For me this is literally the only way Golovkin VS Cotto will happen; if Cotto were to set a catchweight of 155lbs for Golovkin to make. Golovkin would be drained an awful lot.
It would be an absolutely ludicrous demand and I really doubt GGG would give into the demand. I think Cotto knows GGG destroys him when he weighs 159/160lbs.
Who cares about Cotto? That loser cant draw fans anymore because of his diva ****, the only guys in the audience are there because of GGG. (they are actually mobbing GGG right now). Cotto will get knocked out by Canelo anyway if that fight happens and then Cotto will be quickly forgotten and only remembered for his diva status.
The MW division is in a crisis right now. You have GGG in desperation mode actually believing, his entire career hinges on beating a past prime ex 140lb fighter. How some allow themselves to say silly shyt like "war GGG doe," in light of this sad reality, is heartbreaking.
Man, if Cotto were to ever beat the shyt out of GGG, the silence in this place would be something to witness. Then again, you can't keep a determined peasant down. They will begin posting silly shyt like: " But GGG was winning until his eye got bigger than Cotto's balls..." "But, the ref was biased doe" "But that was not the real GGG... He seemed overrated and sluggish doe"
Pac was already established and a Hall of Fame fighter before he went up and faced Cotto. Cotto was already on his way to solidifying his place amongst this generation's best
GGG's entire career is dependent on a past-prime fighter who is fighting a MW title fight weighing under the Jr MW limit to give him an opportunity to make a name for himself. Sad really
So simple...So sad.
We will go through 300 more of these threads because the peasants, just can't seem to grasp the simplicity.
So on one hand you recognize that Cotto is a washed up fighter but you still want him to get in the ring for these so called "real" fighters can fight - so I suppose in your world, the big boys in their overhyped Dodge Challengers should just steamroll over the Prius just because they can, although it proves nothing.
Cotto / GGG then accomplishes what? GGG would still be a paper champ because he beat up a battered, old man who's currently fighting tonight UNDER the Jr. MW division.
I'm curious, I just think people are salty because Cotto's opponent tonight is considered a tune-up by Cotto standards, but for GGG, Geale represents GGG's greatest in-ring accomplishment - it's a hard pill to swallow I suppose.
Nah. Olympic Silver.
That must make the "math" for Pac-Cotto even more hilarious: Ex Flyweight beats the ever-loving dogsh*t out of ex jr welter
If they were in the joint, Cotto would be washing Pacs drawers.....
You know cotto's weight when they were the same age?
Peasants... Let it go. We all know Cotto is your favorite giant killer. Admit that deeeeeeep down, you want Cotto to save Canelo by fighting GGG on behalf of Canelo. Keep it real....Canelo is 155lbs and claiming silly shyt like, "when I move up to 160lbs, I will fight everyone..." As if 155 is somehow featherweight. Dude is a warrior when it comes to fighting KO victims like Kirkland but feels a bit "light" when it comes to GGG.
Buncha peasants...
Cotto weighed in at 153.6 so it is very clear that the man is not a Middleweight at all so yeah not really Cotto but Freddie Roach is going to try and drain the hell out of GGG if they fight. If he doesn't want to fight GGG then he can easily just Drop The Title!
Cotto vs Canelo doesn't really need to be for a title to be a big match up so Cotto can just drop that title WBC and let GGG go fight a Bum for it.
There's two sides of the fence with this Cotto/GGG debate. No one side will win the argument. But all I know is I'd hate to be on the side that's actually defending the lineal middleweight champion having a 157lb catchweight in a title fight!
What the ****, man.
And I'm also glad I'm not on the side of the man who's very very very clearly ducking another fighter who has been calling for a shot against the WBC champion for years and is now mandatory. Not to mention Cotto has duck'd Canelo twice already in one year lmao.
I'm out.
Why would Cotto duck Canelo, he hasn't looked good at all for anyone to be scared of him...

This is salt in the wound for a lot of people here!
If you actually took the time to read the thread, you would see that I already posted my opinion regarding whether or not GGG would be drained and about how I believe Golovkin would go about making weight for a huge fight like a Mayweather one would be. Maybe you should actually read things before making yourselves look like @ssholes.
Nah bro, u are the a-hole for trying to make hypothesis that suit your bias. If he can do all that for Floyd then he can do it for cotto and canelo as well. Both will be at catchweighs. Accept it n move on. Stop trying to have it both ways.
right now Cotto is in the way. He's like that 70 year old woman in a Prius doing 45 in the left lane. She cant hang with the big boys, but wont get out of the way either.
Cotto either needs to put on his big boy undies and fight his mando, or vacate and let some REAL fighters fight for it.
And NOBODY thinks Cotto will ever fight GGG. He wont. Ever. Even at 154.2. Its not happening. Cotto knows he gets his sh*t pushed in no matter the weight. We just want him to get out of the way so GGG can unify.

Boom!
These guys just want a hero at any cost. Barcham would slit his wrists if Cotto were to beat GGG. He is so confident it's a walk in the park for GGG and yet, he thinks Cotto legitimizes GGG as a GREAT MW?
The math is hilarious: Middleweight beats ex Jr. welter to become a hero in the eyes of fanboy.
Fck outta here. War Cotto!
Peasant logic is starting to make me feel compassion for what they must go through. The desperation is always present.
But doe, (insert PR name) got lucky doe.
Keep defending your man.
Just like a good house wife.
WARRRRR COTTO SOLIDERS....
Hey, shit for brains... Mayweather is a title holder at 154 so he is fair game.
Cotto holds the 16 lineal middleweight title. That means he should defend it at 160 or vacate the damn thing and crawl back to 154 where he belongs. If he needs a catchweight, he is a pussy.
Totally avoiding the point in regards to being drained - but why stay on topic?
How will a fight vs Mayweather at 154 be a good fight, but a fight vs Cotto at 155 or 156 not be a good fight either? If GGG chews him up and spits him out as expected, then the end result is still the same and he's the lineal champ.
If there are no problems with Mayweather forcing him to suck down to Jr. MW for a payday and prestige, why are there problems with Cotto. If GGG is still a strong fighter at 154, he'll be a strong fighter at 155 too.
If and when Cotto goes back to 154, all you casual over night GGG "fans" will just call him a puzzy for ditching the title, despite the fact that he weighed in under the Jr. MW for tonight's fight. I think you guys are secretly afraid that Cotto and Mayweather would put the beatdown on this overhyped dude and hoping they retire so GGG can continue to eat on the Willie Monroes of the world.
I can't wait - I see it now, GGG vs Ward @ 165 cause GGG is too small and NSB casuals praising GGG's willingness to take on all comers!
Either way, you are a keyboard warrior - Cotto is in his fourth weightclass with nothing more to prove. When GGG is fighting at cruiserweight, his fourth weight class, then he'll be deserving of respect, otherwise he's a puzzy.

Not really an excuse. If Golovkin is gonna be drained he's gonna be drained. Doesn't matter who his opponent is. Should cotto fight him at 160? Sure. Should Golovkin fans complain about draining if he doesn't, sure. Should those same Golovkin fans be calling for Floyd vs Golovkin. Not if they are complaining about draining. All of u guys want it a million ways. Pick a stance and stay wit it. Stop acting like *****es.
NSB be like...
Mayweather/GGG @ 154 is a good fight
Cotto/GGG @ 155 is draining GGG therefore Cotto is a puzzy.
You guys should be happy that Cotto will give GGG a chance to "legitimize" his "reign" off the back of a washed up former Jr. WW.

I can only see GGG-Cotto happening under one condition: Golovkin makes 155lbs | BoxingScene Community
