Is Cotto too small for 160 or not?

[nacho daddy]

He is, it's just a WW beat the MW champ and people are still ruined emotionally and mentally. Even you are in denial about it with a post like this. Cotto did beat Sergio no matter how old and broken, he did it as an underdog too. And he did it at a catchweight, at catchweight HIGHER than the one Sergio won the same title at. Any other haterade flavors or is the only one still salt?

yea and cotto was bludgeoned into a gargoyle by a blown up bantamweight Manny

Yeah I know. I'm not going into every thread, or any thread for that matter making excuses for the L. If you bring up Cotto/Sergio it's like "Did you know Sergio died the night before?" Even if it's just talking about who had the better entrance... We need a reminder of how ****ed up Sergio was. I'll return the favor and show you how dumb you sound.

You know in that Manny fight Cotto was drained, had not trainer and Manny was on steroids. See it sounds dumb as **** because it is. You don't need to tell everyone how a cripple got beat to make you feel better about the outcome.

pretty sensible post but you have to know that cottos team knew about the condition of Sergio got real lucky winning the title and really do not want to defend it against a middleweight. even you can see that

Cotto has said on camera a fight with GGG is possible in the future, what's the problem? The WBC gave him a voluntary and he's using it to face a MW, what's the problem?

So you're saying he's not a legit mw champ. Gotcha.

No, I think I need to simplify it for you.



Geale=Legit test for voluntary defense.




The end.

Cotto is not the problem. It's miserable peasants with a need for something to hate and express their inner turmoil.


Cotto is chillen while the haters are making doctor's appointments for this dull pain they feel in their stomachs.

You fanboys have me confused. When it comes to a fight with GGG, all I hear is, "well Cotto is just using the MW title as leverage and plans to dump it before being forced into a fight with GGG because in reality he's not a true MW".

Now that there's rumor circulating about Cotto vs Geale, the fanboys are now talking about how this is a good fight.

So which is it? Is Cotto a MW only when it comes to facing certain MW fighters not named GGG, or is he too small for the division?

Miguel Cotto likely walks into the ring 155-160; Golovkin walks into the ring 175+, Quillin walks into the ring 175+, etc. The notion that Cotto should happily give away 15-20 pounds for every middleweight fight is ******ed.

Cotto needs an opponent for the MSG date in June, and Geale isn't really a giant middleweight, therefore he's an option for Cotto; how good the actual fight is is another conversation.

With 30 days to the fight, Cotto was already @160; Cotto's not going to walk into a ring on fight night, giving up at least two weight classes (15 pounds) to his opponent, regardless of whomever it is.

[Scipio2009]

So what you're saying is, a fight with Geale at 160 is good but a fight with GGG is not? I ask because that's what I've been reading lately from the Cotto diehards when it comes to a fight with GGG. "Oh I don't blame Cotto for not fighting GGG. He's too small anyway. He'll fight Canelo after his next fight and give up the belt".

I'm just looking for some consistency here. Either he's a MW or not. Not that he's a MW for certain challenges but not a MW for others.

Its not that complicated.

Geale, while not being all that much of a puncher, walks into a fight with Cotto around 165 pounds, give or take a pound; Golovkin walks into a fight with Cotto at 175 pounds, give or take a couple pounds.

Just look at the opponents who have been rumored for Cotto; near all the names involve fighters who will likely walk into the ring around 165. If Geale was a giant middleweight, you'd have an argument; he's not.

I think he's to small for that division to be honest, I think he belongs at 154.
