Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Talks Possible Cotto Unification

[mick1303]

It's not like GGG is a big MW who starves himself to make a weight limit - a-la Hopkins. There was a talk recently, that he can even make 154 for a certain fight...

If he's so small why not fight at the more competitive 154 division as opposed to the MW wasteland.

Hopkins was not starving himself..he walked around closer to 160 than anybody else around.

Making 154 once for the money fight and campaigning at 154 are two different things. Besides MW is one of the historically significant original divisions, unlike superwelter and SMW. Undisputed MW champion is a distinction worth fighting for.

Cotto fought once at 160 but ya'll want him to campaign there.

MW is dead.
It's historic significance doesn't magically make it a division stacked with talent.
Unifying it against shi.t fighters doesn't mean anything at all.

I don't think that Cotto will fight GGG. I don't think that Cotto is a coward or anything like that but I think he will choose a more comfortable way and vacate the belt. He earns big money anyway with his name onyl he doesn't need Golovkin and I think he knows that he isn't a real 160 lb-er so I don't think that he will take this fight. It's a pity cause I would like that fight. It would be exctinig as long as it goes. I think Golovkin would win but he wouldn't have an easy night with Cotto that's for sure.

This is a pretty reasonable post for a noob (alt?). I kind of think this way myself.

On the other hand, MC could wheelbarrow up, trot out his jumbo man-nuts and say "**** all you feggity-ass feggits, I'm Miguel Cotto and I'll fight him just cause nobody else wants to!".

Neither scenario would surprise me.

Either way, WAR Cotto!

Cotto is sitting on the lineal MW belt, sorrya$$ alt. If he's too small for it, drop it, don't make a mockery of it like that SWW lineal paper champ

Go get laid

Typical response from a little boy.

[StopCrying...]

Cotto losing to GGG is not the end of the world. The dude began his career at 140. No shame and I am sure Cotto knows this too. So I don't think Cotto is worried about getting beat down, but rather...Paychecks.

And for the record, I will always give Cotto a shot at beating GGG based on the fact that, GGG has not exactly faced the greatest of all time.

Is Cotto a coward for ducking GGG? IMO no. Is he smart for avoiding GGG? IMO yea. Cotto knows that his chances of even making it to the 3rd round is slim & none and slim already left the building. If Cotto didn't want to fight any of the big dogs at MW he should of said that after beating Sergio instead of holding belt hostage. Cotto knows he can fight lesser opponents and even if he gets beat he could make money fighting other fighters afterwards.If he fights GGG he knows that he would take to much punishment and his career would be finished.

How can some people on here call themselves boxing fans when they are only fans of certain boxers.You cant call yourself a boxing fan and in the same breath make excuses for a MW champ NOT to fight who everybody in the world says is the top guy at MW.How can somebody say GGG should move up and fight Ward because other fighters have moved up but completely ignore that Ward already fought at LH and moved down the SMW and now refuses to move back to LH when he has no opponents at SMW to fight.He has cleaned out SMW and talked about moving up, but since Stevenson and Kov are in LH, him and his fans make a million excuses why he shouldn't move up.Pathetic!!!

Cotto has been moving up since 140 and has more balls than GGG's entire shi.t box country.

How many times has Cotto moved up?

now ask yourself

How many times has GGG moved up.


You are calling the wrong guy a coward.
