Roach doesn't sound 2 confident anymore, I wonder why? I think he just pick on the wrong guy this time and he just realize that Miguel is alot better that what he tough. I don't see him making any sound predictions yet, wonder why? LMFAO

War Miguel..

roach always give opponents their due credit. dont get too excited

[JM1]

indeed the hardest fight of mannys career

Is Freddie Bi Polar? Just recently he said THEY will expose Cotto and now he is a tough nut to crack?

I dont think he is bipolar. Just that he is unconfortable that cotto is training and pac is doing showbiz stuf rather than relaxing and mentally preparing. Also he might have seen something now in his research that is giving him a tough time to come up with a plan.

Still I have it 50/50 but I expect a WAR.

Maybe he has an NSB account and read the thread about Pac handpicking fighters, so now he's trying to boost up Cotto

WAR COTTO!!

It's not that he isn't confident,it's just not reality to think that Pacman destroys Cotto,the Pacmania has gone off the deep end!!As far as declining performance,I would love for someone to name me any fighter outside of the Punisher,who can look spectacular against Clottey,because there is no welterweight active right now that can!!Pacman is a great fighter,but just because of that is fans shouldn't forget that Cotto is as well!!

not even the punisher would look good vs clottey, clottey would outbox paul. paul knows this thats why he avoided clottey.

cotto by ko in the 8th rd....left hook to the body

Listen,just because Clottey gave Cotto a rough fight,doesn't mean there is room to talk nonsence,my dude!!Winky is better than Clottey with a better workrate & he was utterly overwhelmed with activity,so please,how can Clottey who doesn't throw enough do better?!If u don't like the Punisher that's fine,but no need to be foolish about it!!The Punisher is no Cotto!!

Im just glad roach is being honest.

It would have been real easy to sit up there and talk about all of cotto's flaws instead of his accomplishments and from the sounds of it thats how pacman is taking it.

I've said since the IDEA of this fight being brought up that it was going to be a very tough fight for both guys. I will even go out on a limb and say its probably THEE toughest fight of BOTH of their careers.

I know many will point out margarito and some of pacman's tough fights against mexican warriors but this is entirely different if you ask me. This pretty much determines the best between 140-147 in the WORLD!

I know many are thinking, "what about mosley?" and granted hes a hall of famer no question but im talking CURRENTLY and while he was extremely impressive winning over margarito; cotto beat mosley. and pacman is viewed as top fighter as well...so i really think this fight will come down to all the parts needed for a thiller:

whats on the line?
A) Money. this should sell VERY well given the popularity and the exciting style both fighters bring to the table.

B) The Belt. Its for the WBO WW championship. status is there.

C) P4p rankings. whoever wins will either be the top p4p fighter or at the least within the top 5.

D) Status. This fight will end up deciding many things in these couple of weight classes and the winner will have press and fighters lined up around the block wanting to get a shot at them (either for questions...or for a title shot).



In my opinion this fight is bigger than floyd v. marquez. only way it (pacman v. cotto) gets outshadowed is if marquez does something stellar like knocks out floyd; etc.
a floyd win and it will all be forgotten come november.

thats speaks volumes of the importance of this fight.

so this is no walk in the park for either fighter and i'd really lose appreciation for whoever comes into this fight expecting an easy ride.
