Comments Thread For: Roach Confident Cotto Would Beat Martinez, Canelo

Soon we're going to see

Freddie Roach: "Cotto could KO Golovkin, I'm confident in him"


Just don't see how people see him successful at 160, Sorry! Dudes too small for 154 I've been saying it all along. I feel like they'd be feeding him to the wolves if they matched him up with Canelo and even Sergio, at this point. And I love me some cotto.

Loses to Trout but Can beat Martinez easily? Canelo sure but not Sergio.
Fill him with confidence so he will take the fight.

Lara vs Cotto is a fight I want at 154

Martinez is old with 2 knee surgeries and drops his hands at will. Yes, Cotto can beat Sergio he is not some great boxer, he has a style like Roy Jones as opposed to Floyd Mayweather. When the legs went with Roy so did his 0, this won't change with Sergio if they end up fighting I'll take Cotto. Canelo is the same thing, all Floyd did was show me how overrated he really is, I thought he would at least win 2 rounds but he got shut out. Canelo is also not a pressure fighter by any means so expecting something like Margarito is just assisine. If they were to fight it would look like Cotto/Mosley with a clearer win for Cotto again. This is assuming Cotto looks like the one from the Mayweather fight if it's overtrained badly trained/terrible gameplan Cotto then he won't even beat Delvin.

This is still the old Cotto right? I'll still take the one leg Martinez and the younger greener Alvarez. Cotto breaks down way to easily now a days, cotto's a warrior who just got old.

if hes as sharp as he looks in training, WARCOTTO!

Who is this sweet chick on your profile, mate?

Canelo & Martinez both stop cotto. He needs to go back to 147 and fight people his own size.

Roach.....no, just no.

People should stop suggesting cotto go's to 147 not gonna happen.. For some reason he can't make the weight no more he was a natural fat boy as a youngster and he's in his 30's where you fatten up.. On cotto vs Martinez/Canelo, I see two close close fights.. The fight we would most likely see is cotto vs Martinez .. And that's a tougher one in my eye's..depends who moving on the weight weather cotto going up or Martinez down or the middle.. Also Martinez can't do his sloppy defense on cotto that's for sure.. If cotto can break mayweather defense for 3/4 rounds straight. Then cotto will break Martinez sloppy defense for sure..but cotto cut's easy and stamina will come to play also. Plus if Martinez bring it to him early, then cotto will try to retreat and box the last half of the fight.. Scorecards would favor Who?? In my eyes cotto but who really knows now a days..

I like and admire Roach and I think he is a great trainer. I don't think Cotto can beat Martinez or Canelo not matter who trains him. They are too good and too big and hit too hard for Cotto in my opinion. I think either of them would knock Cotto out. Roach probably had it right when he said Cotto would do better at 147 but Cotto said he can't make 147 comfortably. Still Cotto is a small Jr. middleweight. I think Cotto is good but Martinez and Canelo are better.

canelo looked like **** vs trout!

I just dont see Cotto beating Canelo; Cotto would feed into everything Canelo wants you to do.
