Comments Thread For: Diaz: Cotto, Now With Roach, May Defeat Mayweather

[Beercules]

Diaz is a class act.

Cotto is of course more offensive with Roach. But I think a lot of people are overestimating his last two wins. Sergio is shot and Rodriguez isn't anything to brag about. With Roach we probably get a better fight. But I'd expect Floyd to win another 8-4/9-3 type ud. It's a rematch and Cotto hasn't changed that much from the first fight. He just fought against the perfect punching bags. It's just a $ fight!

No thanks, I'd rather see a fight with Manny or Khan

I honestly think Cotto was better under Diaz, he was more versatile with better defense.

No offence to Diaz, but we've seen that fight. That was apparently the best Cotto at the time and it wasn't really that close IMO. Bring on Manny Pacquiao 1 & 2 for Floyd's last two fights.

I've always said that IMO, Diaz is one of the best trainers. He's like a sports nutritionist, PHD in sports science, personal trainer, and extremely learned, old school boxing coach in one.

He combines the new school with the old school. Great trainer.

I honestly think Cotto is Cotto, though; whether it's the more reserved one emphasizing boxing off the back foot, and jab under Diaz, or leading with the left hook/fighting on the front foot/aggressive under Roach.

He still loses to Mayweather 10-2/9-3.

IMO FMJ still beats Cotto. I think a trainer can vastly improve a prospect but when it comes to a seasoned pro, the only thing a new trainer can do is provide a different type of game plan. that vet will stick to the new game plan until they get stunned or hurt, or tired, then they will revert back to their old habits.

i'll say it like this...diaz knows boxing..and miguel looks sharp..ppl on hating on that rematch b/c its floyd...it is now proven that floyd is not ducking manny and if the fight doesnt happen its looking more like a network thing..but the haters still want to blame floyd..but at the end of the day they are the same clowns who supported PacMorales3 and PacBarrera2...as if those fights were needed..lol they celebrate his titles he won in those fights..its a freaking joke..bias ppl that think they ruin legacies due to their bias..
