Comments Thread For: Roach Says Cotto's Punching Power Will Make Statement

[Bronx2245]

Putting the catchweight of 145 to the side, let's not forget what Margarito did in 2008 (Cotto fought Manny a year later)! That was horrible, and Margarito should've never been allowed to fight again. I think that Arum giving Margarito another fight was just as horrible! I believe that's why Cotto left TR. Arum tried to get Cotto a rematch before Cotto fought Floyd, but this time the wanted Cotto to come down to 150 from 154, and Cotto declined. I think we'll see the best Cotto since 2009 on June 7th.

Just to clarify, Arum tried to get Cotto a rematch with Manny @ 150.

I'm sure Chavez Jr hits much harder than Cotto. Cotto will be knock out

Chavez jr balloons up to Heavyweight on fight night... of course he is going to hit like a mule... not much skill tho.

lol he said the exact same thing about khan also lol.

And khan was great with roach. Only lost to Danny "lucky, eyes closed left hook" garcia but a lot of great victories. I won't count the BS lost to Peterson

It doesn't worth to even mention Margarito's name because a certified cheater is a disgrace to the sport and his records and achievements need to be erased from Boxing books. The truth is that Cotto redeemed himself from that defeat, and as we have seen an injured Martinez that hardly won his last fights, by the other hand we've seen an improved Cotto who gets better and better. I agree in this one with Roach and give the knockout to Cotto and the desicion to Martinez if the fight goes to the distance.
