Freddie Roach on GGG: Nobody knows him. He can't do 10 cents on PPV. He brings no $$$ to the table

Being fukking ripped right now I had to reread those quotes from Roach :mjlol:

Didn't he also say they needed to get GGG "down to about 154" :beli: they ducking just admit y'all chasing checks and playing it safe.

Didn't Roach say like a month ago they'd fight GGG if he came down closer to 155?

Now all of a sudden GGG ain't worth 10 cents on PPV but Chris Algieri is a PPV blockbuster...

team pink definitely not scared...:comeon:

That's it. To me Cotto is still a 154 lb'er. So I won't put any pressure on Cotto having to defend his title against GGG. But if Cotto wants to campaign at 160 for awhile, he has to fight GGG no excuses. I think the GGG coming to 155 is just talk. GGG makes 160 easily and I don't think it gives Cotto any advantages that turn the fight in his favor. GGG is still naturally bigger, stronger, a better chin, and a much harder puncher.

I understand why Cotto-Canelo is more likely and am hoping it gets made. A great matchup and great for the sport in terms of ratings.

Cotto need to forfeit that belt, he's at most a 154. Even at 154 he'd be outboxed by 3-4 guys between 147-154.
I do believe he could outbox GGG though
