he got destroyed no excuses he didn't show up to fight and Cotto did end of story he couldn't handle the heat ...the fight was already over at the weigh in Cotto was on Sergios mental game over !
he needs to fight GGG once GGG dominates everyone else in his division Ward will have no choice to fight him or Kovalev ...call me crazy but i don't see him taking the W in either fight :drillserg
it definitely would generate a ton of money i know i would pay for it but i personally think that would be a bad decision on Cottos part i really dont think he would be able to deal with Canelo in the ring he is way too young way too powerful .....yes he lost to mayweather but he is the p4p king you cant hold it against him ... he said it himself he would never ever fight at a catchweight again he learned his lesson and is humble about it but regardless of all that ....Canelo > Cotto :boxing:
abysmal ? didn't cotto score 3 knockdowns in the first round ? Sergios performance was abysmal to say the least Cotto came out strong and probably the best shape he's been in , in years i don't think abysmal was the right word to say the least
Cotto did great, but Martinez definitely showed he is much less than his best anymore. On paper its a great win for Cotto, but in reality, its no where near his best win. The HBO guys are really good at making you think Cotto is sensational now with Roach.
nailed it right on the head wasn't that significant... Sergio is washed unfortunately ...and we all saw that by the end of the first round ....Time for sergio to hang those gloves up :owned2:
Hes fun to watch for sure but not a P4P fighter and not this unbeatable tank by any stretch of the imagination.
Need to see step up the competition quickly hes 32, 33 years old now and has the resume of a 23 year old prospect. When Geale a guy who got split vs a guy like Barker could be your best win of your career thats a problem imo.
Anxious to see him step up the competition. But crowning liek many have echoed in here is REALLY premature. He has yet to fight one fighter worth a damn and after the Geale fight Ill still feel the same way. Time to step if something doesnt open up at MW then move up.
I dont want to see him vs Andy Lee next.
personally id like to see him take on Peter Quillin,Felix Sturm,Cotto and then move up to Ward
Certain fan bases don't take kindly to a foreign power puncher getting any attention.
he is trying to become a popular fighter in the US his english is getting better i have faith he will be a household name soon in America we needed a guy like him in boxing ....
I think people are just wary of crowning him early given the mediocre opposition he's faced so far. But he definitely passes the eyeball test. Dude is a well-oiled, well-schooled machine. And a great personality as well. Despite that, prematurely crowning him isn't something I'd do.
his only short coming is his lack of head movement which is big and like.. I'm not trying to crown him but he is a force to be reckoned with and not to be overlooked like i see everyone doing ... hopefully after Geale he will get the big fights he deserves
No question he's a force to be reckoned with. And a likeable guy. But the pound for pound talk I hear and read is premature ejaculation right now.
as of right now he is undefeated and has the highest KO % in middleweight history ..... i wouldn't give him the p4p crown but if he keeps it up he will be
Deontay Wilder is doing the same thing, isn't he? Yet he gets criticized a lot as being a fraud and a hype job.
hmmm 31 fights 31 knock outs thats a problem and anyone who says different can't think straight and then when he fights big names and does the same thing no 1 will be able to say a damn thing until then let him rack up his body count
I think people just get fed up when their favorite fighters are called cherry pickers who don't fight the best yet GGG has a worse resume and gets a pass.
It's a double standard.
how long has GGG been fighting for professionally ? you have to start somewhere ........like i said looks at Moneys first 24 fights.....and then look at him now ggg fighting 4 times a year he's doing everything he can to make a name for himself and nobody is giving him the credit he deserves **** resume or not he's still getting in the ring and knocking people out and taking the W end of the day

GGG best comp yet !! Will he get the respect he deserves when the fight is all over and he walks away with the W ?????? That is the ?
its safe to say GGG would decimate Cotto regardless of how he has fought in the past ... therefore he would be a better opponent for mayweather but that fight would never happen that would be the check money couldnt cash and he is looking to retire undefeated and he isnt going to fight anyone that has a serious potential to take that away from him ... he learned that when he fought Maidana
Just for the sake of curiosity if not Khan then who do you think would come close to Dethone Mayweather?
Garcia would be way more entertaining then khan and since garcia already beat khan he deserves it more the khan does
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou1DL1ZvjO0
But Guerrero and Ortiz were that great and deserved it, right?
Khan has no right to demand a Floyd fight, but he is an acceptable choice for Floyd. I don't know what everyone's big problem is with him. He wouldn't be Floyd's (or Manny's) least deserving opponent ever.
