CEBU CITY -- Francisco Rosas of Mexico met with the Cebu boxing media at the Maya Restaurant upon his arrival in Cebu Tuesday to answer questions related to his upcoming fight with highly-rated and undefeated Filipino contender Milan Melindo on Saturday headlining the 'Pinoy Pride VIII' card at the Waterfront Hotel & Casino.

"If he is good, he should have been world champion by now," Rosas, who fought some of the best names in his division including WBA world champion Roman Gonzalez of Nicaragua (twice), Juan Jose Landaeta of Venezuela, Juan Carlos Reveco of Argentina and Edgar Sosa of Mexico, told the Cebu scribes and was totally unimpressed with Melindo.
