Golovkin vs Cotto is a HUGE mismatch

[Scipio2009]

Golovkin is a more natural 160. He's on the short side -- and I believe he walks around fairly close to 160. Maybe 165 or so. I don't think he gains much weight between fights. He fights more often than most guys.

These days most super middleweights walk around at much higher weights.

low 170s with basically four weeks to go in camp; at that pace, he probably walked into camp near 180. try again

Cotto is one of my all time favourite fighters dead or alive, but Golovkin murders him within 4-5 rounds! I'd like to see him drop that belt and move back down a weight and see GGG vs Lee/Quillin winner fight for the Ring title

I think your reaching here a bit, you can tell by Golovkins weigh ins that even hitting the scales at 160 the guy clearly has a lot of fat/water weight that he could still lose.

He's not a big middleweight by any stretch, he has a frame that could easily compete at junior middle weight.

You says that walking into camp at 180 is a big middleweight but Cotto, who would walk into camp at near 175+ when fighting at Junior Welter weight so you'd assume he's close to that at middleweight, but nobody would ever confuse Cotto as a big middleweight.

Reality is GGG is a normal sized middleweight that could realistically fight at 154

Cotto doesn't belong at 160. He should vacate the title or be stripped.

I think it's a competitive fight.

That is why I have not too much interest in this fight. I feel like triple G is just going to run Cotto over.

Too big, hits too hard and has skills.

Cotto fighting Canelo was the best hope of the division getting back on track. As things stand Mikey Garcia could be the lineal middleweight champ by christmas.

This is kinda where I'm at with this subject cause I think that had Alvarez won, he would have faced GGG and if Cotto had won he may have as well. But now, as a Cotto fan, I wish he'd defend against a legit mw or vacate back to 154.

Very true about a mismatch! I was never intrigue by the idea of golovkin vs cotto. I'm a huge fan of both and doesn't want to c cotto hurt towards the end of his career. Just think of cotto vs margorito I double the damage for cotto and shorten the length of the fight. Cotto just vacate the belt and go back to 154, we all give him a pass on this one.

Cotto at his best is a pressure fighter. Anytime he tries to play boxer-puncher, he gets his ass kicked. It doesnt take a genius to figure out if he tries to be a pressure fighter against Golovkin, he gets his head knocked off.
