Comments Thread For: Roach: Marquez was The First Choice For Miguel Cotto's Return

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Freddie Roach, who trains Puerto Rican superstar Miguel Cotto, is disappointed that a deal wasn't reached for a fight with Juan Manuel Marquez. Cotto was hoping to face Marquez in a battle of former four division world champions. The two fighters were unable to to reach an agreement on the weight - which is the main factor in the negotiations falling through. Marquez was very firm that he wouldn't fight above the welterweight limit of 147-pounds. Cotto wanted something a little closer to 150-pounds.

JMM is no 150lbs, he would give Cotto close to 15lbs on fight night, glad this fight never happened JMM is too small for the now Cotto .

Nah but cotto would definitely utilize his size, still don't know why Marquez wouldn't take it he's obviously looking for another fight and doesn't want to just retire or fight a nobody.

We know Freddy.... You just wanted another old, past his prime, boxer with crippled knees for your boy Cotto. I don't blame you... That's the only way he can win a fight these days.

****ing roach likes to hold grudges. if his fighter at 140 loses to someone else, roach will try to make pac fight that guy, and when pac loses then roach tries to get his bigger fighter (cotto) to fight that guy that beat pac lol.

If not the basically retired Marquez, the basically retired Kirkland. Why can't Cotto fight an active fighter?
