    Exactly, and he's alluding that Freddie Roach is the difference maker and for the reason I feel is that he (Cotto) is trying to convince himself that Roach makes the difference and makes him a better fighter.

    I think Marquez' opinion carries more weight than Cotto's and he's giving the edge to Mayweather citing Mayweather being the smarter and more defensive fighter.

    Being under the same trainer, he couldn't say anything else.

    100% useless prediction.

    Well you can also argue that since he has experience against Floyd and he knows how Freddy conducts training, he has more insight than most. At the end of the day, anything that anyone says is nothing but pure speculation because no matter how much we disect the potential outcome nothing is certai. It will all boil down to how those 2 perform come fight night. Anyone who says Manny wil destory Floyd or Floyd will give Manny a boxing lessons is just talking out of his a$$. I'd love to see those people bet EVERYTHING they have since they're so sure because if they can't then that means they know that their fighter could lose.

    This is the foundation for a Pacquiao victory. Fans have theorized before that it's Manny's feet which concern Mayweather. Floyd holds natural aces in range and elusiveness but that quick-burst style has the potential to overcome them. Manny often threatens to pounce, feinting in and out and then pounces. This could fluster Mayweather as he second guesses whether to counter or cover up. His desire to get out of every engagement squeaky clean might work against him, cause him to drop rounds.

    The main issue for Manny - can he keep up the pace needed?
