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

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?

Floyd was never any good, he ducked Cotto in his prime, almost lost to him with no training, and this cements Roach as the greatest trainer in the history of boxing.

I'm astounded. Ppl actually want to see this. Until it happens and Floyd wins again. Lol. They the moaning and complaining will start about how it was a cherry pick. But I bet Floyd is somewhere licking his chops at the opportunity.

Cotto looked great but people are getting carried away by him beating an old guy who clearly was just wanting the payday. Let's be honest sergio shouldn't have never fought lol. Let's be real here. But you can't turn down 1.5 million plus dollars.

The cotto that fought delvin and serg would beat the floyd that fought maidana IMO

How?? Floyd fought the same fight with Cotto as he did Chino. Cotto fought the same spirited fight but still got dominated. Nothing changed with Cotto but easier opponents.

Who ever brings up the trout fight is utterly ridiculous. Cotto is a differnt fight under roach. Do you listen to ringside commentators. Cotto in best shape of his life looking more impressive every fight with roach. N wtf that was the middle weight champ he did that to. Rodriquez had a better fight with cotto. I always said may weather cotto 2 has to happem. I'm nit sure cotto will be the underdo

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.

Or, does Cotto wanna deal with Floyd again? Cotto bent over for Floyd pretty good the first time around. If a rematch happens, it will be at a catchweight, it will be done without Arum, and Cotto will fight for a slightly larger guarantee and PPV upside than the first time around. My guess is if Nelo beats Lara, Cotto won't be in the mood to bend over for Floyd. And even if Nelo loses. Cotto may tell Floyd to f.uck himself for the time being. Especially with a pretty easy payday against Bradley that Arum has lined up.

You think that Bradley will move up to fight for the Middleweight Championship?

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.

I wanna see this roidless Pacquiao fight Cotton at his natural weight like Mayweather did. .. Cotton would destroy Pacquiao worse than what Marquez did.

Roach, and fans in general, needs to stop mentioning Money Mayweather. He's irrelevant. We need new faces in boxing. Or at least make the current crop of fighters fight each other. Thurman vs Bradley would be interesting. Thurman is being ducked by a bunch of ducks in Haymon's stable, anyway.
