[flabbergasted]ferdie roach says GGG,not pacuqiao,is the #1 p4p now that Tbe retired

[boliodogs]

He has been a fighter and a trainer most of his life and he understood the question. His answer was clear. He thinks GGG will be the new best fighter pound for pound. You may not agree with him but he trains Cotto and Pacquiao and he still picked GGG over them as the new number 1 pound for pound guy. I don't agree with him when he says Cotto is a sure thing to beat Canelo. I know Roach is a great trainer and very knowledgeable about boxing. His disease doesn't make him less intelligent.

Beating Hopkins the way he did is better than any win on GGG or Rapist Stevensons record.

How? Had Dawson not already beat him just as impressively? Stevenson KO of Dawson is the best win for either...

[rajaomair]

kovalev vs ward and ggg vs canelo are probably my two most anticipated fights that could be made

Me 2 mate.

[Basco]

Ward is a bonafide LHW, what about this is confusing to you. When your last fight is at 172 and your next 3 are at 175, you are a LHW.

GGG weighs 165 30 days away from fight night, he is a straight up middleweight.

You are complaining that a natural middleweight isn't fighting a guy that has transitioned into a light heavyweight.

Based on your logic, could you explain a Cotto vs GGG fight?

[ИATAS]

In less than a year Roach goes from saying he's never seen Golovkin fight to he'll be the next #1 p4p fighter. I guess he got to watch him fight.

But yeah it's no surprise he doesn't say pacquiao. Pacquiao was #1 fighter for a while, lost a couple times and he's going to retire in 1 or 2 more fights so the end is very near.

i wonder if those two had some kind of falling out

I was thinking the same thing.

[Fetta]

The old man looks good but hasnt done anything to prove it. So no he isnt 1

I wonder the same thing, I have the feeling that relationship is not what it used to be.

Based on your logic, could you explain a Cotto vs GGG fight?

Very easily. Cotto = WBC and RING MW title holder. GGG = WBA MW title holder and IBF title holder after beating Lemieux and possibly WBO champion if he fights and beats Lee. Two MW title holders meet in a unification bout to decide the undisputed MW champion of the world.

It's not rocket science. If Cotto wants out all he has to do is to vacate his title and walk away. No excuses needed. Cotto doesn't have to start whining about not being a real middleweight. If he is not a middleweight then he should not be holding middleweight titles. If he is, then he has to defend them AGAINST MIDDLEWEIGHTS.

I think it's been over a year now since he said he has never seen Golovkin fight, then he said Golovkin has the best footwork of any fighter today, and now p4p best.
