        Roach is with Cotto. When his fighters have perceived rivalries, he gets defensive about his fighters and we can expect more of it with GGG. He doesnt do it so much that its unreasonable, just a healthy dose of family tribalism. Its normal in all things competitive, including boxing.

        Plus, he's right to point out that Golovkin doesnt sell tickets. He doesnt handpick though.

          Yet Roach is the guy who recently said they would prefer to fight Golovkin at a weight lower than 160

            Freddie Roach handpicking :



            "Shane came to the gym twice to ask me to let him fight Manny," Roach says. "I told him no both times, and both times for the same two reasons: First, there isn't enough money there, and second, you're too good a fighter."

              We know Cotto won't face Golovkin stop being defensive.

                Roach would know about handpicking.

                Why not throw your "middleweight champion" in the ring with the handpicker? Oh that's right, the MW division is a bunch of b*tches who want nothing to do with the best fighter in the division.

                  Hmm. 8500 tickets out of 9000 seats, his first time at MSG, against an unknown Aussie...... sounds pretty solid to me






                  How does Golovkin "handpick?" Guys are lining up to fight him, right?

Pacquiao fought Shane 2 fights later and had him running scared. Besides, Roach doesnt "duck" or "handpick" anyone, he's a trainer not a fighter anymore.
