      Roach claims he's never seen Golovkin fight, "does he fight on UHF?", he's fought on HBO multiple times.

      I think Roach watched him spar Chavez at Wildcard too.

        Gotta love Freddie.

        Was he serious about Bernard Hopkins?

          Mayweather got beat up in his last fight so theres a chance Cotto can win but Glovokin come on Roach that's a suicide mission, will Floyd ask for a 152 pound catch weight and pillow gloves for the middleweight title of 160 ?

              Mayweather already beat Cotto in a dominant performance. In a fight where his opponent won three out twelve rounds you say he got "beat up". I call that delusional wishful thinking.

                That's what I was thinking. He's clearly in the video when him and Chavez are sparring. Maybe he hasn't seen him on HBO, maybe he has. Hard to believe he hasn't though being that Golovkin has garnered so much attention this past year and a half or so.

                  And to Roach's comments about Mayweather being "shot" and not having any legs anymore. Freddy Roach has been saying this same thing since 2010 after Floyd fought Shane Moseley. Floyd said he wasn't going to do a lot of moving around in the ring before that fight also. He moved around a lot more in the ring when he fought Ortiz. He didn't claim that he was going to stand in front of Ortiz. Then he fought Miguel Cotto and said the he wasn't going to do a lot of moving around before that fight. He kept his promise again. Then he fought Robert Guerrrero last year and made no such claims before that fight. And what happened? He boxed so many circles around Guerrero that Ruben Guerrero and Robert both were complaining after the fight about how he didn't go toe to toe and that he ran. He did not make the assertions that he wasn't going to do a lot of moving around before the Canelo fight and he boxed and used good footwork in that fight also. He told the media before the Maidana fight on numerous occasions that he was going to be in front of Maidana and he wasn't going to do a lot of moving around. Once again he kept his promise. So there is more factual proof to support Mayweather's claim that he is choosing to fight with less movement, when he says that he is choosing to, than there is to support the notion that he is lying when he says that and that his legs are indeed shot. Sergio Martinez's legs were shot. Fernando Guerrero's legs are shot. This is just wishful thinking as always from Freddie Roach when it comes to Mayweather. Roach is funny with all of the tough talk but then claiming that Mayweather will make some sort of excuse not to fight Cotto when he knows that Cotto is a Top Rank fighter and that Floyd already dominated Cotto when he was a free agent. All of Freddie Roach's trash talk in the world can't change those facts. Hahaha
