Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao and Cotto Will Not Spar in Camp

[J The UnBiased]

Could you suggest any other southpaws that Cotto should spar against? Can you think of anyone else who could similarly imitate Martinez's style?

I'd give Lara the best shot. I've heard rumors that he's one of the most accurate copy cats in the sport. I've never been in the gym with him though.

why would there need to be a rematch, pacquiao knocked cotto out.

A Cotto who was arguably coming off a loss and at a cw. All factors. I give Manny his credit, but let's not act like it was fight on the up and up.

PAC offered cotto a rematch at 147. Cotto turned it down and would only take a rematch at 154. Cotto has the perfect frame to fight at 147 just too lazy to do it. Hope after he whoops Martinez he comes back down and not get too brave and defend that title. Imagen of he gets ****y enough to fight GGG.

But, he offered the rematch at 147, when Cotto was already 3 fights deep at Jr. Middle. Let's not tell half truths here because you're a fan of someone.

Yes, I should be drug tested for believing that a full fledged got damn Middle Weight is more powerful than a guy who really should be fighting at 140 pounds. I'm high.

Full fledged? Remember why Martinez is fighting at 160?? After the pau William fight he couldn't land a big fight at 154 so he jumped at the chance to fight pavlik at 160. It wasn't like Martinez couldn't make 154 anymore. He could still make 154 right now. Moreover, can you name a fight where Martinez came in at the middle limit of 160 And not below? He comes in 159-158 for all his fights so he's clearly not a "full fledged" middle weight fighter.

Lol, dude chill out. I'm not making excuses just pointing out facts. He was offered the fight but declined due to the contract weight. That's all buddy

to be fair, maravilla has been fighting at middleweight for years and has been the champ there for a long time. cotto IS fighting the real MW champ

You'd have to ask Manny and Bob. They were the ones that pushed so hard for it only to back out and chose Marquez instead. After Cotto refused a 150 CW BTW.

So you're saying that Sergio never grew into the weight class? Sergio could make 154 pounds in 2014?
