I still can't help but think that Cotto is being severely underrated by Roach, Pac and many boxing fans.
Margarito couldnt knock out cotto with bricks, manny isnt knocking him out. stoppage is a diff story, but cotto isnt getting knocked out
Roach said: "I don't have anything bad to say about Cotto. I believe that he is an excellent athlete who is always well prepared for his fights, but I trust in the abilities of Manny and I believe that we are going to knock Cotto out," Roach told Primera Hora. "Without a doubt there will be a war. Manny and Miguel have many similarities in fighting styles, but the versatility of Manny will be too much for Miguel." The agreed-upon weight for the fight is 145-pounds. Roach is not worried by the weight. "That won't be a problem. For me it's going to be same thing whether it's 143 or 145 pounds. Both boxers are fight, they are in the primes of their careers and it's going to be an unforgettable night," Roach said.
Man are you serious Cotto jumped on the floor to save the KO against Marg , i like Cotto in this fight but you are delerious in thinking Pacquiao cannot KO Cotto !!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember roach comments about B hop fighting Pavlikm .......let go back in time "Im a little bit worried about that fight," Roach admitted. "Bernard is my friend. I asked him to retire after the last fight (a points loss to Joe Calzaghe). I saw some things I didn't like and I told him that. Four times in that fight he walked to the wrong corner after the end of the round. One time they showed it on T.V and made a joke about him looking for the ring card girls, but it happened four times. Why do you go to the wrong corner four times? Something's not right because Calzaghe hadn't buzzed him. Calzaghe couldn't hurt Bernard but Kelly is a big puncher. He's a different cat. He's a young, strong, hungry guy. Timing-wise this is not right for Hopkins" Freddie 'The Joke Coach is for a big surprise Nov 14 mark my words
Manny is a great fight but he has been outboxed people here gives manny too much credit for victory over a drained DLH and a face first hatton. if cotto could handled mosley's speed he can definitely handle Manny's.Cotto's jab will be a big factor in this fight.Cotto ud or late stoppage
I think this will be a lot tougher for Pacman than the DLH or Hatton fights but if slow ass Margarito can hit Cotto with ease then so can Manny, it will probably boil down to whether Pacman can take Cotto's shots
