How is Mayweather beating GGG a better win than beating Cotto at MW?

[Lords]

Because people love to hype up untested KO artists.

While Golovkin is winning "Who would win" polls vs Froch, Kessler and is able to duck Ward; Cotto has actually won real fights.

Im just wondering how these GGG nut huggers aren't nut hugging Wilder too.

Funny you mention that. Wilder is considered an untested bum slayer on these forums, yet he's fought and beat as many former champs as Golovkin has, 2. He also has a higher KO% and true one punch KO power, not to mention he fights in the glorious heavyweight division.

This this and this.

Still the exact same scenario. Floyd already beat Cotto. Would it be more impressive if Mayweather beat Marquez a second time since Marquez is far more accomplished than Golovkin? Of course not. Moving up in weight and beating a legit middleweight champion in Golovkin would be huge.

But that's unnecessary and unrealistic. Floyd isn't obligated to fight Golovkin at middleweight or even at junior middleweight since GGG doesn't campaign there. It's not fair to Floyd to say he should have to fight Golovkin. But since you made the topic, yeah it would be a huge win that would mean a lot more than beating Cotto again. We already know Mayweather beats Cotto.

Just because he does not have any big name opponents, does not mean he is not a Dominant World Champion with 14 title defenses. He is considered THE MAN at 160.

You can try all the hyperbole you desire, but Cotto is just a placeholder.

It is so ******. Everyone at 160 ducks him, including Cotto, and there are some here justifying that duck and others by saying GGG has not fought anyone.

Are you all that scared of GGG that you dont want name fighters fighting him?

TS if Floyd beats GGG a guy he has never faced and a true MW champ them that does more for his legacy than beating up a guy he already fought and convincingly won. How do u not get it?

[vorgaphe]

Solid bump. Garbageovkin is nothing to brag about. Let's wait until this guy gets a decent with against a decent MW for once before he's hyped to oblivion.

He's beaten former two time champion in Geale and multiple top ranked contenders. Let's not be acting like GGG has been beating rank nobodies.

[Build That Wall]

GGG is a natural middleweight and he is an all around better fighter than Cotto. Floyd beats GGG IMO.


GGG will only have 1 loss in his career. That will be to Andre Ward. GGG will beat Everyone else put in front of him.

He's black.


What do I win!?!?!?

Come on Obvious question.

Floyd's already handily beaten Cotto.

If Floyd were to beat Golvokin at 160 I would be amazed.
