Cotto-Geale News: Key Negotiation Point Is Cotto Wants A Catchweight

[RetroSpeed05]

To bad its not GGG who destroyed Gale in 3 getting a CW shot at the "Champ".

[bojangles1987]

I can only imagine the catchweight Cotto would want to step in the ring with Golovkin. Probably 154.0000000000001.

Bullsh^t if true don't support the catchweight, again if true. Hilarious seeing pacquiao fans in here complaining about catchweights.

Catch Weight Cotto!!

Watch how his stans defend it.

Nothing we can defend is as bad as you guys defending a guy fighting a JMW at MW for the 3rd time in a row. It's not even comparable. I mean, you can hate the CW if you want it's your business, but... you're a hypocrite considering Cotto is fighting at CW's but at least it's against MW's.

As for the CW itself he should fight at 160. If you know of a way I can make Cotto fight at 160 let me know. I'm not a fake fan like the Canelo fans and give him a pass for doing ****** ****. I'll admit taking a catchweight is diva **** but hey, he's not going to stop being my favorite fighter because of it.

Cotto is so annoying for someone that only fights once a year...just retire, please.

If Cotto is fighting middleweights, then he's a middleweight fighter, undersized or not. Evading Golovkin after beating Martinez by moving back down is fair enough to me. But becoming MW champion and then fighting other MW's is disgraceful if there's no plans to fight GGG. That's ducking

Cotto got granted an optional defense. He's taking it before fighting Canlo or GGG. nothing wrong with that.

i thought the rematch never happened because cotto his ass kicked so bad in the 1st.

cotto too small for 160.

too big for 147.

not good enough for 154.

poor cotto.

Pretty much this lmao.

Who cares? Cotto is a small 160 pounder it is smart to get them down in weight. Pacquiao, De La Hoya, Hopkins everyone does catchweight fights.

Exactly
Weights classes where almost randomly set to begin with because classes are needed for fighter protection. 154 is just a random number set for jmw. There is nothing sacred about 160. All fighters basically cheat weights anyway except maybe mayweather. Fighters go through extremes to get to their weight class. Starvation, dehydration and sometimes even stripping naked. A mw will come in 15 pounds above 160. So most mas aren't really even 160s. So people need to relax. Cotto woukd just want to minimize the rehydration when cotto will barely gain 5 pounds. Like the martinez weight of 159 everyone thought it was foot being a diva but in reality it was protection from rehydration.

Catch weightswere invented for us fans. We all want to see our favorite fights go up against another fav but happens to be in another weight class. So a catch weight is a compromise to give us fans fights we want to see while not killing off fighters.

He's taking an optional defense a whole year after his last fight...when he did not suffer any injuries. There is a lot wrong with that.
