        A lot of people are saying that they won't be interested or won't watch and those are those are the same ones that did everything but that. You can give Mayweather every round from there fight but a lot of the rounds were competitive and I would like to see what difference roach has done but if Cotto pulls an upset most would say Mayweather box out of his weight class or some other excuse.

          Mayweather-Pacquiao would be nice because it would shut up the trolls, but I'm really intrigued in Floyd owning 3 lineal titles simultaneously. Also tying Oscar for divisional titles.

            I would say that it's not competitive at 154, because Floyd dominated the first time, and he always does better in rematches. 155+ is uncharted waters for Floyd though, and it would be interesting to see how the extra weight impacts him. I'd much rather see other fights, but a rematch for the middleweight title wouldn't be the worst thing.

                (Not opposed to this fight, just would like to see it after Pac )

                As far as topic:

                If Cotto could develop a better right hand for this fight then I think it could be different... I am interested to see if Roach could improve that and make something happen. I tend to think that it will never be thrown as naturally as a born right handed fighter (like Maidana's, for example) and therefore will not divert Floyd's attention enough to really give his left the best chance to do damage.

                Cotto created a lot of openings for himself but when it felt like a right hand was available, it was never thrown. If it was, it was more of a cuffing shot. I don't think Floyd was under as much mental duress against Cotto as he was against Maidana because of the threat of a legit right hand.

                  This fight would confirm that Floyd is not just ducking 1 guy, he's ducking 2 guys.
