    Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto Warns That It's Catch-Weight or NO Fight

    WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32KOs) is not concerned with any weight related complaints that are coming from his opponents.

    This Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Cotto will make the first defense of his world title against former champion Daniel Geale (31-3, 16KOs).

    Last June, Cotto challenged Sergio Martinez for the WBC title with a catch-weight of 159-pounds in place. For the fight with Geale, a catch-weight of 157-pounds was demanded and set in motion.

      What's with Cotto always threatening to pull out, cancel, or not go thru with a fight if his diva demands aren't met?

            "I have to be honest-if it's not a title fight, then a catchweight is not a problem. But if you're fighting for a middleweight title, then weight limit is 160 for that fight," Geale said. "I find it funny. It should be at 160 but I'm not going to complain."
            This is exactly correct. This is why the Canelo criticism fighting at 155 is nonsense.

              Cotto is gunning for FOTD for 2010-2019. Catchweight fights against fighters who used to be good is one criteria the journalists look at when voting.

                He's not threatening to cancel. He's saying this to all future opponents

                    Then Cotto should be stripped of his belt. Immediately.
