By Chris Williams: WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto’s trainer Freddie Roach thinks Floyd Mayweather Jr would be barking up the wrong tree if he were to move up to the 160 pound division to challenge the 34-year-old Cotto for his World Boxing Council title.
Roach thinks that Mayweather would be too small if he were to move up a couple of divisions to face Cotto, even though Mayweather currently holds the WBA/WBC junior middleweight titles and is actually taller than the 5’7” Cotto.
