Bill "Two Scoops" Emes catches up with Abel Sanchez, trainer of WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, to discuss a future fight with WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto. They also touched on Cotto's knockout win over Daniel Geale.

Cotto retained his World Boxing Council middleweight world title with a crushing victory over Geale. Cotto knocked down Geale twice in the fourth round before referee Harvey Dock stopped the bout at 1:28 of the fourth [Click Here To Read More]

Abel was quite diplomatic considering that Cotto will continue to avoid GGG.

Neither Cotto nor Canelo are happening this year so if GGG is going to fight 2 more fights this year they need to start getting a plan together. Lee needs to defend against Billy Joe Saunders or he'll probably get stripped and lose his value to GGG. That fight is not even scheduled yet. Within a month we'll know who the IBF titleholder is. I would go all out to get Froch in September and try to fight for the IBF in December.
Interesting that Sanchez keeps on mentioning that GGG needs to be motivated. He more than anyone would notice if GGG is slacking off, even slightly, in training.
Pity GGG got screwed over in Germany so badly - that wasted 3-4 years of his professional career. As it is Canelo and the others are just waiting for him to decline, he probably has another 18 months tops at this level.
