Comments Thread For: Roach: Cotto Gave Advice on Mayweather, Picks Manny

[Dle]

Roach and Arum is just all talk. Talk of who may be wishing that PAC wins may 2. Cotto can only tell Manny how to lose. Team PAC seam to be grasping at straws trying to either sway the public or mind game the Mayweathers that has their on mind game in effect.

Cotto said the most difficult thing with Mayweather was his foot speed?

Really, of all factors??? Even if true, that's a little disappointing and not all that helpful.

Why would there be tension?

Yeah but that was part of business. It's not like pac vs cotto = Marg vs cotto. I think roach is just adding more Shiiet to it. That's how freddie is, he'll make something out of nothing then say it's ok now we got it all worked out.

Very helpful cause of how important distance will be for both fighters.

Manny is already at a 5in reach disadvantage so he has to close the distance to get in range to land his shots.

With that he could also tell Roach which way he felt Floyd moved better (ex. forwards, backwards or side to side). Which could possibly give Roach a better idea to attack Floyd to close that distance so Manny can get in range. It also might help tell Manny which way is better for him to get out of range after attacking to avoid possible counters.

A lot can be learned and implemented from that IMO.

So there should be no tension between two men who were not friends and still not friends when one beat the hell out of the other and played hardball with the catchweight.

Tell me how many of yall have been in a fight with a stranger (win, lose or draw) saw that person again with both recognizing who the other is and can honestly say it didn't feel a little awkward.

Not if I got paid for it. I'll prolly even asked him if he wants to beat me up again so we can make some more money lol. U guys act like its 2 street thugs fighting eachother in a alley or something lol

Wow, Freddie, Manny hasn't even won the fight yet, yet you want the credit? Roach, your ego needs to be checked! Honestly, if and when Manny loses this fight, I don't think Roach will be the same.

I like Cotto I just think he could've picked an area where he could give more insight and particulars than just "foot speed". I'm sure he elaborated a little to Freddie, but from Freddie's comments you get the impression not a lot more.

Surely it was Mayweather's upper body movement and spoiling that largely spoiled Cotto's success, for which are area's Cotto will have never quite experienced, and nor will have Pacman. Foot speed you'll experience a little with other foes and in sparring at times. My impression is the style, and level of defense techniques particularly with upper body and spoiling, are more specific to Floyd as for preparation.

I get what you saying but Freddie asked him his opinion on what got to him to most and "foot speed" was his answer.

Yes, I read that, thanks.

maybe he did and maybe freddie is just not telling everything that was said during that conversation.
