GGG vs Martin Murray = Battle for LEGITIMATE MIDDLEWEIGHT LINEAL CROWN

[DoktorSleepless]

Just speaking for myself, Martinez was already losing his credibility as the MW champ. You could check my posts if you really wanted. In the time after his win over Chavez in 2012, Golovkin has been been cleaning the division out while Martinez won a disputed decision over Murray and lost to Cotto. Cotto isn't looking to defend that title seriously. The only reason it isn't official is because Martinez wouldn't and Cotto won't fight Golovkin.

Sometimes the lineal champ isn't actually the champ, and this is one of those times. Quite frankly, once Golovkin beats Murray I don't see how anyone can deny him.

Beating Macklin = cleaning out the division?

Macklin, Geale, Rubio, scheduled for Murray.

Who else is there? Quillin ducked, Martinez ducked, Cotto will duck.

GGG is a good fighter but Martin Murray is a average fighter!!! GGG TKO 4

After Martinez beat Chavez and before Martinez lost to Cotto, Golovkin was busy beating fringe contenders/nobodies like Rosado, Ishida, Stevens, Adama. He did not clean the division at all while Martinez was champ. Rubio (if you even think that's still a worthwhile win) and Geale was after Martinez had already lost.

What's funny is that even Cotto fans know what will happen when/if he'll fight GGG.

Cotto is a Lineal MW Champion of the World, good for him (and possibly Floyd).

Gennady Golovkin will literally beat him up and they know it. They just can't accept it.

cottostan: 'cotto is the lineal middleweight champion of the world and thus the best middleweight on the planet'
normal fan: 'he should fight GGG and prove it'
cottostan: 'oh no he's too small for GGG'

So exactly WHO determines when a lineal champ is actually _THE_ champ?

YOU?

LOL...
