Comments Thread For: Mayweather Rips Roach For His Work In Cotto’s Corner

[tredh]

IMO Cotto is not a real boxer which is what he was trying to do in that fight. Cotto moved around the ring wasting energy and without a plan. It looked like Cotto was moving just because he thought that is what boxers are supposed to do. He didn't move to walk Canelo into something or get set to throw a combo while Canelo was walking straight to him and needed to get himself set to throw something. It was just a bunch of wasted motion the whole damn fight. Cotto looked dumb as hell to me in this fight.

IMO it showed that if Cotto can't impose his size on his opponent then he is lost.

Roach would not be catching hell right now if his pre-fight hype wasn't so disrespectful! "Floyd is a coward, I doubt if he actually shows up..." "Canelo has stamina problems, he was lazy in my gym..." These kind of statements make the poor performances by Manny and Miguel much worse! That being said, Cotto might whoop one of the Charlo Bros., and Manny might beat Crawford, it's just a fact that both Manny and Cotto both lost the biggest fights of their lives...and both were trained by Freddie Roach!

Freddie and Cotto have great chemistry. I don't think Cotto is physically better now. I think Roach has his confidence up and his stamina up. Even after the loss I feel that way.

I do think Floyd was right that Roach should have told Miguel he was losing the fight. If Cotto would have picked up his activity he would have stolen at least one other round. Not that it would have mattered with the judges.

Roach's advice was still good. He told miguel canelo was slipping the jab. He told him to double it up and drive him back.

This ***** has to stop. I just want anyone to tell me what fighter throughout the history of boxing is still considered green after 43 fights? Canelo had 40+ fights before he fought Floyd but yall trying to tell he me was green GTFOH!!!!

Canelo was a pro 7 years at that point SMDH

Floyd wont fight him doe, Gayweather will get knocked out though....he goes on to 10-2 or 8-4 at worst, these media threats, then come the ready made excuses


no fighter with a 7 year 40+ fight career is green....sorry

same idiots who try to discredit Roy Jones win over Hopkins said Hopkins was green, even though he was like 94-5 as an amateur, had more pro fights than Jones, and was 28 freaking years old



When Floyd won his first title at 130 at the age of 21, was he green??? a prodigy??? or just the better fight???

Can't blame Roach. Roach and Cotto have been a perfect match since they hook up. Sometimes you just run into a younger better fighter.

You can't blame Roach for losing to Nelo anymore than you can blame Roach for Pacquiao losing to Maywesther.

Solid advice! And this is why I laugh at fools who bring up trout beat Canelo. That was OPEN scored fight Trout knew he was losing and did jack SHT about it! "No Heart" Trout.

He tried but he was swinging at a lot of air. People forget the fight and just go by what other people say. That fight Canelo surprised everyone by actually boxing rather than brawling and it took Trout out of his game plan. Trout was so prepared for an aggressive Canelo he didn't know what to do. When he tried to be assertive in the fight and bring the fight to Nelo he was put on his arse. Everyone conveniently forgets this.

Floyd has always been respectful to Cotto throughout their careers often praising Miguel and his achievements. He's often come to Cotto's defense in the past also.

They're not best friends but you can tell there is a mutual respect there as you'd be hard pressed to get either to say something bad about the other.

Even when they fought I'd never seen Floyd be as respectful to an opponent in the build up to the fight.
