Khan does deserve respect he is a good boxer. The problem is he fought Algeri when it should have been Brook but he knows Brook would have probably ruined his chance at Mayweather and honestly his performance against Algeri wasnt all that impressive and I see no reason why Floyd shouldnt fight him bc it will be a easy victory and a decent purse for Floyd. :boxing:
Hell yes. Cotto took a full year off after he won the title even though he had no injury. 6 months off would have been reasonable but 12 months off was unreasonable for a champion. Then after making the boxing world wait a full year he doesn't fight his mandatory challenger GGG but instead fights a guy GGG knocked out in 3 rounds less than a year ago. If Cotto wins he absolutely should quit stalling an give GGG the shot at the lineal title he has deserved for about 3 years. Everyone knows if Cotto wins his next fight will not be a fight with GGG but a big money fight with Canelo instead. Canelo will knock Cotto out Kirkland style in my opinion. I have considered GGG the true middleweight champ for years. How can any middleweight seriously claim to be the best 160 pounder in the world until they beat GGG. He is the best.
It is sad that organizations like the wbc or any other dont force there hands on fighters to fight the legitimate opponents. Too many great boxers out there not getting the fights or respect they deserve bc of boxing politics! Most other sporting organizations force greats to face the greats it is just the sensible thing to do. It always comes down to the money it seems like. For example Cotto has plenty of financial security back home in the form of gas stations etc. A true legend would challenge themselves. Cotto instead is choosing the path of least resistance. To state another example look at Khan I understand he wants to fight Mayweather in his supposedly last fight which is fine but saying he wont fight kell bc he isnt a big enough name is crap. I would have respected him saying I needed a practice fight with Algeri to test myself before a possible floyd match and after that i will take on kell and if the floyd match doesnt go through i will take on kell but instead he consistently dodges kell over and over bringing up other names yet still before kell. That just makes me feel he is scared of kell and for good reason too! To sum it up true legends take the path of most resistance period. Thats how they become legends! :biggthump
