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

[bigjavi973]

Not yet in the majors but he would've been wearing all of them 160lb straps right now if Sergio and Dibella would've not sold the belts to you for a price of ppv admission.....Cotto is about to sell them belts to the next highest bidder..it's all good Gennady can take them from Canelo if that's who ends up with them.

First you said martinez would beat cotto. Now you are saying that martinez sold him the belt? Hahahahaha you still mad bro? Lol

Casual fans don't even know who the f.uck GGG is.

Oh well. At least he's fighting.




Meanwhile at Wards camp......

Cotto's manager is basically saying that Golovkin is still a minor leaguer in terms of his drawing power and hasn't earned his shot at Cotto. This is the same thing that Froch's promoter said about Golovkin. So, the only people who think GGG is a big dog who deserves a shot at the financial big shots in boxing are Golovkin, his team and his fans on this site. I guess this means we will continue to see GGG fighting the Sam Solimans and the Curtis Stevens of the boxing world unless and until Golovkin develops enough guts to fight Andre Ward and prove that he can draw on PPV and beat a top quality opponent.

So now Cotto, who's about 5'6, and weighed in a career high of 155 in his last fight is a full fledged middleweight. Man shut yo dumbass up

Cotto is in the 160lb division. You can say whatever you want, I know how butthurt you are.... But this is fact

When is a fighter actually going to give GGG a shot at the lineal title?

It was martinez with excuses and now it is cotto's turn, smh.

All gravy baby. I'd rather see Ward fight on Froch or one Dawson a year than the four muf.uckaz I had to look up on boxrec that GGG fought last year.

I don't get it, when will GGG be in the "majors" when Cotto retires? lol

GGG has to do the same thing Cotto did -- move up a weight class (168) and beat the best opponent in that weight class (Ward) in front of 19,000 fans on PPV. If he does that, he will make it to the majors and earn a shot at Cotto or Froch at Wembley stadium. Beating a second tier fighter in front of 8,000 fans does not earn you a shot at the major leagues.

Cotto might have made it in the majors, but he has failed miserably beating the top guys in the league. I assume GGG needs to beat a shot champion like Martinez to make it to the majors and be in the drivers seat.

In the pacquiao fight cotto was weight drained with pacs no rehydration clause. Styles makes fights right? The cotto that fought mayweather and trout was not the same cotto that made him a beast at 140-147 lbs. He stopped using that left hook to the body and stopped being aggressive in fights.

Cause he's the lineal champion right. All of a sudden the lineal title means something. I remember back in 2006 a certain somebody got ****'d on for fighting a reigning lineal champion. My how times have changed

Yeah because Yuri Foreman, Austin Trout, etc,etc were all household names.
