    cottoAt the Pacquiao-Algieri press conference, ThaBoxingVoice.com had a chance to speak with the trainer of Manny Pacquiao, Freddie Roach. We asked him about his plans with another fighter from his stable, Miguel Cotto.

    He told us, “We will pass on the December date. Miguel did not want to go to The Philippines, where I will be training Manny Pacquiao. Alvarez is the fight we want. And we hope that is going to happen sometime next year.”

    ThaBoxingVoice.com also asked the trainer of the year about a potential fight between Miguel Cotto and Gennady Golovkin.

    “For a Golovkin fight, we don’t have the PPV audience yet. He is not well known yet. He is a great fighter. But the thing is, you don’t want to fight a guy that tough for no money. Alvarez is the fight we want right now, cause I feel that is the best fight for my fighter. If after that Golovkin is more popular, we will fight him, I’m sure.”
