It was a bad day for GGG

[SeekDaGreat]

Cotto isn't the man at 160.

I grant him, he beat the lineal. (Sounds grand. Like what a Flom0 would say.)

But lets keep it 1 million.

Dude isn't the dude that played the dude disguised as another dude.

Lmfao. Post of the night man.

3G is the real deal to me.

This whole thing has hosed Golovkin big time, it was a bad day for him when the fight got signed. If he was younger this might be easier to shrug off but dude is already 32 he only has so much time to really make it.

It actually doesnt really affect GGG at all. Based on Saturday night there is no way Dibella would of let Martinez near GGG.

So GGG is really in the same place he always was, the supposed lineal champ is ducking him. So he just has to keep fighting 4 times a year KOing the other fighters in the division so there is no doubt hes the man.

Cotto beating Martinez then fighting nobodies after doesnt make him the champ.

He wouldn't, but HBO has that one fight left and they probably wouldn't approve anybody other than GGG.

Things could work out well for him yet. Cotto v Canelo is a viable option; if the later wins, a show down with GGG would be the likely option.

Why doesn't he just do what Martinez did when he had no takers at 154? Move up.

He has already made it. Big money multi-fight deal with HBO, doing 1m+ viewers and is now by common consent the #1 MW in the world.

Still even under those circumstances which is probably Golovkin's best hope, that is about a year out (maybe 10 or 11 months) from now. I don't know that it is wise for a guy of Golovkin's age to be waiting around on something that may or may not come. Although he might not have much of a choice other than that and staying busy beating up other "top" middleweights.

On the HBO pay scale he does not get paid that well. I am sure he wants real boxing accomplishments, not some fantasy stuff.
