By Chris Williams: Freddie Roach would like it if Floyd Mayweather Jr. were to move up in weight to challenge his fighter WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto for his newly won 160-pound title for his next fight, but Roach doesn’t think Mayweather will agree to take a second fight with Cotto, even though Mayweather already proved himself to be the superior fighter to Cotto two years ago.
Roach thinks that with the way that Cotto beat up Sergio Martinez last Saturday, it’ll have Mayweather not interested in tempting fate to get in the ring with Cotto a second time.
“He [Mayweather won’t fight anyone else,” Roach said. When asked if Mayweather will agree to fight fight Cotto at 160, Roach said “I don’t think so. He’ll [Mayweather] come up with some excuse.”
By Dan Ambrose: Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. wasn’t impressed with Miguel Cotto’s opponent last Saturday night in Delvin Rodriguez, and he thinks that Cotto (38-4, 31 KO’s) will have to beat a much better opponent than that if he wants to get a rematch against Floyd Jr. From his perspective, Floyd Sr. thinks Cotto would have beaten Delvin even without his new trainer Freddie Roach because he doesn’t see Rodriguez as a talented fighter. 
By Dan Ambrose: Trainer Freddie Roach says he’d really like for his fighter Miguel Cotto to get a rematch against Floyd Mayweather Jr., and says that Cotto thinks he could beat him now with the condition that he was in last Saturday night in destroying Delvin Rodriguez in a fight that was televised by HBO from Orlando, Florida.
