All you guys complaining about cotto not giving GGG a shot are crazy and simply put cotto haters.
For one Cotto began his career at 135-140lbs and has accomplished championship belts on 4 divisions. So if you guys were to compare Cotto's accomplishment vs GGG you would have to imagine how well GGG would do three divisions above his natural which would be cruiser weight or light heavy and I'll be damn if GGG can KO anybody at those weight classes.
Just saying cant compare apple to oranges and BTW even though this was a catchweight cotto only weighted 153.6 to defend against a natural 160lbs.
Exactly, my point being cotto being at the tail end of his career and still able to look good at MW by resorting to skills against opponent at higher weight class than he is. There is no way anyone can say Cotto is natural MW because he is in his mid 30s, I mean he only weighted 153.6, his frame is smaller compared to any natural 160lbs.
He has faced all top P4P in each division and granted lost some while GGG is in his prime but has not faced someone in Top P4P.
I'm a fan of Both GGG and Cotto but GGG has not face the adversity Cotto has to this day.
If we were to compare them both to a even level, it would be like saying GGG had already competed against Ward, Lemieux, Froch, and maybe a few others.
I always laugh when someone keeps bringing Cotto ducking GGG, its like they started to watch boxing 2 years ago.
Floyd is a champ at 147 and154*
Martinez is a champ at 160
Martinez isnt fighting the top guys at 160
Floyd is fighting the top guys in both 147 and 154
Martinez isnt even fighting GGG lol whos in his weightclass
Martinez is calling out a 154 pounder a weight he hasnt fought in 5 yrs
Martinez is scared of his own division so he wants to come down
Martinez fears GGG
I agree with you on this one Martinez is a great figther not taking anything away from him and he has always look impresive. However he wanted to fight and called out FLoyd, Pacquiao at some point even mentioned cotto, all of them figthers avareging 147lbs tops.
But he totally disregarded Pirog and GGG, both legit 160lbs contenders not paper or popularity based contenders ie CHavez jr, Williams had never fought anybody else at 160lbs, how in earth was williams #1 contender at 160.. Martinez has a good chance at winning against those two but the punishment he will get on the process will accumulate and quickly and that he is scared.
Explain howhe has guts to call Chavez Jr. paper champ, but yet he dont even considers or mentions the top 2 middleweight contenders..??:boxing:
Mathysse did even got hit in the Dallas fight so they might make the fight quick, maybe in April, I hope. It could be the reason for the sudden withdraw from jugah fight.
Who the fxck cares how much your favorite boxer ppv draw is.
It so annoying reading some comments on how low the ppv draw was , therefore canelo should not give him a fight??
Seriously why some people even care about that stuff, I dont get it.
Matthysse is going to test positive for something, the fight won't happen.
I dunno but tell me how a guy could not completely stop Judah or Devon is now decapitating everyone. Nobody gets stronger with age unless they use chemicals.
Disgraceful coward move by Cotto. Canelo gets some respect points from me, he agreed to everything so Cotto has no excuses. Truth is, it was a disguised belt drop to avoid Gennady. Just pathetic and cowardly.
Dude did you even read the whole news report ??
Verdejo is not ready for this fight yet. He has the capabilities to beat Salido, but just not at this moment, he is too young and his chin not anywhere near Salido.
I can see Salido's resiliency to keep coming forward been a problem for Verdejo.:no:
