counter punchers hands. And one would think pac fans would hold roach accountable for not having pac better prepared vs jmm. Nacho came out looking like the much better trainer.

floyd WILL fight cotto again. it's all about the money and cotto's the 3rd most bankable ppv star in boxing.
