Fixed it for you

GGG should fight men his own size. Canelo and Cotto are JMWs. Cotto came in at 155 lbs. vs. Martinez and Canelo's last 2 fights have been at 155 lbs. Both fighters can easily make 154 lbs. They would be idiotic to fight a puncher of GGG's caliber at 160 lbs.

They are smaller BUT cottos does hold the 160 lbs belt so being a huge cotto fan, he HAS to defend that title against GGG after the canelo fight, or simply vacate and go back down to 154

The only reason you want to see GGG fight Canelo-Cotto is because you realize his popularity will rise being matched with two of the more popular boxers of this generation and he would have an easy time walking through either of them with style.

Personally, I am able to assess GGG objectively, and I can tell you that Cotto has been hurt and dropped at weights as low as 140 in his career. I can only imagine what GGG would do to an older, war torn Cotto fighting two weight classes above his prime.

I personally would like to see GGG build his legacy fighting evenly matched, competitive fights vs. fighters like Andre Ward, Carl Froch, and Mikkel Kessler. But once again, I am able to look at GGG objectively, you seem to be unable (or unwilling) to remove your fan hat.

dont bother that onepunch dude is an idiot. You should see the crap he writes. No wonder his "promotion" is ass and no one outside of his imidiate area has ever heard of them.

Trout got Robbed.

I wouldn't say robbed since he did get knocked down. That was the difference maker for me on points in that fight.

how are you objective ? you send GGG to fight SMW , while letting Cotto stay the lineal champion at MW ? that sounds objective to you?
as the other guy said you either fight as a champ of your division or you vacate , what bothers you that its GGG who`s going to fight cotto , you wouldnt mind cotto defending against Geale at MW wouldnt you ?
your post is so not objective and not on point its mind blowing.

Cotto loses voluntary defense.

Golovkin fans claim he did so on purpose, to duck GGG.

I think Cotto beats Canelo but will give his 160 belts away to avoid GGG. And i dont blame him. Cotto better move back down to 154 after Canelo.

155 lbs is middleweight, and canelo has fought at 55 for his last two fights for a reason. making 154 is very hard for him. he needed a freaking chair at the mayweather weight in when he was 152.


golovkin has fought all true middleweight thus far since the ouma fight.


if cotto doens't want to fight the best MW on the planet, he should not hold the lineal middleweight title.

Cotto beats Canelo on May then Fights GGG wins in a tough fight and get FOTY 2015 that's a pretty good year IMO
