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

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

This fight is already signed suckas.

Mayweather will be the lineal MW champion of the world. Damn its feel good to be a fan of TBE.

WOOOOOOOO

do you have any proof of that you Floydgoloid?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I can see them doing a sugar ray- donny ladonde type fight, where it will be at 154 for both the lineal jr mid and middleweight titles, much like how leonard won the 168 and 175 title decades ago

But that's the thing. The excuses don't matter. Maybe in our small world of Boxing forums, they do. But when did they ever matter to Floyd.

The fact is, if he wins, he is a 6-division champion and he gets his favorite Green Belt (not the WBA, WBO or IBF). No excuses can erase a factual accomplishment.

And even if Cotto did lose to Trout and won against a faded Martinez, his accomplishment cannot be erased. Plus, the perception is that he has gotten a tad bit better with Roach. So there is that new curiosity factor (he didn't do bad in the first fight, how good can he do in the second with a new trainer).

If not Maidana (which I'm not too curious about), Cotto is worth facing. He is # 3 PPV draw after Floyd and Pac, WBC Middleweight Champ, didn't do too bad in the first fight against Floyd. All prerequisites that make a rematch worth it.

I agree. But my initial post was aimed at one of the dip****s who in their minds Floyd can do nothing right. I'm by no means implying that what the ****** f.ucks on boxingscene say is gospel.

And to add to this. Amir Khan is a shitty option. Other than getting to sell out an arena in the UK, he does not deserve a fight against Floyd statistically. There is nothing there for Floyd. Not only does he not have the resume, but he doesn't even have the momentum or winning streak going. The other two Title holders (Keith Thurman & Shawn Porter) deserve a fight over him just for being unbeaten. But still, neither one is a better quality opponent (resume wise or just the perception that they can beat Floyd) than Miguel Cotto - who should be ahead of them in the P4P rankings after last nights win.

There is nowhere else to really go for FLoyd. Cotto has brought himself back into the sweepstakes in a major way.

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.

Totally this ^^^

On the other hand, what if Cotto pulls off the upset?!

How would NSB interpret Mayweather losing his "0" to a resurgent Cotto?

[hitking]

I agree whole-heartedly, although if a rematch wteeere to ever happen between Cotto and Floyd I definitely favor Cotto! He carried that weight very very well and brought even more power with him. I just couldn't say Floyd would be able to do the same, plus add Roach in there with him who always compliments any fighter's game and it'd be hard to bet against Cotto in the rematch.

Your mindset is why a rematch would be huge. From a pure boxing standpoint, you're a lil caught up in the moment and exaggerating or overestimating everything that has to do with Cotto. But that's a good thing. First fight did 1.5M buys with people thinking Cotto was washed up and shot. With everything that's happened, a lotta people would think Cotto could win. If promoted properly, a rematch could approach the Canelo numbers.

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

Cotto beats floyd the first fight was close snd cotto should have pulled it off with cotto going to the body more n in the best shape of his life cotto wins the rematch

[Fluid04]

Really?????

So when Floyd fought Cotto the 1st time Cotto was washed up. Even the experts said it. Now people want rematch 3 years later? What does that make Cotto now? I swear lol. When Floyd wins again then what?

[millcitymauler]

I just want to see Floyd Sr. get under Freddie's skin again with his "Freddie - The Joke Coach - Roach" poems.

Ditto. ^^

And I think Floyd and his people already know this. The question is does he really wanna get in there with Cotto again? Because as we all know there are other criterias Floyd considers besides the marketability of a fight.
