Cotto's gonna be wearing pink ( for real)

This was on the news a few months ago, something about supporting Susan G Komen.

"Nuestro uniforme el día de la pelea tendrá los colores rosado y blanco de Susan G. Komen", agregó el púgil, arrancando aplausos de una audiencia que se dio cita a la conferencia de prensa para el anuncio de la nueva campaña y la carrera de la citada entidad en el Coliseo de Puerto Rico Miguel Agrelot, en Hato Rey.

"Our gear will have Susan G. Komen's white and pink colors".

Please tell me where he said anyone was scared of him. I'll wait.

"When he quit as Michael Moorer's trainer and then [Moorer's manager] John Davimos hired me, [Teddy] came to the hotel the night before I was announced and beat [Davimos] up....broke his nose...and then he looked at me, and I said 'I'm not John Davimos' and I stood there and he walked away," Roach said.

Please tell me what Roach is trying to say there? He's clearly saying Teddy beat this dude up then looked at me I told him something and he was scared to fight me and backed away. This is not the first tall tale story Roach has said that makes no sense and makes it seem like grown men and boxers are afraid of some 5'5 frail 55 year old dude with the shakes. Teddy, Cotto, freaking Ariza none of these dudes are scared of Roach and he's lucky they either walked away or people broke it up because that saved Roach's life. Luckily the Ariza kick was on video otherwise I'm sure his version of the story was that he chased Ariza down the hall and he was shaking in his boots in fear of Roach. Instead you saw a non boxing p@ssy like Ariza kick him and him scream for help and about pressing charges lol Luckily people pulled the Garcia camp off and saved this phony tough guys life. Just train and stop starting **** with people.

So we go from Cotto to Atlas?

One, in regards to COTTO, Roach basically said that he stood his ground when Cotto tried to intimidate him.

Two, regarding Atlas, he did the same thing.
Only difference here, he still dislikes Atlas.

I'm responding to the idiot who quoted me where I clearly mentioned the Teddy incident. Fact is Roach has this delusion where he starts fights with people and then tells stories after the fact making it seem like anyone is scared or backing down from him. He's literally a small "very sick" senior citizen. Nobody is scared or backing down from him. If they don't beat his @ss it's either out of sympathy or because other people were there to break it up. He's too old to be starting this much crap with people. He's a great trainer just train and stop with these BS tough guy stories.

I was at the weigh in for this fight and I remember a commotion on stage but I thought it was between Roach and Cotto than irrelevant trainer not Cotto and Roach.

[Teetotaler]

Well Roach is crippled so Cotto would of had no problem fighting him.

The ego and delusion in Freddie is amazing. You hear these stories out his mouth and can't help but laugh. Like for real you think Cotto was scared of you? You old as hell with parkinsons and even in your prime when you were a fighter you weren't half the fighter as Cotto. He would of beaten the breaks off you and so would of Teddy Atlas. Punk azz Ariza had no problem kicking you on camera and you did nothing. But you listen to Freddie tell it all these guys are running scared and backing down from his old fool. lol

Green K. Truth be told.

Because he used to be a professional fighter. He was paid to punch other people. Do you think it's a great idea for someone who isn't or wasn't a fighter to pick a fight with someone who is or used to be? The answer is no. Do you remember when floyds roided up bodyguards told Robert Garcia at the mayweather-maidana weigh in that they would ragdoll him? Robert Garcia was just going "whooooo...whooooo..." He would have beat the breaks off of those idiots. Many people here have no concept of what fighting a trained fighter would turn out as. It's like having some hipster from San Francisco pick up a rifle and try to outshoot a navy seal. Not gonna happen. I respect roach for being a man and not backing down. Say what you mean and do what you say. Can't disrespect a man for that.

Exactly. Thank you.

The fact is, that Cotto is the far superior boxer--much better balance and foot movement and he can hit from both sides. But if Canelo tags him a couple of times early, it'll make Cotto remember those painful bouts with Margarito and Pacquiao. I don't think he can stand up to continuous punishment.
