Roach: golovkin exposed, didn't get hit on purpose

[RED REP]

geale is a solid MW.

not as bad as ppl say.

i thought cotto would pick a total tomato tbh.

not ggg or nelo but okay.

I hear what you're saying but it's almost laughable because Geale's last fight was GGG who knocked him out within 9 minutes. That's my point. Who's idea was it to fight Geale?! If he decisions Geale it's a loss also because of what GGG did!

funny how Danny Geale is being made out to be some sort of taxi driving tomato can. Dude is (or was) a world-class middleweight. Went to Germany, beat Sylvester and Felix Sturm. against an undersized Cotto, the scrappin aussie is a live dog.

Ggg has unreal Chin. And I think he could have got hit less but decided to provide big big drama show .

Ggg would stop cotto.

he's a good contender but why is cotto defending his title against him instead of the mandatory challenger, a guy who already beat geale and would provide a bigger fight for cotto?

It depends on how healthy Geale is after losing the extra 3 pounds.

If the fight was at 160 I would favour him to win over cotto.

Cotto's career comes to an end if he were ever to fight Golovkin. The night terror's from Margarito that still wake Miguel in the middle of the night have increased with frequency and magnitude ever since Golovkin became his mandatory.

I think if Roach had the chance, he'd trade Abel Sanchez every fighter in his gym for GGG.

Roach is a fking idiot.

Go away Roach you were good in your heyday but now you're nothing more than a self absorbed hindrance.

as a new champ he is allowed to have a voluntary defense. Think about it. Cotto had choices but he took Geale on as opposed to a lesser boxer. Whether or not HBO forced his hand in regards to choosing a credible opponent, give him credit.

Geale was 159lb a month before the fight. I'm not worried about him making weight, IIRC he was around that weight vs GGG and Fletcher.

Roach is correct. You could see GGG was trying hard to hold onto his sense of being this flawless fighter.. He was spinning for his own sake and not so much to convince the public.

"I meant to do that..." ~GGG

"I am BIG predator..." ~GGG

People who speak like this, are always trying to convince themselves more than anything else. There is mental weakness in GGG. The first fighter to force it to the surface can beat GGG.
