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

[Chaos]

I mean, you're not suggesting that he's in the majors, knowing that he hasnt been on one PPV yet? Do you know how many PPV's Chavez Jnr and Canelo have been on?

GGG and his team need to manoeuvre him in the PPV circuit, but for now, its a small reward that he brings. Cotto is 33 and moving on soon, he's after the big PPV events.

Are you suggesting that a title unification fight against a wrecking ball won't be a big ppv event for Cotto?

it would sell at the gate MAYBE but PPV would tank.

They dont want it. Canelo batters him too.

i dont blame him, if he is going to get battered at least get the most money out of it...

It's a duck... Point blank.., but the same Canberra said for GGG vs Ward.... Why the double standard... I love cotto... Have no desire to see a GGG fight

[Dr Rumack]

When GGG proves he can draw like Austin Trout he gets the fight.

Not a minute sooner.

At this stage Cotto wants money fights, he got Martinez at a decline...I see GGG and Canelo stopping him " a la Margarito" ...they will stay from GGG that's for sure. I think a well trained Chavez Jr. gives GGG a better fight.

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

Cotto/Trout wasn't on PPV, while Cotto's next fight will be. If your going to fight on PPV you need that money draw name.

Personally I wouldn't want to see that massacre.

U know he fought trout coming off a loss right?

Cotto isn't a MW but he holds a MW belt



Let's blame everyone else

Okay let's put it like this for you.

Imagine Golovkin fights for a SMW title against a SMW in a catchweight fight of 167lbs, Golovkin comes in at 161-162lbs on the scale, and wins. Let's say he beat Arthur Abraham for his WBO SMW title(Even though an exact example would be beating The Ring champ Andre Ward, we can't do that because Martinez actually lost to Murray in many fans eyes, he was also coming off surgery and was old. So let's pick a more vulnerable titlist, Arthur Abraham).

Andre Ward says "Hey, you have a SMW title, you are a SMW now, fight me". Is Golovkin really a SMW, despite weighing just 1lb above 160 and beating a vulnerable SMW(Like Martinez was)?

Would you see Golovkin, weighing in at 161lbs for a SMW fight, as a an SMW? I know you want to save face and say yes, to not look like a hypocrite. But you can be honest. Would Golovkin be a 168lber if he beats another 168lber while coming in at the scales at 161lbs?
