Comments Thread For: Roach Discusses Mayweather-Cotto Rematch Rumors

[megadeth]

Garcia is going up to 147 next. Manny is going back to 140. If the fight ends in a draw or an algieri win, then pacquiao is either rematching algieri or mayweather will fight pacquiao because he may like what he sees from pacquiao I'd Manny looks bad

Please stop with this nonesense! Since when does Floyd fight fighters coming off bad performances. He told GB the day after Pac abused Cotto to make the fight. It's not his fault that Pac didn't accept something that was 100% reasonable, proven by Pac actions later. If you are gonna insult the guy, at least use facts.

manny is still making $20+mil per fight. how much is cotto getting per fight being a free agent again?

When has Manny ever made 20 million a fight? From Boxrec: "The official purses for Pacquiao-Bradley II were $6 million apiece, according the contracts filed with the Nevada State Athletic Commission."

Cotto's the same fighter he was when he fought Floyd bro. He beat Edwin Rodriguez and a shot to hell Sergio Martinez.. Not Sugar Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler.

Only difference Floyd is a little older and noticeably slower than he was in the first fight.

Cotto actually beat Delvin Rodriguez not Edwin bro. There are a few differences, mainly having Roach as his trainer vs Diaz. 2 trainers with way different training styles, 2 totally different strategists, and a wildcard gym that may be second to none when it comes to the variety of sparring partners. Cotto was successful at times in the first 7-8 rounds. With 2 fights under his belt with Freddie and how impressive he's looked dispatching Delvin & Sergio, I'd assume he could be even more successful in a rematch with Floyd. He made Floyd bleed with a boxing game plan, imagine Miguel actually planting that front foot. Hmm...

How about Garcia vs Manny in April, Canelo vs Cotto Cinco de Mayo, Khan vs Floyd 4th of July. Sign me up.

Floyd looks better in rematches. Cotto has looked better since working with Roach.

How would that translate in a rematch? I have no idea. But it would be entertaining.

Floyd has not fought a fighter with Freddie Roach in his corner since De La Hoya back in 2007. And Roach only trained him for one fight.

Floyd seems to want nothing to do with Roach fighters and the gameplan he gives them.

How many Roach fighters have been available for Floyd?

"...but I don't know how far along the negotiations are [or] if there are any at all," Roach said.

Obviously, nothing is too far along at this point. Plenty of time. Anything can still happen. Ball is in Cotto's court.

I still can't understand how a rematch is even a discussion ......

judge: Robert Hoyle 110-118
judge: Patricia Morse Jarman 111-117
judge: Dave Moretti 111-117

What part of that azz-whippin is unclear

Don't worry. Khan will eventually be TBE's next fight.
