Roach: "Manny Pacquiao is Knocking Miguel Cotto Out"

[don miguel]

nowadays in order to be pound for pound king you have to beat fighters that are already losing like oscar lost 3 of his last 6 fights. or lose a tune up fight like morales..or knock out a fighter that gets K.O.ed by mayweather who is not even a power puncher and that is how you become pound for pound!!

im not a hater and i am not racist im a boxing fan!! i am also not interested in watching chavez jr. fight untill he steps up and fights a name fighter!!

Gatti and Judah lost their last fight before fighting Mayweather. Does it mean mayweather should not have been p4p?

Pacquiao is P4P because he won titles from 112 to 140. Won 6 belts in 6 divisions. Fought and won in 4 weights consecutively. Not because of his last 3 fights.

Then who should be p4p? Mayweather who retired because he is afraid to fight Cotto, SSM, Margarito and Williams. And return to fight JMM climbing from 135 to 147 while Mosley is looking for opponent.

I think people are being mislead by Cotto's last performance, they will be surprised on fight night.Manny has can be and has been hurt by lesser fighters.

Clottey & Margarito were certified very dangerous fighters & champions...Cotto won over Clottey on a close split decision & the loss to Margarito in w/c he's leading in the 1st half of the bout until he runs out of gas is still in doubt because of the discovered hand wrapping controversy...He's probably undefeated right now....No doubt Cotto is a great & strong champion w/ a lot of fans rooting for him...

As of now i'm not yet fully analysed the advantages of both fighters...I'm a fan of Cotto before but now I'm really a full Pacquiao fan but i don't discredit the potential of other fighters capabilities...As what u've said that Manny has been hurt by smaller fighters, yes but that was sometime ago...The Manny of today has proven everybody that he's a much stronger fighter w/ the increase of weight compared to his featherweight status...With the increase of weight Manny was stronger but maintain his speed as what materialized in his previous fights w/ Diaz, Dela Hoya & Hatton no matter what the excuses the haters think...

Manny has the one knock out punch power to put 140 lb champion out like Hatton, I believe that is a dangerous fact to consider...If Manny's speed will be a visible factor in a Cotto fight then it will end by a knock out...

[powertoconquer]

My point is, alot of posters are underestimating Cotto and Manny is not unbeatable, plus Cotto has been hurt by alot larger and harder punching fighters and still prevailed.....Wait until fight night, thats all I have to say.

sorry roach but it aint gon happen period amen

[baracuda]

sorry roach but it aint gon happen period amen

sorry man but roach has been very accurate with his predictions.......not a good sign for cotto......

[Xcusemymood]

very much another handpicked on the decline welterweight of course cotto wont win jmm has a better chance of beating floyd than cotto has of beating pac, this fight sux and really does nothing for pacs legacy or boxing only pacs wallet, another case of pac picking off the weaker welterweights and shunning the top ones.roach is an ******* too he himself said "cotto looks shot to me" well roach why in the **** you want to beat the shot guy then? why not jmm or mosley or floyd? we all know the answer to that.

If I gave out red k youd be getting some.

Hall-of-Fame trainer Freddie Roach is predicting a knockout victory for his fighter, pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao. Roach says Pacquiao will be too much for WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto. The two collide on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Unlike some of Pacquiao's other past opponents, Roach is a big fan of Cotto and has nothing bad to say about him. [details]

I think Miguel Cotto is a good boxer but I'll have to agree with Trainer Roach. The Pacman will be too much for him to handle. Another repeat of Ricky's knockout is more than likely to happen to Cotto. JAT

[jvsnypes]

Manny's speed will be the difference in this fight.Plus, Manny has the better corner.

Is there a weight limit for Cotto on fight night? Any condition in the contract?

No. As of right now there is no stipulation in the contract regarding the weight on fight night. The only stipulation, as always, applies on the weigh-in. That kind of stipulation would've come out already and if Pac's team demands it then Cotto would be the beneficiary of a significant monetary compensation, which Pac's team is not looking to cede.

[Gabilan]

yes floyd is the king ducker,but at welterweight mosley is the man rt now not cotto.

Yeah, too bad he lost to Cotto. Were you saying the same thing after the Mosley/Mayorga fight? Oh im sorry, everybody forgets about that fight huh. Mosley is the man. But right now there is no clear cut WW king. Give it up loser.
