Comments Thread For: Roach: I'm Not Afraid, Cotto-Golovkin Could Be Next!

[Mr.Fantastic]

Says not afraid and I bet they will demand a catch weight.

[Lords]

At 154.5 doe . Cotto dont want no one at 100%

Like when he went down in weight to fight Pac at the weight that Pac wanted? ok

[cReal Killer]

Wow. You must be the only one with his actual photo as ava (I confess, that´s not me in mine). That´s the only explanation for your comments.

, I had to scroll up and see his avatar, and I think you are right

[cReal Killer]

True, true.

These guys are insane and just delusional Cotto haters. Cotto's team saying that GGG is a REAL possibility...not 2 years down the road like De La Hoya said about Canelo.

I bet that if the FMJr. rematch does not happen for his 50th and Cotto retirement fight...then GGG its it.

Now and Im 100% serious about this:

The ONLY fight I would accept after Canelo other than GGG is FMJr. If no Floyd then Cotto MUST fight GGG or Ill personally call him out.

Finally an unbiased Cotto fan here. good job.

What does down the road mean? 1 year, 2 years! I hope the WBC strip Diva Cotto if he wins and then starts playing games.

I'll take Cotto and Canelo over GGG. It's going to be nasty when that hype train crashes. Their body work would neglect some of that power.

I am pulling for Cotto to win this fight, however if anyone still believes anything that comes out of Freddie Roach's mouth, please reflect on his history of pre-fight "hype"

April 30, 2015:

It seems incomprehensible, impossible, but Manny Pacquaio’s trainer says he wouldn’t be surprised if Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a no-show for Saturday’s “Fight of the Century.”

Really.

Freddie Roach dropped that little bombshell on USA Today and kept repeating the claim that is, we repeat, incomprehensible.

Roach was asked for his thoughts on bout, interrupted and said “if [Mayweather] shows up. I am still worried about that. I won’t believe it until I see him in front of us in the ring.”

A 47-0 fighter not showing up for a $300 million fight that will pay him at least $150 million?

“I just think he was forced into this fight,” Roach said. “He didn’t want this fight. Every fight he has had in his lifetime was one that he picked. This is the first one he was forced into and I feel he was uncomfortable. They made him take it, Showtime.”

Roach added that his spies in the Mayweather camp told him the fighter skipped three days of training last week.

“I am not [lying],” Roach said. “I know from people who were there. Word gets out and Vegas is a small place.”

Here we go, listen up fellas.

A) GGG is a great fighter. Period. He has proven it with his silver medal, amateur record and title fight record as a pro.

B) Cotto is not scared to fight anyone as most fighters aren't. This has been proven time and time again. No need to explain any more.

C) This fight will happen provided that GGG and Cotto keep winning at MW. Roach has nothing to do with it, cash money does.

The end......

I agree with everything except your first point .....

Olympic/amateur credentials cannot contribute to greatness.

Professional achievments do.

I will just leave it there......

[aldo5408]

Freddie has come full circle from him and Pacquiao not "knowing who he was" to "he's a great fighter" etc. I think he knows that he very well could see his fighter in the ring with him in the very near future. A brutal storm is coming for Cotto or Canelo soon!

If giggi goes down to 150 manny tkos him too much speed and power

[Thutch2412]

It depends on GGG's performance against Lemieux, that will more than likely be the determining factor whether the winner faces him next or not.

If Cotto wins, I feel he'll go after a Floyd rematch, which I'm sure Floyd will go after as well. After that fight GGG can just pick up the belt, he ain't done **** at MW anyway in the 10 years he's been there.

I'm sure he'll beat Lemieux, but man do I want David to spark him out.
