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

[PeterNeversoft]

Not in the majors yet??? BS!!!

[E. O. Wilson]

This is extremely manipulative and dishonest of you. Cotto fought all 3 of those fighters when he coming off a loss, and trying to get back confidence.

Maybe Cotto should stop losing so much.

Then he is worthy of fighting Golovkin.

With fighters of this magnitude, would it really make that big of a difference? Are casual fans more eager to buy a PPV on that date?

Casuals no..". Mexicans yes.

The only reason the fight doesn't make sense for Cotto and his team is because Golovkin would probably blast Cotto out of there in four rounds and there's no point of risking that for health and financial reasons. It's better to take a safer, bigger payday in Canelo than to fight Golovkin. The only part I agree is the financial business side where Golovkin is nowhere near Cotto in terms of profitability or popularity but as far as a boxer and fighter, Golovkin is above Cotto by a mile.

I agree and disagree with this. Ward would easily beat GGG. But is GGG a hype job? Not at all. GGG is the real deal. But why should GGG fight Ward, what does he gain? Likewise Cotto is an established name and fighter, for what reason would he fight GGG who'll likely beat him. When he can fight Canelo or Chavez. Therefore GGG is left in a precarious position and will likely continue beating up the Daniel Geales of the world until they pony up the money to make a great fighter get in there and have GGG knock him out too.

Def not a hype job.... But that's what makes him lack of a impressive resume a little more troubling... He's not a prospect or a kid right out of the Olympics.

Wait a minute was Austin Trout in the 'majors' when they chose to fight him? GGG is more popular now than Austin Trout was before he fought Cotto and GGG has a title. So this isn't like a random opponent here.

The ratings will tell them popular GGG really is. GGG's last fight on HBO, prior to the Geale, fight did excellent numbers. They should wait for the ratings for the Geale fight to come out before they make these statements.

****** post...cotto has fought the best and lost to 2 of the best..trout was a good fighter that frustrated cotto with his style, and cheato well he got his ass handed to him on an even playing field..who has ggg beat again to even suggest he would be the A side in a cotto fight.?

Except that ward isn't walking around with the 160lb straps and is going to go make fights at 155 or so next.....big difference. Either vacate or defend them to the guy in line to fight for them and arguably GGG was more in line to fight sergio than Cotto was. He's not a legit at that weight well then wtf is he doing there..he won them..vacate them and go fight canelo next.

In the words of Oscar De La Hoya...."GET IN LINE!"

Cotto don't have to do ****, he can do what he want, fight who he wants at the weight he wants because of years of hardwork in this sport and working his ass off to reach this level and to build his fanbase to the point in which he can sell out MSG ON HIS OWN. WBC will allow Cotto to do what he wants because he is Miguel Cotto one of the bigger draws in boxing today. GGG is still early in this sport AS A PRO, get in line be a "GOOD BOY" Pay your Dues and hope that one day you can be a Draw like Cotto then he too will be able to dictate things a bit more. Sorry but Knocking Out a few Decent fighter does entitle you to anything in this Sport, it took YEARS for guys like Cotto, Pacquiao, Mayweather, JMM and other to become a draw in this sport. GGG fans want shortcuts and want him to go right to the top and that will NEVER HAPPEN not even for someone as good as GGG. He has to pay his dues like EVERYBODY ELSE!

According to the ticket sAles.... He didn't do too well.. A little less than what Ward does in Oakland..
