Roger Mayweather: Saul Alvarez would give Floyd a fight, but he’d still lose
November 27th, 2011
By William Mackay: Roger Mayweather, the trainer for Floyd Mayweather Jr., chimed in on his thoughts about a fight between WBC junior middleweight champion Saul Alvarez and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Speaking with examiner.com, Roger said “He [Alvarez] can go in there and he likes to be like Floyd. He can come in like Floyd if he wants to, but f**k no, he aint no match. He’d give him a fight though.”
Alvarez has lately been imitating Mayweather’s style of fighting somewhat. Alvarez isn’t going as far as Adrien Broner is in copying Mayweather’s style, but he’s doing some things that look very similar to Mayweather. He’s not as effective as Broner is in imitating Mayweather, though.
Mayweather could possibly be back in the ring on May 5th next year, and Alvarez said he’s agreeable to fighting Mayweather on that date on HBO.
Roger said that Mayweather won’t be fighting Erik Morales, the new WBC light welterweight champion. Roger sees that as too easy of a fight for Mayweather Jr. Instead of him, Roger says that Marcos Maidana, the WBA light welterweight champion, could get the call for Mayweather’s next fight.
I bet that’s going to burn WBA Super World light welterweight champion Amir Khan up, because he’s been talking long and hard about wanting to fight Mayweather Jr. for the past year. And to have Maidana, the fighter that Khan beat, get the call instead of him, it’s going to boil Khan’s kettle if this happens.

He must fight Cotto before he think about Floyd
Damn. this writer is a Khan-hater to his sole. Nearly all of his “articles” contain somehow Khan, in a negative way. He beat Maidana, get over it!
let alvarez fight Kirkland
alvarez is very promising young lion, but if you put him infront of floyd now canelo is just a baby. he will be tore into pieces.
there are people who fantasize too much floyd is not what many want him to be, pac is not want many want him to be, really is diferent. floy is defense thats all, nothing else, pac is only atack thats all. an yes i think canelo can beat floy for one reason no one i mean no one is invensible,i dont foll for that, time will come for the end of each one, and canelo maigh be it for floyd, too powerful and too fast.
We all know why floyd wont fight canelo. He only fights little guys comin up or bigger guys that are old. Example maidana
We all know the real reason why floyd wont fight canelo. He fights smaller guys comin up or bigger guys but old…perfect example maidana
this is all hype mayweathers not going in the ring wih alvarez .. mayweather would win and that would ruin the profile of alverez .. dela hoyas not guna put his new cash cow superstar in the ring with the best boxer alive !
Only mayweather fights other than PAC worth anything are Martinez 154, Alvarez 150, cotto 150
Saul Alveraz if the fight is made at 147 Alveraz has no chance lol Forget that PACQUIAO fight on noww
There is only one fight the world want to see: Pac Vs. Floyd all others are priceless.
If the Mayweather words are any indication, the Klittscko bros can fight the Fraud and they would still lose.
Alvarez is not copying Floyd Mayweather. If your a fan of Canelo you know that’s his natural boxing style since he started. Hes just very intelligent, and hes obviously getting good coaching and advice, plus it helps having Oscar De La Hoya as your promoter. Saul Alvarez is just maturing well, he still has a couple more fights before he faces Floyd.
I would like to see him take on Paul Williams next, Williams is not what he use to be, and obviously failed when it was time to advanced to the next level, hes still a solid fighter with length.
Next i would like to see him take on El Perro and then Martinez , possibly Chavez Jr just for kicks.
alvarez is just a kid. he needs some more fights.
Floyd could beat him; he feels to comfortable in the ring, he’ll get hit to much…
Floyd should run for cherry-picker-in-chief, and will win easily.
