Comments Thread For: Roach: Cotto-Golovkin Would Have Be Closer To 154

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (30-0, 27KOs) is not an option for Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32KOs) on December 13th, but the fight might be a possibility for the future. Cotto's trainer, Freddie Roach, will not allow his fighter to face Golovkin at the full middleweight limit of 160-pounds.

Although Cotto holds the WBC's title at 160, Roach is more comfortable with Golovkin come down in weight as close as possible to t he junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds. In several past interviews, Golovkin and his trainer Abel Sanchez have mentioned the idea of coming down to 154 for a fight with Cotto or Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Nothing less than 158. Anything else is ****! And I'm a Cotto fan.

Who didn't see that coming? Vacate the title Cotto... cherry weight central.

Now it gets interesting
GGG at 154 against Cotto.
I mean Dirrell just said on Espn that anyone champs from 160 to 175 can get it.

Does GGG think anyone from 154 to 168 can get it.

Cotto took at the middleweight king and dominated him the way no kne thought he would or could. Now give up the belt and go back down. You have plenty o fish t fry at 154 or 147. Awesome win champ

Roach has spoken !!! He didn't lie, he knows Cotto has no chance at Middle Weight the glamour division !!!!

So if they come to 154 does that mean for the lineal MW Title ?

All BS from my favorite Coach !!!!! hahahahahahahah

I think that if Cotto is going to be fighting at 154 or asking for catchweights then he should just vacate the middleweight title. They should just make the Golovkin fight already and get it over with.

158 for the MW title, sounds just fine

IF a fighter has a lineal title then there should be NO CATCHWEIGHT
