Naniniwala ang sumisikat na si WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin ng Kazakhstan na malaki ang pagkakataon ng Amerikanong si Brandon Rios na ma-upset si Pambansang Kamao Manny Pacquiao ngunit mas paborito niyang manalo ang Pinoy boxer sa sobrang bilis nito.
Sa panayam ni Chris Robinson ng Hustle Boss, iginiit ni Golovkin bagong pasok sa Top 10 ng pound-for-pound rankings ng Ring Magazine, na angat si Pacquiao kay Rios pagdating sa kalidad ng mga kalaban.
“It’s a different style and a different class,” pahayag ni Golovki. “Manny, for me, he’s number one. He’s first-class.”
“With his aggressive style, certain insiders believe Rios is tailor-made for Pacquiao due to the movement, speed, and combination-punching that the southpaw from General Santos City, Philippines possesses.”
Naniniwala rin ang boksingero, nakatakdang idepensa ang korona laban sa Amerikanong si Curtis Stevens sa Nobyembre 2 sa United States, na posibleng matulad si Rios sa dating ka-stable nito na si Antonio Margarito na binugbog nang husto ni Pacquiao.
“I think [it’s] the same fight,” giit pa ni Golovkin. “It’s the same style. Brandon, he’s a good fighter but he doesn’t have speed like Manny. [Pacquiao] is much better at moving and his speed is much better.”
“For Brandon it’s a big problem, the speed.” Ngunit hindi matiyak ni Golovkin nang tanungin kung nakarekober na ang Pilipino sa pagkatalo sa 6th round knockout kay Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez.
“I don’t know,” sabi ni Golovkin. “Seriously, I don’t know.”
Gayunman, idinagdag ni Golovkin na nakabase ngayon sa Germany na may bahagyang pag-asa si Rios na manalo kay Pacquiao.
“I respect Brandon, Brandon is a brave fighter. Brandon has a big chance,” dagdag ni Golovkin. “He’s a good fighter. Strong punch, good coach. He’s a great fighter [against] anybody.” – Gilbert Espeña
