[OnePunch]

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

wasnt the Martinez fight supposed to answer that question?

[OnePunch]

Good choice for Cotto, hopefully it leads to a bigger fight this year against Canelo/GGG though. I'm don't get all the hate against Geale, he's ranked top10 in every sanctioning body, #4 ring, #5 espn, #7 boxrec, but to NSB posters he's **** I guess. I think this is a closer fight than people give credit.

the "hate" is because Cottos mando, who Cotto SHOULD be fighting, ghouled this guy in 3 rounds.......


No different than if Stevenson decides to pass on Kovalev and fights Blake Caparello instead (who Kovalev iced in 2)............

Oh yes! My Aussie homie Daniel 'The Real' Geale is going to give Cotto a boxing lesson all night long! Daniel is a strong LEGIT middleweight and a former IBF/WBA champion, let the haters cry as the Aussies fly!

Blake car****lo isn't a former champion nor a top 10 rank

Doesn't GGG have a fight lined up against a slick Cuban style fighter Lee than a month before Cottos fight? I'm sure ggg would like a nice camp for that fight when it gets made.

point is, stop acting like ggg is free because he isn't. He's got a fight lined up as, well and everyone on here knew this was gonna be Miguel's date fight on

I hope it's not at a catch weight.

Geale has been fighting at 160 for a long time, he'd be weakened by going to a lower weight.

Geale wins this for me if he isn't drained. Hoping their is no stipulations or bs from Cotto, he has the skills to outwork the busy Geale without any draining.

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.

Geale could vacate if GGG try's to low ball him like all his other opponents. If GGG wants the green belt he may have to contest it as a vacant belt, Geale can take his lineage and fight anyone he chooses.

I'm rooting for Geale anyway, I've always been a fan. He never has had his dues, not least when he quit against GGG. I expect he has a lot left in the tank and knows Cotto could be his last pay day if he loses, hopefully it motivates him as he could line up a list of potential fights like a unification vs Lee or vacate and fight for loneage. against Haymon's Jacobs or Quillin, all fights I believe he would or could win, with maybe the exception of Jacobs which would no doubt be an extremely close fight. I simply have no desire to see the Golovkin fight. K2 don't pay adequately for the risk of facing a guy coming in the weight he does come fight night. Besides I want to see him in competitive fights not handed middle weight after middle weight fighter, when he is clearly too good for the division. The sooner he moves up the better, I'm tiring of his one sided fights, waiting for him to cash out of the divison.

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

Stfu. Have you ever actaully seen Geale fight apart from against GGG ?

The comparison was as ridiculous as it was pathetic. Some boxing fans make me laugh.

Im tagging him for the win. He's being thoroughly underestimated.

Cotto versus Canelo could still happen even if Cotto lost to Geale, just at 154 like Cotto should be fighting at. Geale could go on and unify against Lee or vacate for a bigger offer from Haymon

Geale won't get his dues or respect even though this is an awesome fight.

Geale probably outweighs GGG on fight night. If Geale wins, he would not vacate and I believe he would accept the mandatory and fight GGG again. I think he has something to prove to himself. It would be another short fight, though, with Geale on the losing end again.

As for the lineage, it is worth absolutely nothing without a belt to go with it.

By the way... GGG doesn't 'low ball' anyone. He has nothing to say about the amount of the purse in his fights. That is negotiated by his promoter and the network.
