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

[carloscruz10009]

******ed post as usual. If you're going to call yourself the damn MW champ of the world, then you are a ****ing MW! If that's not the case, then go back down to 154lb. I won't blame Cotto for going back to JMW because he will surely take a horrible beating at the hands of GGG, but don't disrespect the title by avoiding legitimate and worthy competition. Moreover, don't insult the fans by suggesting that a guy like Golovkin is some sort of fringe contender.

You gotta admit its funny calling him not in the majors but knowing he can kick his a$$.... Cotto a funny dude... Similar to what some one doing to Ward.

It's crazy how Cotto has to take on the whole world of boxers...below his weight, above his weight, cash cows, threats with no reward. But for others who shall remake nameless, " he's too big"," he's too small", " GTFOOH! ...
Even the hardcore fans know that Cotto has earned his position the hard way..FIGHT who ever the hell you want Cotto....preferably Canelo or Floyd 2,,,,,make your money at the end of your career.

Okay, fine, fight Canelo or Mayweather, but go ahead and vacate the MW title so the real middleweights can unify.

so you dont consider cotto the lineal MW champion?
to be honest i dont, i think he should keep fighting at 154 for the rest of his career... hes already a HOF and doesnt need all this...

I don't have to "consider" him the lineal champion, he is. But that doesn't mean I have to sit here and act like a totally brain dead asswipe and pretend that he's a legitimate 160lb'r just because I want him to fight my man crush.

BTW, when did the lineal title become so important? Floyd was, and is still criticized for fighting Baldomir, who was the reigning lineal champion. During Roy Jones's run at light heavyweight, Darius Mickelschski was the lineal champion. And I believe he was beaten by Gonzolaz (a RJ victim), who was beaten Zsolt Eredi, who to my knowledge never officially lost the title. Tarver, Hopkins, or Calzage (the lineage of the title Tarver took from RJ) fighting Eredi was never a must fight. The lineal title is cool. But, it doesn't always represent the class of the division.

Majors as in ppv superstar?? Well then yes. But GGG is a pro fighter who'll beat the career out of Cotto.

golovkin says ward doesnt make sense and his nuthuggers hug him tight

Cotto says golovkin doesnt make sense, golovkins nuthuggers unleash the fury

It's absolutely hilarious to watch.

Been wondering the same thing.

Cotto has absolutely no chance at beating Golovkin and his people clearly understand this, so get ready to hear every lame excuse not to fight him.

According to the "Cotto's a middleweight" logic. Roy Jones is a fraud, coward, and disrespected the fans by not calling himself the "heavyweight champion" after he beat Ruiz by refusing to fight Lennox Lewis.

GGG has absolutely no chance of beating Ward. Which is why we've already heard plenty lame excuses, and will continue doing so.
