[aboutfkntime]

I'm sure Guerrero, Ortiz and Maidana was relevant

Correct !

Then retire if you don't have the drive to compete anymore.

I dont see Cotto as a hall of famer, he just has not done enough maybe as far as popular fighting or PPV I guess, but I just dont see it....he is good but not great IMO

I agree that Cotto isn't great but you don't have to be great to be a HOF. If someone like Gatti got in, Cotto should definitely go in.

Geale was losing since the bell rang. Whereas Murray came back from knockdown to win some rounds and lasted almost 4 times more rounds than Geale. That's saying how much better Murray is.

No it does not, dont be ridiculous.

Triangle theories do not work in boxing.

Styles make fights.

Geale > Murray, and he beats him head-to-head.

BTW, we are quibbling over nothing, which proves that there is nothing between GGG/Cotto's resume IF Cotto gets by Geale.

I predict Cotto will fight Canelo and then drop back down to 154.

He wont fight Golovkin even if he does manage to beat Canelo. It's just not going to happen.

Canelo vs GGG will happen one day though. Probably in 2017. Canelo's still only 24 years old and not a full Middleweight yet.

It won't be worthless straps if Golovkin unifies them all. He will be able to force Quillin, Lemieux, Lee and others to fight him because no one will be able to become champion without fighting him. He wants to unify like Bernard Hopkins did at middleweight.

In theory, yes. The reality, boxers with named recognition will fight whoever they want. Do you honestly believe we would have seen Golovkin in with any of those guys you mentioned if he had been crowned a year ago?

That middleweight tournament took three Don King fighters and Hopkins willing to sign a 6 fight deal with Don King to make it happen.

By beating Berto and Broner? That's equivalent to Alexander and Collazo. Remember Khan won against Maidana fair and square, the same guy who lost lopsidedly to Alexander.

Isn't Cotto's best wins Judah, Mosley , Martinez?

Margarito 2 was a good win. By round 9 Cheatos head was starting to snap back.

At middleweight.

He has a point, for him fighting both is very optional for him not required. This is the final leg of his career, he fought all of the top guys of his ERA. Now as he close in on retirement, he is collect huge checks because he is a draw in the sport and he has a loyal fans base and can sell out MSG or Barclay Center on his own. They need him a lot more than he needs them that is for sure. Now of course that is frustrating for GGG and Canelo fans of course but that is just the ways things are and nobody can do anything to change that

If Cotto walks away from the negotiation table with Canelo again, Canelo is SCREWED and is likely stuck fighting Joshua Clottey in September. GGG at least has Froch to dance with!
