在菲律宾的桑托斯将军城 - 罗奇说,他希望看到WBC中量级冠军米格尔·库托面对CANELO阿尔瓦雷兹,然后是WBA拳王根纳季·戈洛夫金。
罗奇说;我认为阿尔瓦雷兹显然是我们的头号选择,我们赢得了比赛后,很愿意去打戈洛夫金。当然,还有梅威瑟在那里,他回避曼尼但他击败过库托一次,我不知道,但如果他想打我们,那对我来说将是一场非常有趣的战斗。
2013年10月库托在第三回合技术性击倒罗德里格斯后告诉我,如果打梅威瑟的时候我有这个状态,一定会把他灭了。我很喜欢他现在所拥有的的信心。
我们会像以前一样,接下来面对戈洛夫金,因为我们拥有160磅的金腰带,我们必须捍卫它。我认为他是我们最完美的对手,也许这是两个世界上最强战士之间的对决。
GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Philippines – Freddie Roach says he wants to see THE RING/WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto face Canelo Alvarez next, followed by oft-avoided WBA titleholder Gennady Golovkin. The six-time BWAA trainer of the year, who is training WBO welterweight titleholder Manny Pacquiao for his Nov. 22 fight with Chris Algieri, laid out his dream plans for the four-division titleholder from Caguas, Puerto Rico. “I think Canelo Alvarez is obviously our number-one choice, and then I would love to go fight Triple G [Gennady Golovkin] after we win that fight,” said Roach. “Of course there’s [Floyd] Mayweather out there, he’s ducking Manny but he beat Cotto once and I don’t know if he wants to fight us but that’s a pretty interesting fight for me. “Cotto told me after our first fight together [a third-round technical knockout of Delvin Rodriguez in October 2013], ‘If I was in this kind of shape when I fought Mayweather I would’ve knocked him out.’ I like his confidence there.” Alvarez (44-1-1, 31 KOs) recently signed a deal to bring him back to the HBO network after fighting on Showtime for the past several fights. Alvarez withdrew from his Dec. 6 bout with Joshua Clottey due to an ankle injury, which promoter Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions says had been hampering him since before his most recent fight against Erislandy Lara. De La Hoya says that Alvarez will instead return on May 2, 2015 – the weekend before Cinco De Mayo – with Cotto (39-4, 32 KOs) and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. shortlisted as potential opponents to go against Floyd Mayweather’s pay-per-view event on Showtime against an opponent to be named. Golovkin (30-0, 27 KOs) will face perennial contender Marco Antonio Rubio this Saturday at the Stubhub Center in Carson, California, with the interim WBC title also at stake. The winner of the bout would logically be the mandatory challenger for Cotto, who won the belt with a one-sided 10th-round TKO of Sergio Martinez in June of this year. “I would like one fight before that [facing Golovkin.] Obviously we do have a 160-pound title we have to defend and I think he’s the perfect opponent for us. Maybe the two best fighters in the world,” said Roach, who also brought former WBC lightweight titleholder Antonio DeMarco, who faces Jessie Vargas on the Pacquiao-Algieri undercard, and former IBF super middleweight titleholder Lucian Bute to the Pacquiao training camp in GenSan.
