Roberto Garcia on Brandon Rios: "He has still never been knocked out or taken a bad beating. He takes punches, but he has always taken punches. I think Brandon is ready to come back strong."
Sure we'll fight him...at 154 for the 160 strap...http://espn.go.com/blog/dan-rafael/post/_/id/10007/roach-no-problem-with-cotto-ggg
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, butanyways.
at Dirrell looking good after such a long layoff. Looks like he bulked up a lil bit too. He seemed quicker in the past, but he was still quick. He beat the shyt outta Love in that sparring video.
at Teddy spazzing out about GGG. Sooner or later he'll become a #GGGoodBoy. 
Closer to 154, a weight Golovkin has already stated plenty of times he can make if a big fight presented itself. This is a big fight.Sure we'll fight him...at 154 for the 160 strap...
The 160 strap should be defended at 160 not closer to 154...
160 is just the maximum weight, 155 the minimum. They can negotiate whatever they want. Once those contracts are signed, all excuses fly out the window. If they offer a lower weight and Golovkin and his team feel that they can make the weight comfortably, what's the problem?
The 160 strap should be defended at 160...not the catchweight minimum of 155...
Well, yeah, he said it clear as day that the Canelo fight is the 1st option. All he was doing as affirming that GGG is on they're radar and that he wouldn't mind that fight being made. Sure there may be other demands, but the bigger the fighter, the tougher the negotiations, this has always been the case. GGG is the B side, there's no other way around it, either negotiate and try to put your fighter in the best position possible or move on.
Take him to his first AB fightI haven't been, but Im thinking about it heavy. Its my son's birthday though
Was really his reaction when he saw this on IG…
