Mayweather Targets Miguel Cotto, Victor Ortiz for Tune-Up Fight

Roger Mayweather, the uncle and trainer of unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr, says his nephew is targeting either Miguel Cotto or newly-crowned WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz for his tune up fight within the year.
The outspoken trainer of the undefeated boxer told Chris Robinson, who writes for *********** and Examiner.com, said he believes Floyd will return to the ring this year.
"He will. Yeah, he will come back this year," Roger Mayweather said. "I don't know when, probably by end of summer it will be his next fight. He's got a deal with, what's his name, Jim Jones, Jerry Jones? I mean, he's planning on resuming his career."
Floyd's uncle was referring to Jerry Jones, the owner of the huge

in Arlington, Texas, the venue of Manny Pacquiao's last two fights with Joshua Clottey and Antonio Margarito.
Pacquaio's last two fights at Cowboys Stadium were arranged by Top Rank's Bob Arum, who is a friend of Jerry Jones.
A few months a go Jerry Jones was seen with the unbeaten boxer at the Cowboys Stadium, where he also met with Bob Arum.
"I think it's going to be an outstanding crowd for him to go in there and fill that stadium up, see how many people he can draw," Roger Mayweather said. "But that's going to make it that much better to draw it to the fight for Pacquiao."
Miguel Cotto has just won over Ricardo Mayorga via TKO and was reported to have agreed to face Antonio Margarito before the end of the year.
A fight with Cotto may be far fetched as the Puerto Rican idol is under Top Rank Promotions, whose owner, Arum, has a long-standing feud with Golden Boy Promotions, Mayweather's promoter.

insiders say a more viable opponent would be Victor Ortiz, who is under Golden Boy Promotions, the same company that promotes Mayweather.
Ortiz became an overnight boxing sensation when he ran away with an upset victory over highly-rated Andre Berto last April 16.:deal

 

If it's Cotto, i'm going.

 

Good fights

 

i was about to write that

 

AGAIN....this is not from Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s mouth. It is uncle Roger. Roger can say what he's speculating. Then Jr turns right around and says the opposite. So until you hear it from Jr or hell even Haymon it means nothing.

 

Good tuneup options. Cotto would be a better fight, while Ortiz would be a better preparation for Pacquiao. My money's on it being Victor....If any of this is actually true that is.

 

Floyd said himself in a recent interview that he rarely talks to Roger and Roger has no idea what his plans are.

 

Cotto would decapitate Floyd and **** down his throat. Give him Ortiz so that we'll be assured of Pac-May and everyone will **** their pants when the fight gets announced. :happy

 

I'll believe it when it happens.
(Hope both fights somehow happen)

 

Floyd TKO 10 Cotto.

 

cotto would get beat up and made to look stupid

as will ortiz

 

Roger only test the water for lil floyd, and if it's something not to his taste, lil floyd simply would say Roger is lying.

 

Top Rank won't allow Floyd-Cotto to happen.

WAR "MAGIC" MATTHEW HATTON!!!

 

Floyd wins an easy lopsided decision over Cotto, and people say Cotto is finished.

Floyd wins an easy lopsided decision over Ortiz (or stops him in 10) and people say Ortiz was overrated.

 

Unless Cotto is planning on hopping ship, its Ortiz.
