    Note to Roach, All fighters have trouble with South Paws.
    Another Note to Roach, Manny has trouble with fighters who are not washed up nor weight drained, he tends to suddenly get blisters, he tends to suddenly have distractions in camp, he tends to have managent issues......
    Manny Pacquiao has trouble with guys who can Box, Morales, Marquez, even limited ass Solis gave him a bit of work.....
    November 14th will be the story teller, this is not a Ricky Hatton, this is not a weight drained Oscar....

    Pac gets hit a lot too, but never been hit by a true welter?

    Roach is quiet right on this. He should also take note that Cotto low blow Judah so many time that caused him to tire out. Cotto may do the same thing to Pac.

    cotto has something that many lacks and that s the ability to adapt to different situations, that will be the key.

    No one else but Floyd Mayweather. He can even surpass that 7 divison titles because the last time I checked, he is fighting Chris John, Juanma Lopez and Vic Darchinyan for his next fights!:lol:

    :good agree on this one... this weakness, gets hit a lot is common to both Cotto and PAC... but it still favors PAC since he's relentless throwing punches in bunches... some of those punches will surely land on Cotto...;)

    I think Floyd has titles in 4 or 5 different weight divisions... If Floyd fight those 3 above mentioned boxers, he can probably surpass PAC if he doesn't run out of time...:rofl Floyd is already 32 years old...

    what the hell is mr. shakey supposed to say? that pacquiao has no chance against cotto? of course he's going to try to hype up the fight! roach knows that pacquiao is going to have to fight the most perfect fight to beat cotto and also have a little bit of luck on his side because cotto is one tough sumbitch. what roach should be asking is this, can pacquiao take cotto's massive body shots, cotto's very underrated jab and overall power? :nut

    I don't see it. Cotto is much better than most at dealing with a southpaw.

    He switches liberally and uses all sorts of looks. Manny better be ready.

    I think the "cotto fades in fights" saying is a myth. Cotto has always shown early in his career he finishes strong. In the judah fight he kept getting stronger as the fight went on. He has been fighting tough competition so hes more conservative but i dont think stamina has been an issue for Cotto as people make it out to be.

    GOOD STUFF! Yea cotto doesn't fade at all..I mean the tony fight he did but that fight WILL ALWAYS HAVE QUESTION AROUND IT...In the clottey fight Cotto looked a little less fatigued than Clottey or he fought with his heart...1 or the other I think Cotto doesn't have any stamina issues beond that of any other good welterweight

    cotto took margos punches for 11 rounds before crashing.. I'm pretty confident he take pacs for 12 without any huge issue
