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

[bigjavi973]

Him losing his straps at a catchweight to someone who has never fought at 160 is a slap in the face to the top ten fighters in the division that had been putting in work long before Martinez and Dibella were dumb enough to fight Cotto. This is the shhh that pisses me off about boxing. There is a top ten in a division for a reason, either fight a top ten guy in the division or fk off and vacate. What's the point of putting in work in any division these days? Name and buys can't mean everything especially when it comes to belts.

Such hypocrisy. Mayweather does it, his fans say "TBE". someone else does it, its a problem.

Why????????????????

Cause apparently all the ducks are hurting GGGs legacy..... He's been pro for a while now..... U telling me people be ducking him for 10 years?

[hitking]

Have no clue what that has to do with anything.


Just because I'm a fan of GGG does not mean I represent what any other fan of him or anybody else says

You know what I'm talking about. Don't play dumb. Cotto is no more a middleweight than Floyd is a jr middleweight or GGG is a super middleweight. But they will moonlight in those divisions for the right price/fight/opportunity. The same way Ward is too big a risk for the financial reward GGG would gain.GGG is too big a risk for the financial reward Cotto would get fighting him at 60 or Floyd would get fighting him at 54. Its that plain. Its that simple. Deal with it.

Someone explain to me how Trout was in the majors and GGG isn't!!

[Dinamita 03]

Golovkin is like a recent college grad who can't find a job because he has no experience. Yet the only way he can gain experience is getting a job

[MrRolltide91]

doesn't make financial sense

Sergio Martinez got his shot at a big money fight against Cotto by beating a quality opponent in Chavez Jr. on PPV and then fighting in front of a huge crowd in his home country to prove that he had drawing power.

It doesn't make a damn bit of difference how many people GGG beats up. If GGG wants his shot at the big money fights against Cotto and Froch, he has to do the same thing Martinez did and the only person he can do that against is Andre Ward, not Sam Soliman and Curtis Stevens.

I agree 100% but sadly the politics of Boxing are whats preventing this fight from happening. Both Ward and GGG are brilliant fighters and to think that they personally are ducking each other is just not true. GGG will get his shot in due time but the fans will have to be patient and the promoters, networks etc will have to wake the F up! Last - I am an Andre Ward fanatic and in my heart i believe that he will not be able to survive the wrath of GGG's power.

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

Oh wow. Your mommy must have given you your sarcasm juice this morning. Manny Pacquaio, Antonio Margarito, Floyd Mayweather were all household names in boxing and Cotto earned his right to pick and choose who he fights by taking on these guys on PPV and developing a following. Golovkin doesn't have large fan base and hasn't fought on PPV at all. Therefore, he still in the minor leagues, no matter how many second tier fighters he KOs.

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

Cotto is established already while GGG isn't.

So Trout whose biggest win was Delvin was this monster money-maker for Cotto???
