Comments Thread For: WBC: Cotto Must Face Golovkin After His Voluntary

[kiaba360]

The funny thing is, if Cotto defended his MW title against Bradley and lost, Bradley would just be honest and say "GGG is way too big for me" and vacate his title.

Cotto won't say that because then he's revealing his hand, so to speak. By staying quiet about GGG, it allows us to believe that he's still a possibility. WBC better stay on Cotto's neck until he defends the belt against GGG or drops it.

reincarnate Lucas Matthysse. As with lucas reserving judgment until Triple GGG gets that chin checked...
been clamoring for months now that Cotto take that first honor of legit comp...

Why do you think that Cotto would be the one to check his chin? One fight at MW and now he's the MW chin-checker?

[MDPopescu]

Cotto has to "sell" his belt in this very next fight, otherwise he has to vacate it...
Because nobody may think he would ever fight Golovkin.

No. Not my point. Lucas had mofo's shook even before they stepped into the ring. I sense the same type mentality from fighters facing GGG. Granted not to the same extent as with Lucas I admit but it certainly exists.
Cotto has both the skill and the power to check it though... that being said, aint no mystery that Cotto is my dude but I won't argue that he has the MW power to check it and knockout is sure to follow...shiet Cotto may be laid out a la Pac style but *** it at least he took the challenge and legit defended to legitimize the fourth belt...

He has Canelo after that. Canelo will move up to 160 eventually. After GGG takes care of Canelo, He will go up to 168.

the same island that was cheering on herrera and booed that fights decision. i dont think he is the face of pr. garcia doesn't even speak a lick. my opinion though. after cotto theres who? no one comes to mind

Cotto does possess power, and it's not like GGG should underestimate it if they ever fight, but Stevens has at least similar power to Cotto and it never really seemed to bother 3G.

Come on, Cotto's punches would be like getting bit by a mosquito to Golovkin. I know people don't want to underestimate him just in case, but he's not that hard a puncher at middleweight. He might hit as hard as Murray.

The WBC is blowing smoke up everyone's asses. They will *never* strip Cotto as long as the possibility of a Mayweather fight exists...

Yep agreed seemed liked GGG didn't flinch..,I would argue that Curtis has more power but doesn't possess the same ring IQ or experience and I see that as crucial against a talent like GGG. great technique plus power may be the blueprint...
