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

[Emon723]

Cotto-Canelo is a possibility if both wins in their respective fights against Martinez and Lara. If this happens, Floyd will run out of challengers and the only fight left (again) for him is Manny Pacquiao.

If cotto will get past the injury prone martinez, i think mayweather will move up to middleweight to fight cotto for the belt...its a definite possibility if cotto can beat sergio.

What did Cotto do in fight #1 that would indicate he can win fight #2?

Consistently trapped him on the ropes

He was even able to counter Floyd at times

dropped floyd's normally near 50% connect ratio to 26%

And in the words of Floyd himself...

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

And Floyd Sr. On Floyd Jr.'s gameplan for Cotto ( for those thinking his presence would really change their gameplan vs Cotto)

"Floyd had to fight that way or he would have lost"

I'd say a rematch with Cotto isn't Floyds worst option.

WHEN Cotto demolishes Martinez I expect the prospect of winning a middleweight title to really make Floyd consider the rematch.

Cotto couldnt even beat trout.

Thank you. A man with some sense. I respect Miguel Cotto but Roach about to get Cotto hurt bad in June anyways.

If you say so, man

He's not saying anything there that isn't true.

Really hope Martinez wins

U want sergio vs ggg?

Mayweather's opposition typically come off the best performance of their careers and more times than not they're coming off KO/TKOs.

Baldo: Best win of his career over Judah and a TKO over Gatti
De La Hoya: TKO over Mayorga
Hatton: KO over J. L. Castillo
JMM: TKO over J. Diaz
Mosley: KO over Margarito
Ortiz: Best win of his career over Berto
Cotto: TKO over Margarito/ 3 fight KO/TKO streak
Guerrero: Best win of his career over Berto
Alvarez: Best win of his career over Trout

Up next
Maidana: Best win of his career over Broner

Exactly Floyd fights the best the division offers. All winners and or champions. Still dude gets hate cause is such a good boxer. Never understood that. Even if you don't like the man as a person you still got to give it up to him as a fighter. Only if you don't like winners.

[Ringlife]

I don't need to see a rematch between these two.

Trout and Martinez fight nothing alike.

The fact that they're both southpaws is irrelevant. Trout is much better than Martinez defensively. And I still wouldn't expect the Cotto that fought Trout to show up on June 7th.

boxing fan logic is idiotic. Your only as good as your last loss.
I say that because Cotto gets no credit for doing what he did to Rodriguez even though no one had ever made him look that bad. People forget that before Trout fought Cotto he went 12 long rounds with Rodriguez. Rodriguez was praised by Trout even going into the Cotto fight.

Martinez is there to be hit for a quick handed light footed fighter. I think Cotto will look spectacular Vs Martinez.... I think it's a style matchup that favors the smaller fighter because of the way Martinez fights. Martinez doesnt fight tall, he doesn't keep his hands up. His reflexes won't save him, I expect he'll get Anderson Silva'ed. Sergios angles could be enough if fights weren't two sided. Sergio has his own puzzle in front of him on fight night. You dumb asses don't realize that Miguel Cotto is no walk in the park. You don't just get in the ring with him and punch him in the face at will. The most accurate puncher in the game (mayweather) who normally lands at a 50% clip only landed 26% of his shots vs Cotto. Cotto's no children's puzzle, he's a Rubik's cube himself. This is a 2 sided fight and I think Cotto's got the superior skill set.
