Comments Thread For: Team Cotto: Golovkin Not Yet in Majors, Fight Premature

[LoadedWraps]

Gaby Peñagarícano, the legal adviser to WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KO's), plans to sit down with his client in the month of August to discuss his next opponent for a planned return in December.

Peñagarícano also responded to some recent comments from Abel Sanchez, trainer of IBO/WBA champion Gennady Golovkin (30-0, 27 KO's).

In a recent interview on BoxingScene.com, Sanchez called for a fight between Golovkin and Cotto. He says Cotto should fight a real middleweight opponent or vacant his title and return to 154-pounds.

Before fighting Geale it would be absolutely true, but after this weekend that's a card Cotto can't pull any longer.

You IDIOT!!!! How is Rodriguez and DePorto "almost all the 154 pounders that mattered"?!!!!! You cannot be that ******!!

Deporto??? Humm not sure who that is.... He fought Trout after the Floyd fight and loss.... So it wasn't him cherry picking someone.

According to the rankings at the time for canelos belt. Cotto and trout were in the same area of rankings. Please, think before you speak.

Yes, it makes him a fraud MW champion if he's going to duck legitimate MW competition to fight Welterweights and Junior Middleweights for the Middleweight title. Cotto's a great fighter. He's earned the right to hand-pick his opponent, just as he'll definitely earn the criticism he'll get for posing as the real MW champ of the world by not fighting MWs.

Nacho... I don't disagree with that statement.... I donut he is staying at 60, I'm a big. It cotto fan.. He got no business fighting this animal GGG

Oh OK. So now you have to beat a 160lb'r. I get confused. Y'alls double standards are hard to keep up with.

You are the one with double standards and holes in all of your arguments.

I called you out on your bs and you have no answer.

Good comparison. RJJr and his people knew he couldn't compete against the best HW's, SO THAT'S WHY HE WENT RIGHT BACK DOWN TO LHW. Cotto's people know he can't hang with the top MW's so why not do the right thing and head back to JMW (whichs what I've said)?

But he didn't go right back to light heavy. He had failed negotiations with Holyfield, the late Corrie Saunders, and Chris Byrd. Saunders and Byrd would have been fakeass unification fights. Tarver was like his 4th-5th option. And if my memory serves me correctly, that went to a purse bid that DK won and was made official about 7-8wks before they fought the damn thing. Which forced Roy to shed 15-20lbs of muscle in that short span because he had maintained his heavyweight frame because the original plan was to stay in the division.

You PINHEAD, you just called Rodriguez and LoPorto "ALMOST ALL THE 154 POUNDERS THAT MATTERED AT THE TIME". Man, you are not going to convince ONE person on here of that!

Deporto??? Humm not sure who that is.... He fought Trout after the Floyd fight and loss.... So it wasn't him cherry picking someone.

BigJavi thinks that Loporto was among all the fighters that mattered at the time!!!!!!!! Loporto was a 15-5 unknown fighter who was laughed at for even being allowed to fight Trout.
