Comments Thread For: Cotto-Geale Clash Will Head To Barclays on June 6th

[Barcham]

its not a terrible fight. ppl claiming is are being biased. its not a great fight either, but if it means canleo at the end of the year, then i dont understand why anyone is complaining.

Not criticizing the fight, I would just prefer another opponent because if Geale beats Cotto, and he has a good chance to do so, it means a replay of a fight GGG has already fought and won convincingly. It will be an interesting fight to see what Cotto can do against someone GGG utterly destroyed in the ring in three rounds. I might actually find myself pulling for Cotto because I have absolutely no wish to see GGG hammer Geale again. It would almost qualify as cruel and unusual punishment to put Geale through that for a second time.

I confused as to how I should feel for this fight.

Meh hopefully Cotto wins so we can go back to the Canelo fight everyone wanted to see.

Carefully chose a fighter who just has no speed and movement and no power

Well, just ask yourself, out of all those 3 opponents who would you have prefered Cotto to face? Nobody knows Heiland, he has a win over Macklin, but was given a ridiculous ranking by the Wbc in my opinion. Bundrage has a belt, but is at 154. I think Geale is the best choice out of those 3, he's been a 160 pounder his whole career and has beaten some decent opposition and is a former champion. That doesn't say much though, as i would have prefered someone like Tureano Johnson for Cotto's choice of opponent.

It's a middleweight so that's good.
If it was a decent opponent for GGG I guess it's fine for Cotto.
If he doesn't fight GGG then what's the point of even having this fight? Unless Canelo comes up to 160 but he'll get stripped anyway won't he?

Good fight for Cotto and the fans !!!!!!!!!!!!we going to find out if Cotto really is ready for 160

I'm truly surprised Cotto took this fight. I've made fun of the past several years of his career a LOT but I have nothing negative to say about this (except of course that he ducked GGG/Canelo to get here).

It's a decent fight, his toughest opponent in a while.
