Some of you here are assuming that he's juiced because he knocked out Daniel Geale? Even at the weight Geale came in, and with a 153 Cotto, you could have at least predicted Cotto knocking this guy out. Cotto is simply in a higher class, and that left hook was a thing of beauty(even if it was preceded by a head butt).
Others are mad because Cotto is more popular than GGG?? This hate I just don't get. Just a quick look at both guys boxrec can show you why Cotto is the bigger draw. He's fought p4p fighters from all over the world throughout the years. Golovkin will get there, but he's not there (in terms of popularity).
I do agree that Cotto is ducking him a little(and I think that's smart because GGG would probably beat his ass) and the reason is he can make more money with Canelo. And that's just something every boxer does.
Theres no way you can make excuses, he is just simply levels above Geale. Didnt he weigh under the Jnr Middle limit on fight night? And someone said Geale can weigh as much as a light heavy on fight night. Thats pretty impressive, even if Cotto is on the slide (which I'm sure he probably is) he's still improved under Roach. Footwork was incredible.
They'll miss him when he's gone thats for sure.
These guys are not going to be here for that much longer and I certainly don't currently see another Cotto, or Mayweather on the horizon. I remember these guys when they were coming through, only a few fights and you could see they had exceptional talent. I don't see guys of this calibre coming through at the moment, so enjoy them while it lasts.
Some of these fighters coming through are good fighters don't get me wrong but I don't see anything exceptional, The super bantamweights and featherweights are heating up again, and there are some really good fighters in there but is there a Barrera, Marquez, or Morales?...I don't think so.
Because he's nothing but an "A side" collaborator with Roach at this point. Doing to fighters what he's complained about done to him. No respect for the sport or his opponents. I used to be a fan but I am no longer.
I don't recall him complaining about the Pacquiao catchweight if that's what you are referring to?

This place is full of haters that get behind whoever they think is going to win. Cotto had a few losses so he's no longer popular here. As soon as GGG has his first loss they'll flee from him like they did with so many others. Doesn't really matter though, unless you actually care what these guys say.
I doubt anybody is hating, people just calling a spade a spade.
since clottely He hasnt had a legit win over a 100% healty non catchweight figther ever all 100% healthy non catchweight fighters he faced he lost.
But somehow pointing that out is hating.
