        Sounds like the Cotto and Pac are friends comment is BS, sounds like they are conserving the option of a rematch some day. These two are my favorite active fighters with Verdejo being my favorite prospect.

          Definitely one of Roach's best interviews in a long time.

            I would love for Roach to take Canelo under his wing.

              I think Freddie would train Cotto, Freddie kind of threw a shot at Manny being distant and only talking to him in camp, in comparison to Cotto who calls him out the blue. shows him training videos and such

                I agree it sounded like he appreciates Cotto's work ethics more.

                  It's interesting how Roach's face lit up when he was asked about Cotto vs Canelo. Almost as if he just sees something in that match up that strongly benefits Cotto. I personally don't know, I think Cotto looks great under Roach, but I give Canelo a slight edge right now, because of his youth, freshness and punching power.

                    Cotto's weakness has been activity, Canelo doesn't possess that..............
