Cotto is a chicken****. And If I am Bradley, I say 154, No more than that. Cotto needs to man up and meet his doom vs GGG.

One of the consequences of boxing becoming a niche sport is that the number of people who care about these absurdities has dwindled to nearly nothing.
Casual fans don't care about the legitimacy of lineages or what lineages stand for, so they don't care when they're denigrated like this either. It's great for promoters. Championships and lineages are reduced to marketing tools.

These are the fans that drive the sport and why guys like Arum and Haymon have made a killing.
