Roach: "Miguel Cotto Has Trouble With Southpaws"

[go1nbanana]

re-watched cotto corley fight, cotto was always tagged with left. if cotto can walk through pac's left uppercut and left straight, cotto wins

[inferno]

It wasn't just the southpaw issue...they all were southpaws with reach advantages over Cotto. That doesn't apply in this case.

[MANGLER]

If Cotto lost, it wouldn't be just cuz Pac's a lefty.

[Nuurzhaelan]

They did seem to bother him earlier in his career, but not that he's fought a few, they shouldn't bother him too bad. Pac's speed is what will bother Cotto most.

Well, if Roach says it enough he hopes Cotto will start believing it.

[kadyo's]

Right you there mang, roach has this tendency to downplay a probable pac win by attributing it to one single factor. Hoya can't pull the trigger, Hatton knows only the forward direction, if ya know what i'm sayin'.

[superchile]

yeah

cotto has had problems whit soutpaws indeed but who has not the funny thing is he never lost to one hes closest fights have been whit bigger guys so will see

[zzat]

I don't think Roach really sees that as what will win them the fight. He just trying to keep people talking about the fight. I just wish he had someone to share insults with like the Hatton fight. That fight was so anticipated form the day it was signed because Roach and Mayweather Sr did a good job hyping the fight. Cotto and his corner don't talk much, they just let the fists do the talking.

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.

and Cotto can fight Southpaw since he is a natural left hander....can manny deal with a southpaw?

[Jiddu Dali]

Dude, He's the Black Manny Pacquiao... creepy as hell..

naw thats Manny and Mayweather together...lol..terrible

[dionysius]

If Cotto lost, it wouldn't be just cuz Pac's a lefty.

you are right about that bro.
pacquiao will beat him using his speed and ability to dodge punches... which improved drastically in his last fight with Ricky Hatton.
