    Name one fight where Roach had anything to do with Cotto's style? He fought EXACTLY the same before and after Roach.
    You're either dealing with some serious hatred or dksab if you don't recognize Cotto was sharper and usually fought with a good strategy under Roach.

    That's all the difference a top fighter needs to tip the balance in some fights.

      There should have been two retirement announcements Saturday night. Give it up Freddie, it's over. Time to hang up the hearing aides.

        Judges used to give a Champion the benefit of the doubt in close or uneventful rounds. You would have to thoroughly beat the Champion to take his title. Now, judges treat championship fights with the same significance as a 4-rounder. Ali may have done enough to narrowly beat Cotto, but he didn't really do enough to win a world championship.

          Most of the people who post here seem to be motivated by simple hate. Small, immature people who seem to take pleasure in the misfortune of others, and love rubbing it in when somebody loses.
          Oh, sorry, I forgot that we're supposed to be dissing Cotto & Roach.

            Roach had this statement prepared, regardless of the nature of the L.

            Just talkin' **** as per usual, nothing to see here.

              Roach does nothing for fighter. It’s up to the fighters natural gifts. Roach just outlines how he should use their gifts round by round. Yet he should get ‘Trainer of the Year’ Ward for Saturday’s coaching.

                Hey Roach, isn’t that the same arm excuse for PAc losing to Floyd? This guy’s bugged out. Somebody get the Raid.

                    Roach I’ve always respected you. With that said, the Parkinson’s and other health issues look like they’ve caught up to you. It might be time to take a much less physical approach and just counsel
