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

Cotto and Mikey wouldnt be that big of a size difference actually, weight difference ? Yes

Both 1.7m and Mikey has a 3cm reach advantage

Roach sounds so lame when he states he is "not sure what kind of a draw is Mikey Garcia" if he is so worried about what kind of crowds his opponent can draw then why the F is he fighting S.Ali? People in boxing sound so ****** complaining about the star power of opponents and then go sign to fight someone more obscure.

no one would ever criticize him for beating smaller ali

Garcia for the Broner fight came in fight night at 150 approximately and was soft. Cotto for his last fight came in at 163 and was lean and solid.
That is a HUGE natural size difference. Cotto would of caught so much heat if he fought Garcia.

Look at my quote, I'm specifically criticizing Roach's reason Manny ducked the fight. Cotto I'm fine with due to size, too much, but Manny? That easily could have happened @140.

My b. Yes Manny at this stage of his career wants no part of fighters like Garcia & Crawford
