    Comments Thread For: Roach: Cotto Would've Been Criticized for Beating Smaller Garcia

    NEW YORK As much as some fans and media might've wanted to see Mikey Garcia move up two more divisions to challenge Miguel Cotto, Freddie Roach is glad it didn't happen. Roach is confident Cotto would've beaten Garcia and just as sure his fighter wouldn't have received the appropriate credit for giving Garcia his first defeat because Garcia is "too small." Garcia (37-0, 30 KOs) revealed last week that he turned down a shot at Cotto on December 2 at Madison Square Garden because he didn't want to sign a long-term contract with Golden Boy Promotions, Cotto's promoter, to get that high-profile fight.

    Same reason people will be saying when Lomachenko beats Rigo.

      Well, as long as he's not getting criticized for this opponent I guess.

        So I guess saying that he fought a C-level fighter to end his career is better than beating an A-level smaller guy... Riiiiiight... sure it is... We believe you Freddie.

              Garcia just fought Broner @ 140. Roach and Arum said multiple times that Manny could easily make 140.

              Sounds like ducking excuses to me.

                  No one cares about Cotto and Cotto's stagnant career of losses

                  Cotto loses most all big fights and gets battered. The great Antonio Viva'Margarito the Aztec War god of mexico battered Cotto senseless and left Cotto slumped in the corner. Viva' Antonio the great warrior.

                    However, Ali fights at 147 and Cotto is a 154 titleholder. He is also a "smaller guy". He was in consideration for fight JMM who is also a "smaller guy" and JMM is super old and probably about the same size as Mikey. Other guys who have not fought at 154 or higher who Cotto's team has considered include Spence, Bradley, Vargas, and DSG. Of course, Mikey is smaller than all those guys, but don't sit up here and pretend like Cotto is only considering people his size. Man, these guys are bizarre with their excuses...
