Comments Thread For: Roach Sees Canelo For Cotto at 154, Unsure of 160

[Cinci Champ]

Roach making absolutely no sense once again.

makes sense to me if he fights canelo 154 makes more sense as canelo already is having trouble making 154 and would probably be more comfortable at 160 then 154. Now that shaefer is gone though why are more people not mentioning ggg canelo. If canelo wins against lara ggg canelo imo would be a better fight then people realize at 160

Just having some fun with the Cotto fanclub who suddenly think Cotto has become an unstoppable monster because he got Martinez at a perfect time. If these guys really think so high of Cotto (Middleweight #1 etc) they shouldnt have a problem with him fighting GGG? What are they afraid of?

I totally agree either vacate or fight canelo or GGG I'm sure GGG and canelo would fight each other at 160

[Right Hooks]

Neither Cotto or Canelo want any part of Golovkin. They'd rather fight each other, almost a 50-50 fight due to Canelo's stamina issues, but I'd still lean maybe slightly towards Canelo.

After Canelo not making weight last fight and making this fight at 155, Roach knows Cotto makes 54 way easier than Canleo. There's a method to Roachs madness.

Easy to see why considering Canelo is having trouble making weight at 154. Team Cotto will request a catch weight for the fight to the lowest possible. Would not surprise me if they ask for 154.1, no more no less.

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach admits that he will be watching with a lot of interest when Saul "Canelo" Alvarez faces Erislandy Lara on July 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Roach, who trains WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto, would like to have his fighter face Canelo at 154-pounds. Top Rank wants to bring Cotto back on December 6th or 13th, at New York's Madison Square Garden or a venue in Las Vegas.

Roach must be losing all sense of the weight classes and why they're there. And it again calls into question his desire and pattern of seeking opponents at a disadvantage. smh!!!

[Sugar Adam Ali]

i think roach knows that canelo is about to outgrow jr mid, and he will soon be a mw,, so roach trying to get him to kill himself in training to get down to 154,
By this time next year canelo will be a full fledged mw

canelo vs cottos fat older brother... Your skills may go up but your chin will always be the same. Cotto puts canelo to sleep in the later rounds.
