Great post Crazy Rican!
Here is something from our Boy Cotto! Cotto: "Nothing Roach Says Will Change The Outcome" Posted by: Mark Vester on 10-30-2009.
By Mark Vester
WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto refuses to engage Freddie Roach, trainer of Manny Pacquiao, in a war of words. Pacquiao challenges Cotto for the title on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Roach has made a variety of predictions, including that possibility that Pacquiao will win via first round knockout. Cotto doesn't care what Roach has to say.
"I'm going to make Freddie Roach eat his words. I can assure you that in the end I will be victorious," Cotto said to Primera Hora. "I don't care what Freddie Roach says. The best thing he can do is prepare Manny Pacquiao to be at his best."
"Roach is not going to get in my head. He talks a lot and think the same thing will happen when Pacquiao fought Hatton. We will not fall into that game. None of the stupid things he says is going to affect me and nothing he says will change the outcome of the fight."
Cotto said the fights are win in the gym with a good training camp, not by talking trash to the press. Cotto says that he is very close to the contracted catch-weight of 145-pounds.
"The fights are won in the gym and we are working at 100%. In addition, nutrition has helped a lot and so the mood I am in is very different from previous times. In fact, we are very close to the weight," Cotto said. "I've said from the beginning, Pacquiao is a great fighter, but he is a 126-pounder. Whether he is strong enough is one of the questions that he will have to answer when he steps into the ring with Miguel Cotto."
"We are prepared for everything that he brings. Pacquiao is not the first southpaw that I faced. I've already had fights with (Carlos) 'El Indio' Quintana, Zab Judah and (DeMarcus) Corley. I am well prepared for him. And if I catch him with hard shot, we will knock him out. "
Im sticking with my predictions that Cotto Knocks Manny Pacquiao Out!

I know Cotto is the real opponent for Pac as compared to his last 3 opponents, I just hope Pac would'nt be brutalized so bad so that he could still be competitive for the next fight for Marquez, Bradley and/or maybe Mayweatyher....

Yeah, I hope Pac doesn't end up brutalized like Cotto was when he fought Margarito... I see it bein competitive, but Cotto eventually becomin frustrated... Pacquiao isn't just gonna walk in there with the regular southpaw style and fight Cotto... Pacquiao and Roach are both 2 intelligent 4 that... Look forward 2 them havin some tricks in the bag, like Pacquiao also makin use of his new strong right hand, as well as a few other things... Pac's gonna stay off the ropes as well... Cotto is no Hatton or Oscar De La Hoya, but, Pac is no Michael Jennings or Joshua Clottey either... Like Margarito, Cotto is a fighter that does a lotta his damage when his opponents are trapped against the ropes, just like he was in the Margarito fight... It's definitely winnable 4 Cotto don't get me wrong, but, it's more winnable 4 Pacquiao than most tend 2 believe... MARK MY WORDS: "If Cotto doesn't somehow trap Pacquiao on the ropes or neutralize Pac-Man's speed, he's gonna lose"...

Pacquiao, TKO 3
Cotto will get stunned by a quick shot that he doesn't see coming and everyone, including probably half the people in Cotto's own corner, will jump in to stop the fight...Manny Pacquiao "makes history" and pretends that Mayweather won't fight him...The internet agrees and youtube is flooded with "Mayweather is chicken" videos...
