Comments Thread For: Roach Hopes Miguel Cotto Can Land Mayweather Again

Great point!

Not a great point. See explanation below.

Why would it be a travesty for a guy to win the lineal middleweight championship and then defend that title against the #1 P4p fighter on the planet?

Because it's almost like Marquez KTFO Pacquiao and then seeing Mayweather-Marquez 2.

I really don't know how I feel about a possible rematch, I guess it all depends on how Cotto looks.

This is pretty much how I feel. Obviously I would love for Cotto to beat him. If Sergio wins though, it doesn't matter.

I have no room on my sig but you can sig it. I honor all of my bets. 1 Trilli that Martinez ko's Cotto.

You can make room if you would take that Bobfather sig out.. Its business man..

If I had started following professional boxing 5 years ago, I would swallow the fallacy that Miguel has been the toughest fight for Floyd. However, I remember that Jose Luis Castillo really defeated Mayweather in their first fight (although Floyd won clearly the rematch) and obviously Floyd is never going to accept that first fight with Castillo should have been his only defeat instead of having an spurious or false "undefeated" record.

Very true but Floyd fans get all butt hurt when you tell them Castillo out landed him by over 100 punches

I fail to see the comparison. Marquez was never competitive against Floyd. He was always competitive with Pacquiao. Cotto by Floyds own account gave him the toughest fight of his career.

and I quote the great Floyd Mayweather himself. ..

"Uppercuts, hooks, uppercuts, hooks. Mother***a made me want to retire"

"That was a he'll of a fight. You a he'll of a fighter. Your a legend"

Nothing will be different, just want an easy pass at a title against a guy he already beat

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach is hoping that former three division world champion Miguel Cotto (38-4, 31KOs) secures a rematch, at some point, with Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26KOs).

Cotto gave Mayweather a serious run for his money in May of 2012, but ultimately lost a twelve round unanimous decision. Mayweather called it the "toughest fight" of his career. At the time Cotto was trained by Cuban trainer Pedro Diaz, but last year the Puerto Rican star switched over to Roach.

Why are you making it sound like Floyd is the one who want a rematch with Cotto? Now, i know Floyd is an opportunist and is probably hoping Cotto can win the MW belt, but i don't really think he's thinking about moving up in weight right now. I hope Martinez beats Cotto though. I don't like rematches, I'd prefer Mayweather-Martinez even though Floyd wouldn't take the fight.

Didnt COTTO decline a rematch after that fight?

I sig'd it but let's cover all bases. What if Sergio gets a TKO or the fight is stopped. Does this count as a KO? Or does Cotto head have to be put out? A TKO is still a stoppage.
