In an interview with Boxingscene.com web portal, Roach talked about Cotto's next opponents. "They [Canelo and Golovkin] both just had fights. After this we'll talk to both camps and see what the best offer is. Canelo is the likely next. He does more pay-per-view. It's Puerto Rico vs. Mexico, it's a bigger fight right now. Golovkin is making noise. He's coming around, he's a good puncher. I think the winner of Canelo-Cotto would have to fight him for sure," he said. Asked about the date of the possible Cotto-Golovkin fight, Roach said, ‘I would love that fight next year'.
