    Freddie Roach: "I think Floyd Mayweather is shot."

    "All we'd have to do is get in shape and beat him to it all night long," said Roach. "I think his legs have gone. He says he wants to fight because he wants to please the fans, that's bull***. I just think he can't. I think he's shot. He won't fight anybody [any top fighters]."

    Roach went on to explain how he would prefer Cotto to go back down to Junior Middleweight:

    "I like Miguel at '54 more than '60. We were only one pound over this for fight."

      Roach said this in 2010 after Mosley fight. Yet by 2014 Floyd has yet to lose.

        Why do people forgetting that Floyd was never an elite mover once he moved up to 147. It was always about his upper body movement, reaction time, right hand counter, and ability to stop you in your tracks with the jab to the solar plexus.

        Cotto is also not Maidana.

        And Roach has a bad habit of calling out "shot" fighters. Gives the detractors more fuel for after the fight if you win. Roach needs to learn some tact.

          Well, he isn't completely wrong. Floyd has declined.

                He sure wasn't shot vs Canelo, that was one of his best performances.....


                Mayweather knows who to fight ****** vs because he know they are no threat. He fought with complete disdain for Maidana, fought his fight and still toughed it out, it's his way of challenging himself.....

                Hope that rematch happens

                  Floyd has yet to fight serious opposition
