(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Dan Ambrose: Unlike a lot of people who see Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) as having to struggle to beat WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) in their fight on September 14th, trainer Freddie Roach sees this as an easy fight for Mayweather. Roach thinks Mayweather’s difficult to beat when he’s choosing to box his opposition rather giving them chances by choosing to mix it up.
Roach said in an interview with ewsnewsreporting.com “I think Mayweather wins easily. When he wants to box and he doesn’t take any chances, he’s very good at it. I think he’s going to win this fight easily.”

By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach feels that Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) may have very little choice but to fight his guy Manny Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KO’s) by next year after Mayweather’s September 14th fight against WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. 
By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach thinks the key to his fighter Manny Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KO’s) getting a long awaited mega fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) is if Pacquiao is able to get a 5th fight with Juan Manuel Marquez (55-6-1, 40 KO’s) and knock him out. 
By Chris Williams: Strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza was amused to learn that trainer Freddie Roach had fired him as Manny Pacquiao’s strength and conditioning coach. Ariza says he doesn’t even work for Roach, so there’s no way possible that he could fire him.
By Chris Williams: As reportedly over the weekend, trainer Freddie Roach has reportedly fired strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza after meeting with Manny Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KO’s) to speak with him about problems he’d been having with him.
By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach doesn’t think it’s productive for boxing fans to be looking at his fighter Manny Pacquiao’s recent back to back losses. Roach thinks those losses are part of history, and don’t give any idea of what’s to happen in the future with Manny. 
By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach doesn’t seem to understand that Floyd Mayweather Jr. isn’t interested in facing his fighter Manny Pacquiao unless he’s willing to sign a contract with Mayweather Promotions to make the fight happen. 
By Dan Ambrose: Miguel Cotto (37-4, 30 KO’s) is now being trained by Freddie Roach and he’s looking at fighting three more times before wrapping up his boxing career. Cotto will start training soon with Roach at the Wildcard Gym in Los Angeles, California for Cotto’s next fight against Delvin Rodriguez (28-6-3, 16 KO’s) in Florida.
By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KO’s) has lost his last two fights and he’s looking nothing like the form that he had back in 2009 when he beat Miguel Cotto by a 12th round TKO. Pacquiao is coming off a vicious 6th round KO at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez last December, and before that, Pacquiao was beaten by Tim Bradley by a 12 round split decision in June of last year.
