Cotto: Roach please learn your role & I can care less if Mayweather dont fight me!

atsch

While floyd was with arum, floyd wanted to fight cotto at 140 just like he wanted to fight hatton at 140 both camps not fighters, turned him down. FACT:deal

If you dont believe go ask cotto's uncle.

 

**** son, this will be a brawl.

 

Cotto is focused and you can sense the anger in him.Pacquiao better het ready because he wont be faster than Cotto.He gets caught too much so Cotto will slow him down before doing a Zab Judah on him.I smell some cuts on Pacquiao,gonna be brutal

 

you gotta love Cotto, thats one honest guy..and hes right.

 

Cotto in an interview actually said "Mayweather is ducking me." It's not really calling out, but it shows that he wants to fight

 

Let's stop throwing out these so-called facts b/c the only time Floyd mentioned Cotto was in an interview after a fight. I think merchant asked about Cotto and Floyd said Cotto was too green.

Floyd never ever said he wanted to fight Cotto. Not only that, but you saying that he did want to fight Cotto contradicts all of Floyds claims to fight the biggest starts for money.

Floyd barely thinks Cotto is big draw now, so why the hell would he have fought him at 140 when he was less known. Get your facts straight man. Floyd never challenged Cotto, at least not publicly.

 

Well said. I was deabting with a friend about this very same thing the night Floyd vs fought Marquez. I told him pretty much the same exact thing you just said.

 

Floyd was already retired when the Cotto/Margo fight was made and even if Arum had already planned it (which he did) if Floyd wasn't retired he could have fought the winner down the road. Everybody knows Arum's plans to build and protect his fighters to later match them head to head, that doesn't mean Floyd couldn't get a fight with them, but he was retired and wanted no part of them or anybody for that matter. It always makes me smile when people use lines like the one marked. It's always hypothetically accusing others of what they are doing :yep I usually try and respect all fighters and posters so I'm sure (like a lot of people) you are directing issues with me that don't really apply to me.

 

nice article.

 

i couldnt agree with him more about roach

 

You said this with such conviction that anyone that doesn't know boxing would have believed you....lol. He turned down 8 million dollar fight to allegedly make 8 million and one dollar to fight Baldomir for the lineal title and I don't remember what alphabet belt Baldo took from Judah. I believe it was the WBC.

Check your facts before calling people "newbs to boxing"

 

Floyd did say that to shane, he said he needs to discuss that with Ellebere.... its in that video thats floating around here.....

 

exactly

 

Cotto will get credit but I wouldnt exactly say it warrants a parade for the win, and I am not saying Manny is an over rated fighter I am saying Mannys wins in certain fights are vastly over rated.....

this is similar to Tysons release from Prison, he came back to the sport fighting McNealy,Bruno,Mathis and Seldon, those four names there of which two held belts, you cant really say that he was prepaired from those fights for a big step up....

And that step up came through Holyfield, and look what happend there, its the way I see this fight, Pacquiaos step up is Cotto, and I wont over rate those wins as has been the case here on the forums, yes they are good wins but are they good enough to prepair him for this step up in class?

if I were roach I would be a bit nervous knowing my fighter hasnt fought anybody north of 130 that can crack, honestly as a trainer you would want to know that your fighter can deal with the in comming as well as the out going, heading into a fight of this magnitude...... And they havent had a fight that can properly asses exactly where Manny Pacquiao stands at this higher weight....

So come November 14th being that he has had some good match making, the out come may come as a shocker to Pac fans and Team Pac...... I just dont think they realize what they got themselves into....

 

YES I DO KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS...U needa learn to give fighters credit where its due though..ur always bashing Floyd and it takes away from ur posts..Also I noticed u mainly post on Floyd...why dont u post on other fighters as much as u post on Floyd?

Why is it that you always in the Floyd threads or starting em when u cant stand him??
