Roach: Danny Garcia Better For Pacquiao, Not Amir Khan!

•Jan 10, 2015

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach is hoping a deal gets finalized for a highly anticipated mega-fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. - either in May or June. If the deal falls through, there are a few possibilities for Pacquiao's next fight. One of those possibilities is British superstar Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs), who moved up to welterweight in 2014 and picked up impressive wins over former champions Luis Collazo and Devon Alexander.

Junior welterweight contender Lucas Matthysse (36-3, 34KOs) is not going to wait around for a rematch with WBC/WBA champion Danny Garcia. Matthysse wants to avenge the most disappointing defeat of his career. They fought in September 2013, with Garcia winning a twelve round unanimous decision. Matthysse has since returned and won two contests, including a two round knockout over Roberto Ortiz to capture the WBC silver title at 140-pounds.

WBA 'regular' junior welterweight champion Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9KOs) is hoping to be the lucky recipient of the Manny Pacquiao sweepstakes in early 2015. But if he misses out, he'd like to unify his title with the WBA's full champion, who also holds the WBC crown, Danny "Swift" Garcia (29-0, 17KOs). Whether or not Garcia will remain at 140-pounds is still up in the air. Since a one-sided blowout of Rod Salka in August, Garcia has been quiet regarding his future plans and his return date is unknown.

On the night of August 9th, both Lamont Peterson and Danny Garcia defeated overmatched foes at the Barclay Center on a card televised by Showtime that was supposed to have been a prelude to the 140-pound belt-holders colliding. It seems like a natural fight given that both are elite junior welterweights and hold major titles. And just as importantly, both boxers are advised by Al Haymon.

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach is currently in Russia, where the veteran coach is going to work the corner of Ruslan Provodnikov on November 28th when he faces Mexican veteran Jose Luis Castillo. Roach is a few days removed from Pacquiao's battering of Chris Algieri in Macau, China. The coach wants the Filipino star to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a mega-fight next year. But if Mayweather rejects the advances of Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, then Roach would like Pacquiao to face WBC/WBA champion Garcia (29-0, 17KOs) at 140-pounds of a possible catch-weight of 144-pounds.

Trainer Freddie Roach would live to get Manny Pacquiao in the ring with Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs) - in what is undeniably the biggest fight in boxing. Pacquiao's promoter, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, is currently negotiating a potential 2015 mega-match between Mayweather and Pacquiao. If the Mayweather discussions fall apart, Roach has made it no secret that Danny Garcia (29-0, 17KOs) would be his preferred second option.

Macau, China - Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach was "disappointed" with the performance of Chris Algieri on Saturday night. Roach's main fighter, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, dropped Algieri six times to win a dominating twelve round unanimous decision. It was one of the most lopsided decisions in a pay-per-view main event. Pacquiao was ahead by 18 points on one card (120-102) and 16 points on the remaining two tallies (119-103). Algieri, although undefeated and the WBO champion at 140-pounds, has only 8 knockouts to his record and frustration grew as he was unable to hurt Pacquiao with his best punches.

Macau, China - It's no secret that trainer Freddie Roach would love to get Danny Garcia in the ring with Manny Pacquiao (29-0, 17KOs). The Filipino superstar is back in action tomorrow night, when he defends his WBO welterweight title against Chris Algieri, who holds the WBO world title at 140-pounds. Their fight is taking place at a catch-weight of 144-pounds. If Pacquiao feels good in the Algieri fight, he will likely move down in weight to 140-pounds. Garcia, who holds the WBC/WBA titles at junior welterweight, is Roach's opponent of choice for Pacquiao's first fight back at 140.

Trainer Freddie Roach played down hopes of a Manny Pacquiao showdown with Floyd Mayweather and said unbeaten two-belt world champion Danny Garcia could be next for “Pacman” after he fights Chris Algieri on Saturday in Macau. The drop to light welterweight (140lb) would be a further blow to prospects of a mega-fight with Mayweather. Roach instead is targeting the impressive Garcia (29-0, 17 KOs) who holds both the World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association belts at light welterweight.
