    I dnt get how people can say Pac is a better puncher...The all round boxer could be a toss up but punching defo goes to Cotto.

    Here we go again with the Bulll****.

    You don't beat Mosley unless you have boxing skill.

    Cotto is more of a complete fighter. But Pac will still take his head off.

    People read way too much into Pac's easy win over Hatton and Cotto's hard win over Clottey. Cotto's win is much more impressive because his opponent actually had a chance and, after the cut, Cotto had to change up everything to win.

    Cotto's probably the harder puncher at this weight, but p4p its Pacquiao.

    You know, the amount of time Roach has to give his opinion on everything in boxing, I'm surprised he gets time to train Pacquiao.

    Funny how these Cotto fans go from

    Roach: "We cannot plan to knock out Cotto"
    Cotto fans: "Roach knows whats up, Pacman cannot KO Cotto"

    to

    Roach: "Pacquiao is a more complete fighter than Cotto"
    Cotto fans: "Roach is delusional as always"

    The ability to understand a conflicting statement is a mark of intelligence in which you dont have...

    Roach is smart enough to know Cotto isn't a joke, but dumb enough to think his fighter has what it takes to beat Cotto.

    Come Nov.14th...and all this bull**** will lay to rest. Words, training, who's more better than who...it's all bull**** until the final bell has rung.

    I don't understand where all this talk about Roach's reverse psychology comes from...

    Roach isn't one to make ploys. He ****in' seriously believes he can get the better of the exchanges between him and Cotto. It's not something to get inside Cotto's head. It's merely Roach saying that he believes Pacquiao has what it takes to fight fire with fire against Cotto...and this would be ****in' funny to watch when he sees he doesnt and will command Pacquiao to fight like Khan and just throw 1-2's and win a UD.

    i think he (pac) "can" (not sure but i think he really can) get the upperhand when it comes to exchanges. but considering cotto's power, i dont think roach will really risk it. IMO they should just capitalize on pacs footwork and agility and fight a smart fight and not try to go for the KO.

    Cotto is a "classic boxer". He's more "pleasing" to the eye, but boxing is about what you do and how you do it in the ring. Based on accomplishments and performances PAC is without question a more complete fighter. He has more dynamics and more tools, therefore he has the more complete game. Better puncher.....had to tell. Technically Cotto has better form but PAC is more effective b/c he's more accurate.
