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

[Reloaded]

Anyone can really expose Cotto/Mayweather fans with it comes to catch weights. All it takes is a couple of minutes of searching. Look at how they're defending this.

I find it hilarious that its the Pac fans beating the loudest drum , oh the irony !

Cotto wouldn't even fight Martinez at 160, what did you guys expect?

**** off Freddie, always pulling this same ****.

If you are fighting for Middleweight supremecy, fight at Middleweight or just give up the belt.

Freddie does this all the time, never wants an even fight, he always wants to make it a fight where the opponent is at a disadvantage. He done it for Pac against Cotto and Miguel now regrets doing it, now here they are trying to do it to someone else.

Miguel is the man, but Freddie needs to gtfo with this garbage.

Cotto's one of my favourite fighters but this is bull*****. If they wanna make the fight below 160, then Cotto should have to vacate the belt.

Its not cotto people. Its Freddie. Hes the one initiating these catch weight. Roach is more than a trainner hes a match maker too. GGG still knocks cotto out. He punches hard than anyone cotto has fought and hes been stunted by the less punchers like zab and floyd.

Freddie does my head in with this type of talk. He is a trainer, not a promoter. He seems to always meddle with where the weight is set.

Might as well make it at 147 Freddie.

Give up the belt or fight!

There's no supposed weight a title should be defended. Technically, 155-160 is MW.

155-160 is MW but it's a catchweight if you aren't allowed to weigh-in where you please in-between those weights.

GGG has said that he would go down to 154 for a marquee name but the catchweight should be at least 155 so that they can fight for the title.

The stage is set!
Unless Cotto fights Canelo in December, he has no excuses! Give up the belt or fight!


I'm starting to think that the unnecessary catchweight of 159 for Sergio Martinez was a strategic move by Team Cotto to set precedents for the possible future deals at Middleweight.

The boxers are equally to blame.

When was the last time somebody that was drained right down actually won?

[Beercules]

158 would be OK but this is a bad look.


What is Cotto planning to do with the 160 title then? Just vacate
