I missed it, what did he say about GGG?
He was mad that they were putting him in comparison with Marvin Hagler. Says he likes GGG but :whoa: on jumping the gun on calling him great. The other guy mentioned how GGG has a 90% KO rate and Teddy got animated and said "but against who". Also said he should fight either Ward or Froch.

But if the Golovkin fight is presented to Cotto, trainer Freddie Roach said he certainly would not stand in the way.

"I like the Canelo fight better, but I like a fight with Golovkin second. I'd have no problem taking that fight," Roach said on Friday, over the phone from his Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California.

Roach was ringside for Golovkin-Geale. He had never seen GGG fight and wanted to get a good look at him up close. Roach's fighter, junior middleweight Glen Tapia, was supposed to be on the undercard, but when his bout was canceled at the last minute, Roach decided to remain in New York to watch Golovkin (30-0, 27 KOs).

He came away impressed, but not fearful of Cotto (39-4, 32 KOs) facing him.

"He hits very well. I don't think he has the best defense in the world, but he is a very offensive fighter and a strong puncher," Roach said. "If we did fight him I'd like the fight to be closer to 154 [pounds] to make him come down a little bit. He's very strong, but I think we definitely could negotiate that fight for sure.

"Cotto made 155 last time [for the Martinez fight]. He's a little smaller than Golovkin, so I'd like him to come down as far as possible."


Don't think we have to worry about the fight being made as Canelo-Cotto is the logical fight financially and more comparable size wise, but :obama: anyways.

Y'all think Shannon Briggs gonna run to the ring with a chair and jump off the turnbuckle during the Klitschko/Pulev fight?
maybe he'll drop down in the ring with a fan and parachute.
