Roach: "Miguel Cotto Has Trouble With Southpaws"

[MakeDamnSure]

Lol everytime Cotto throws his strong jab, there will be a 3 punch combination in return from Pacquiao.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I guess I can see where he comes from as far as the angles gave him some trouble but he's dominated those southpaws by the end of the fight. On top of that Cotto IS a natural southpaw and confuses southpaws halfway inside the fight when he switches back a fourth

have you seen cotto's jab pac might be on the floor b4 he could throw those combos....iuf you are goin to say something back itup cotto has one of the best jabs in boxing, i think is arguebly his best punch

[archermac X]

everybody has problems with southpaws accept mayweather. cotto will jab and walk right through pac.manny does'nt hit harder than clottey nor margacheato and cotto took their punches well. i don't think pac can hurt cotto.the question is can pac take cotto's punches? miguel wins this fight.

That ranks as one of the dumbest comments i've read here! The exact opposite is actually true. Mayweather has had the most problems with southpaws. He was hurt a couple of times by Corley who was not even a fast or heavy hitter and was borderline top ten when they fought. He was knocked down by Zab Judah and Judah was dominating him in the first 5 rounds of their fight. Tell me, which southpaw had Mayweather fought and easily dominated? NO ANSWER? Simple, NONE!!

[Mr. Philadel]

3-0 with 3 KO's vs his last 3 southpaws.......Roach we dont believe you.....you need more people!!!

Clottey, Marg and Mosley troubled him more than ANY southpaw

[Allucard]

I mixed up the best defensive fighter and the best offensive fighter. I like them both so i mixed them up.. Nose and face mayweather while eyes and mouth are Manny's.. lolz..

Please add Pacquiao's hair for the final touch.

[WESS]

I thought Roach said Pac will be "at his best weight" of 149 while Cotto would be upper 150's. Now its Pac at 147 and Cotto in the 160's?

Roach should talk of the Marg fight. The one and only loss. IMO He's had more punishment/problems in his last three fights vs the best of the best than any time in his career....

When was the last time Pac fought an elite top guy like Cotto has done in his three outings? A few years ago? To his favor, some would argue Hatton. As much as he was a paper champ. I'm speaking of a real THREAT someone that wasn't mentally and physically destroyed by Mayweather.

I take nothing away from Pac. He's a great. I just don't give him anything for this fight. It is what it is. Cotto's last three fights where against bigger, stronger, and Mosley possibly being faster if not the same speed. If Cotto can walk/run around the ring VS Marg (who never stops punching, possibly with Plaster gloves), what makes people think that Pac could hit as hard? I just don't see Pac who will probably be 146ish beating a guy that I think will be 156-158 fight night who's been there and done that with bigger and stronger etc etc etc type of guys. This isn't Hoya losing weight for a retirement check.. As Roch knows, Hoya would have destroyed Pac in his prime. I like Pac, just not on Nov 14th.

first of all even mayweather had problems with zab early and secondly freddie roach is bi-polar one minute manny's doing well in training and the next there's problems in the camp i'm convinced that Freedie's trying to make himself believe what he's saying all that bull**** and video watching aint gonna mean **** once cotto hits him

[csko-2k1]

In that fight Cotto switches from orthodox to southpaw and was jamming judah with that,had judah confused,plus Cotto is a southpaw himself,it will only take a few rounds to adapt to manny's movement..Manny can't move forever...

[Boss Don]

Judah's reach advantage along with his speed and power was most likely the cause of the problems early for Cotto...I don't think that he has an issue with southpaws as he absolutely destroyed Quintana. Pacquiao should have the speed advantage, but he doesn't have a reach advantage nor does he have the power of Judah.

took the words right out of my mouth
