wrong, cottos skills and hand speed are being very underrated here. he will prove that once again on nov. 14th.
He hits harder and is better defensively. So basically he's better defensively, he's better on offense, he has more speed, and power.
Reg wants to see PAc-Floyd badly lol... I agree with your points too Reg, but there is one flaw PAc has. He becomes ordinary if you make it tough on him after 4-5 rounds.
On a p4p basis he definately is a harder puncher. He may even be a harder puncher straight up. When have you seen Cotto lay anyone out like Pac did to Diaz and Hatton? Remember, he was the smaller fighter in these fights. Cotto is an accumulation puncher. You don't really see him taking guys out with one shot.
Dude I followed Cotto's whole career. He has always been able to fight going forward and backwards and throws beautiful combinations along with a good jab. Yeah he gets hit so does Pac,JMM,EM even floyd has been buzzed a few times. But Cotto's defense is pretty good. Its cool you dont have like Cotto but you cant deny the skills. Anyhow I would say if you can outbox Mosley thats pretty dam good.
Is calling pacquiao by his first and middle names give you a big orgasm? There's no shame in admitting it. You must be having wet dreams just dreaming about the name emmanuel dapidran
I mean, it was funny for about the first week... I guess he also goes with Cassius and Walker Smith Jr...
Why are you always trying to expain to us what someone meant ? We can read and hear and understand the context it was in.... Roach is doing a lot of trash talk and Pacquiasso is not exempt !!!! Again, come Nov 14th they will both be in for a rude awakening with Pacquiasso belly up in the 7th round !!!!!
Freddy is just telling the truth. Freddy spies weaknesses in Pac's opponents. Notice they left Shane alone and chose Cotto instead.
I am not a major Fan of Roach, but its hard not to admire his boxing knowledge, predictions and fighter preperation/game plan for each fight. One again i think what he said is bang on the money and will pan out as expected. The thing about Roach is he wont take on a fight unless he is pretty much sure of a victory (Look at Khans past few and future fights as proof). I agree that Cotto is not looking as good as he used to and also feel he lost his last fight even with the knockdown. I feel there is no problem telling it like it is. Guess we will have to wait and see though.
So it's official if Pacquiao beats Cotto is cause Cotto is a shot fighter. Thanks Roach for saying it now Pacquiao won't get credit from me if he does win.
