    At least somebody at the Pac camp thinks this. Pac is basing Cotto's skills off of the Clottey fight. Not a very good gauge.

    Is the Parkinson affecting Roach that much already??? Last week he was saying Cotto was "damaged goods". By the way, the reason he want to take MAnny to Toluca, Mexico is because Manny only can stay 3 more weeks in USA for this year before having to pay a lot of money in taxes to the IRS. So, training in California would be more expensive than taking the whole team to Mexico. That is not a bad idea, considering there is also good elevation which will help his stamina. I like the fact Cotto will move out of Puerto RIco for most of his camp, but there were better choices than Florida. He should have talk to Oscar, who lives in PR and rent that place in Big Bear California. Cotto needs all the stamina he can get for this fight.

    I question whether you're a boxing fan at all. I liken you to one of those bimbos who reads celebrity magazines to see what they're eating for breakfast. In your case you seem obsessed with Floyd's status, PPV sales etc. Most of the rest of us just prefer to see good fights and want to see the future of the sport protected.

    You are both delusionals:rofl


    " Manny Pacquiao is indeed the “Greatest Fighter of the Decade” and no less than the “Bible of Boxing” has confirmed this.
    The Ring Magazine has ranked Pacquiao as the greatest in 2000s, placing him among the best fighters in the past 10 decades including “Hammerin’” Henry Armstrong, “Sugar” Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali and “Sugar” Ray Leonard.
    The “Greatest” list was compiled by Ring Magazine’s Michael Rosenthal, who ranked former top pound-for-pound fighter Floyd Mayweather Jr. as a mere second placer."

    Makes sense... I believe Cotto could beat every single fighter Pacman has up to date... so... Kudos.

    I honestly feel that Roach is starting to get un easy about the fight, I really think he would have rather had Mayweather who is and will be in defense mode if he fought Manny, its a easier fight for Manny to fight Floyd becuase of the low work rate and Floyd loves to stay on the ropes a dangerous place to be when fighting Manny.

    I think as the fight gets closer we are going to hear or possibly see the stress that Roach is under regarding this fight, I think honestly he allowed Mannys recent string of wins to get to his head, Deep down he knows that those wins as good as they are they were still a product of good matchmaking.

    Floyd status and PPV sales are mutually inclusive, there is a reason why when he was P4P number 1 and infront of the camera the sport was doing its best figures.

    Please dont question my fandom, I've probably forgotten more about the sport then you'll ever know.

    Roach knows whats up. Cotto is no cake walk. Manny is in for the fight of his life and he better take this seriously and get his ass to training.
