Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather is Shot, Will Avoid Cotto Rematch!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Boxing trainer Freddie Roach has said before that he thinks Miguel Cotto would’ve defeated Floyd Mayweather back in May 2012 had Roach been working with him at the time.

Now that Cotto has become the lineal middleweight champion with a 10th-round stoppage of Sergio Martinez, Roach was again asked about a Mayweather rematch. He doesn’t think that it will happen — and part of that is because of his assessment of Mayweather’s win over Marcos Maidana this past May.

Nothing false In what Roach said. Floyd will most likely not give either Cotto or Maidana a rematch.

There's already about 20 pages on the other thread talking about how Floyd is gonna try and rematch Cotto for a fake lineal title. So I guess now all sides are covered. He's scared of a rematch. But in the event it happens. He fought a washed up Cotto that got outclassed by Austin Trout and merely beat a crippled Martinez.

Unfortunately for Floyd he doesn't seem to have too many viable options for his next fight! Since Amir Khan is not available that leaves Maidana, Cotto or Pacquiao as the only real acceptable options. The only other guy I can think of would be Danny Garcia - which would also be the easier fight

Screw the "fake lineal title". Floyd admittedly likes the WBC Green belts and adding another division title to his record, making him a 6-division champ (albeit against a guy he already beat) would make it all worth it.

IF he has confidence that he can beat Cotto. He could say "been there, done that". But Cotto got himself something new worth fighting for. It's not about beating Cotto as much as beating Miguel for what he has (Which is the WBC Belt at a weight Floyd never won a Title at).
