Damn I am tired of supid comments and gossip. Whoever thinks Pacquiao wasn't training before Roach got to the Phillipines is ****ing delusional. Pacquiao, just like Floyd, is a gym rat. Those guys can't be without training. They go run by themselves if they have to. Probably not a full training. But I assure he started the "camp" already in a good shape. Cotto also started early. He knows this fight might be a do or die fight for him. I expect him to be in the best shape of his life. The only thing I don't like is Cotto looks way too comfortable in the videos we have seen. Nobody pushing him. Nobody telling him to move faster, to hit harder, nothing. I hope that is only when the cameras are on. I hope behind the camera they push him to the max. Thats the only way he could beat Pacquiao. Comfortable is not good. That said I am expecting both of them in the best shape of their lifes. I expect the fight to go at least 8 rounds if not the distance. Whoever wins, it will be a great fight.
Cotto is generally a relaxed type of guy. Whatever methods he's used so far in his career, it seems to have worked.
Question is, will people accept the "He may have over trained..." or the "There's too much distraction around him?!" I hope not.
I hate it too.. but alot of it is promotion.. so I suppose I can live with it if its good for the sport in a way.. no matter how irritating it is..
Hey just as an interesting fact......Did you know Freddie Roach fought Hector "Macho" Camacho and Greg Haugen??????????
