Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Trainer: Cotto Should Face 160-Pounder or Drop

[bigjavi973]

And that's the right answer to go with. Because GGG would dismantle Cotto in less that 6 rounds. Stick to bigger money so to avoid Gennady.

ggg is sticking to 160 cuz he doesnt wanna fight ward at 168

Did you title your comment Dumb as in prefacing your comment?? Because you're spot on if that's the case. That's the problem with Boxing today; money is first in everyone's agenda. It's not about fighting the best of the best in their prime , win, lose, or draw... To man up and see who the best is. Golovkin's trainer is old school, let money be secondary. Go fight the best, unify the division titles. Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Benitez, Pryor, Arguello.... That's how those legends did it. Money takes care of itself when you're fighting the best. Even To Sergio's demise, he said 'Make the Cotto fight happen'... He was less concerned with who made more or if there were a safer payday to be had. GGG's trainer is totally in line calling out Cotto who won a title from a shot, 40 year old Sergio Martinez. If you're gonna call yourself Middleweight Champion, then man up to the best at Middleweight. If not, dump the belt and clean out everyone at 154. That's fair.

"golovkins trainer is old school, let money be secondary." Thats bull****, then why is team GGG saying that the ward fight makes no financial sense. sounds like hypocracy to me.

[bigjavi973]

It doesn't. Golovkin makes a ton more money fighting either Canelo, Cotto or even Chavez jr than Ward.

and cotto makes more money fight mayweather, chavez jr or canelo. GGG couldnt even get 9,000 to sit at msg

I'd bet a steak dinner that GGG would accept the fight even at 154.1 lbs and would ghoul Cotto no matter what conditions the diva Cotto made..........

[OnePunch]

All I hear is a bunch of excuses. So its ok for ggg to call out guys that are smaller than him, even though ggg couldnt even get 9000 assses in seats? hahahahahahaha stop making excuses. If ggg wants to establish that hes one of the very best, go fight ward. "only a big draw in oakland, he fights twice a year." mayweather fights less than that at times you dont hear noone complaining.

GGG-Geale sold 8532 tickets at the Garden

Ward-Dawson sold 7611 tickets in Ward's backyard.

Not sure what exactly you think Ward brings to the table.......

FIGHT OR VACATE!!! fans will have more respect for fighting and getting his @$$ handed to him than if he duck GGG and cherry picks canelo/bradley/or even rubio for that fact! WBC enforce good ol boxing! fight or vacate! GGG the mercenary is coming for all ya'll 160 pounders! mexican style putos u heard the man!!!

[tito_bandito]

The same could have been said for Golovkin when he made 154 pounders fight for his tittle and Golovkin has been champ at 160 for a longer time than Cotto lol. Fight a 160 pounder or vacate lol. Golovkin knows Cotto is not a true middleweight and he wants that name on his résumé cuz it's a mismatch.

so its GGG's fault that Cotto is holding the lineal and WBC middleweight titles hostage even though you claim he's not a middleweight? Somehow that's on GGG?

smh.......

[White_Knight]

Just because Cotto is middleweight champ, doesn't mean he should have to fight healthy middleweights.

[GhostBlade]

Team Cotto need to tell Cotto just to drop back down to 154 and fight Canelo and stop wasting everyone's time with trying to convince Cotto is a legitimate middleweight champion.