And if Maidana could overwhelm Floyd with workrate early, imagine what Khan, a MUCH faster fighter and fairly quick starter, would do in the first couple of rounds. Floyd would be the favorite, but I wouldn't discount Khan's chances.
khan has a weak chin and money is going for the easy KO because he hasn't had one in a long time and no guerrero and ortiz didn't deserve a fight but that already happened its in the past khan lost to garcia regardless of the situation Khan was in .....Garcia deserves the fight then khan i have no objection to that i just don't think he deserves a shot before garcia considering the fact he already got tko'd in the 4th .....if garcia can do that to him what in the world do you think Money would do to him ? unless khan has been running drills to take punches to the chin its over for him i don't think the fight will go the distance i think he will get knocked out even earlier then the 4th :boxing:
Khan is boring? What weed you currently been on mate? He's anything but boring and has always been in exciting fights, get a clue, I think Khan would batter Floyd and will absolutely destroy him and Mayweather wants no part of Khan.
Ps: Mayweather is the boring fighter while Khan is few of the most exciting fighters out there.
obviously you're from the UK only reason why you would spew such non sense KHAN lost to danny garcia in the 4th round via TKO and floyd will wash garcia ... i hope they fight ill put a months salary up that he destroys khan in the USA OR NOT Khan is more boring then boring ....Floyd has been boring the past few years and like i said i would love to see him dethroned but that bum Khan is not going to be the one to do it thats for sure he will get picked apart round by round by round
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ? Khan is a scrub and is a boring fighter he will get destroyed by Money lol thats not even a ? i want Money to lose just as bad as the next guy just off the fact of his personality but Khan will not be the guy to give him that first loss that is facts Vegas or UK lol that my friend was bold statement on your part
There's a term called styles makes fights which you probably aren't aware about. I agree Khan would get destroyed by Canelo,Thurman etc. Khan struggles against punchers and not against boxers, Mayweather is not a huge puncher and I don't see him hurting Khan or stopping him, Khan has never struggled against a boxer and has never been outboxed plus he has some ridiculous handspeed to cause some serious damage early on. Floyd has been fighting slow flat footed brawlers for a long while now and Danny would be no exception, just my opinion.
i am well aware of styles and khans does not impress me ....
Yes, Khan lost to Danny Garcia two years ago. So what? He beat Maidana, Kotelnik, Paulie, Judah and Collazo. And I'm pretty sure he would spank Guerrero (whom Floyd had no problem fighting).
what do you mean so what you can honestly say that Khan will beat Money ? that is just insane and unrealistic even in a fight where one punch can change everything he doesn't have the skill to beat Money maybe in a few years when Money is 45 and teaching kids how to box and does nothing else with his time :la:
I don't see it happening outside of the USA. England is 5 hours ahead, so if the fight is at 11PM EST that would be 4am English time.
facts... its not happening outside the US unless it is khan no other fighter in the UK will even come close to generating something Money would even possibly be interested in except Khan
You are a complete imbecile of a poster, how much more hate can you generate for Khan? yeh we get your point you don't like Khan, Now FUCK off elsewhere unless you want to post something merely relevant to the boxing world instead of your trolling nonsense.
did i once say i hated Khan ? i don't even know the guy on a personal level but do i think he should / have the right to fight Money ...not a snowballs chance in hell chap
Khan hasn't proven himself at 147 to the degree that it warrants a Mayweather fight, but people forget he was already the frontrunner for May before Maidana made a statement against Broner. That would've been a pretty indefensible cherry-pick.
Although I've criticized Khan in the past, I don't really have an issue with the fight given that Khan at least has some things going for him that we don't as often see Floyd up against. Plus, I don't really think Maidana could improve upon his performance in the rematch, and I'd like to see Floyd's supposed "last few fights" against different fighters rather than waste some on rematches of fights he already won.
i agree to a certain extent yes i do not want to see Money in any rematches but Khan for real ? he will walk thru him
Khan isn't on Floyd's level. Not even close. Khan should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Floyd. That's not me being a nuthugger, that's just the reality of it. Other than speed, there's nothing Khan does better than Floyd.
i dont understand why people can't understand that ......mind you most of the people sticking up for Khan are from the UK and they just can't comprehend that Khan really isn't that great and doesn't deserve to step into the ring with the p4p king and trust me i always bet against Money and lose so its not like I'm rooting for him but Khan is garbage all talk hell get smoked in the ring by Money
Lemme put this right. Khan would probably lose to Floyd but cmon Khan has some strong attributes to trouble Mayweather, specially in the early rounds. Floyd would probably adjust after and win a close UD. But I have strong faith that fight with Khan would be closer than what people think, Khan would do much much better than Guerrero,Ortiz,Canelo and some of Floyd's other opponents.
As far as Floyd fighting Khan in the Uk, I don't think so.
Canelo would chew khan up and spit him out and money beat canelo khan will get destroyed id rather see garcia fight then khan because as we all know garcia already gave khan the business
