Comments Thread For: Golovkin’s Promoter: Cotto Seeking Step-Aside Deal

[PivotandRoll]

You're an idiot who should be drug tested. Nobody will fight Gennady at 160 clown. He fights 4x a year anyone who has the balls to climb in. Chavez avoided him by going to 175, then quitting against Fonfara. Chavez is not valid. Cotto has had every chance to fight GGG, then uses that ****** weak phukkin excuse "oh GGG doesn't draw PPV"... Same phukkin excuse Floyd used to not fight Pacquiao for the last 6 years. Hell Cotto wouldn't even fight Canelo at 154. He wouldn't even fight Andy Lee when he had the chance. You need to shut the phukk up clown.

Why is GGG ignoring Lara?

[PivotandRoll]

Cotto holds the belt and GGG is his mandatory. They are IN THE SAME DIVISION. The situation is nothing at all like GGG-Ward.

GGG said he'd fight anyone at any time from 154-168....Ward and Lara called him out and GGG has nothing to say bar the usual "don't bring enough money"

But don't worry keep spouting nonsense about how 154 fighters are ducking GGG

What has Lara done at middleweight? H**l, What has Lara done period?

Once Cotto grabbed that MW belt, he can no longer claim that he is "154 fighter". Vacate and GGG will immediately forgets about you.

Tricky situation here. Take step aside money and at least you get something out of it, try to force it and Cotto will just drop the belt. He'll get to fight for the vacant title again whoever, but Cotto would still be the true lineal champ regardless. Tough call.

The problem is GGG and his team are businessmen too. If they force Cotto to vacate then Cotto goes on to fight Canelo in a non title fight it does GGG no good. He loses out on a million dollar payday.

He will fight a lesser name for the vacant title for a fraction of the purse.

I think he needs to take the step aside money, clean up the rest of the belts and just stay waiting.

why box when you can get paid a hundred grand in cash in a paper bag?

When in my honest opinion he's undefeated with only a draw against Molina.

So I'd say he's one of the better fighters in the sport. 100% top 10 p4p

Cotto hasn't fought since he got the title you do realise that?

Canelo walked away from negotiations while cotto was waiting to sort out the Rocnation deal , do you realise that?

And what about Cotto's past would suggest he's ducking GGG?

If Canelo had waited I bet it would be Cotto/Canelo instead of Canelo/Kirkland and the winner would fight GGG in the fall, now Cotto/Canelo is pushed back and so is GGG's shot at the winner. But I bet he gets it.

Golovkin ain't fighting Cotto, so he can either get something or get nada (picking up that belt from a trashcan or fighting the garbage man for it does not really aid Golovkin).

Get the extra scratch so at least he gets something for sticking it out but do something else he has wasted enough time on this situation.

Take the step-aside and try to get Lee in the ring. Maybe he should start testing out 168 as well. It wouldn't hurt to fight Medina.
