Comments Thread For: Cotto: GGG Never Beat Top Foe, Canelo Failed To Shine!

[aboutfkntime]

Sergio was p4p top 5 for a while. If he wasnt the best, who was? GGG might have been, but he wasnt proven enough for p4p top 50

Who is currently the best fighter at 175 ?

The thing is that he is forcing a career MW Down in weight at this point in time. Had Cotto taken this gimme fight say 6 months ago, few would have raised an eyebrow, but him keeping the belt hostage in this rather de****able fashion is disrespectful to the sport and shows a lack of integrity I did not expect from a normally classy guy like Cotto.

The belt is worthless, so he is disrespecting nothing.

Are the WBC respecting Klitschko, by not ranking him in their top-10 ?

You rating a worthless belt ahead of a proven legend who has earned his position, and ahead of an undeserving hypejob who is preying on smaller name fighters like Canelo/Mayweather/Cotto, is more disrespectful to the sport imho.

When Martinez was lineal champ, he lost to Cotto !

Why have you decided to confuse the issue with another silly fanboy accolade?

The only thing more over-rated than " lineal "..... is " P4P ".

Good luck arguing with me about something that is completely subjective.

It just gets harder and harder being a fan of Miguel these days.

This fight is clearly a tuneup. Shake off the rust, look good and start calling shots after.

I don't know why people are getting all worked up. He wins and then negotiates with Canelo. Isn't that the gameplan? What, people want him to lose before we see that or something?

Cotto has paid his dues and now has the upper hand at middle. I don't think he's in a rush to fight GGG but I wouldn't be surprised if he makes that fight if the Canelo fight doesn't come to fruition. He's never said he doesn't want that fight but he has set one term (catchweight). Crap if true but he could've said something worse like, "maybe in a couple years." He's even got an outside shot at getting a Mayweather rematch or who knows? Him and Lee would sell well at Barclays. Let him get his tuneup in and hopefully we don't get a Trout redux. I don't mind Canelo-Kirkland and Cotto-Geale if Cotto-Canelo is next.

Cotto isn't trying to be that high profile name on GGG's resume, because he knows he'd get his ass kicked.
He should just STFU and vacate that title. Problem solved.

So, it is delusional to expect Cotto to fight Golovkin, despite Cotto holding some ABC belt?

Fkn superb, common-sense is your friend, well done.

Cotto is clearly not a middleweight, and he is clearly winding down his career. Cotto accidentally collecting the WBC middleweight belt, and lineal MW title, by winning a money fight against Martinez..... means nothing for Golovkin.

Golovkin should stop trying to pad his record with smaller name fighters like Cotto/Canelo/Mayweather, and carve his own path, like Canelo is doing.

Silly ****s - mostly casual fans - think that ABC belts and lineal titles matter.

But they dont.

Cotto is the 5th consecutive Lineal Middleweight Champion who WAS NOT the best fighter at 160.

The only thing more over-rated than " lineal " is P4P.

If Cotto is motivated by the right thing, he will accept an offer from Mayweather for September, tell Canelo that his last chance to secure a fight will be early 2016..... and then ride off into the sunset.

There's no excuse. Cotton is frightened, he knows that he will be knocked unconcious by golovkin.

I wrote this in another thread, I'll just re-post it here:

"It's Funny that people keep saying GGG has fought nothing but bums, but isn't Sergio Martinez Cotto's biggest win since 2007 (against Mosley, unless you count Clottey as a Class "A" fighter lol)? Martinez is the same guy that went life and death against two of "bums" GGG beat easily (didn't lose a round), which are Martin Murray (many people thought Martinez lost) and Matthew Macklin."

I like Cotto but his resume is not as strong as people want to believe; only counting his WINS, I don't **** on fighters for defeats but we have to judge them by their WINS. How many class "A" opponents has Cotto beaten? You have Sergio Martinez (I addressed him already) and before that you have to go all the way back to 2007 for Mosley. Unless anyone thinks guys like: Delvin Rodriguez, Antonio Margarito, Ricardo Mayorga, Yuri Foreman, Michael Jennings, Alfonso Gomez, Joshua Clottey as Class "A" opponents? Some of those opponents may have been well known, but doesn't mean they were so called "A" level opponents (as many people want to call them). Even before he fought Mosley he didn't have many, but that's not a bad thing since he was still coming up through the ranks. GGG doesn't have the best resume, but to act like Cotto has beaten nothing but killers (or Class "A" opponents) is laughable. I won't disagree with Cotto having a better resume than GGG, because he does.

Now, I'm not mad that Cotto isn't fighting GGG next or even after this fight if the Canelo fight is available I say go for it. It's a fight I would love to see. But people should stop trying to protect him too much, as long as Cotto is at Middleweight and holds a Middleweight belt he is fair game for the rest of the Middleweights. If he doesn't want to fight at 160, he should just simply drop down to 154.

Lmfao at that one tool shed that wrote a 3000 word post crying about how ggg should move up to smw to fight Froch to get that a list name then drop back down to what would be a CW fight for Cotto at probably 155. Cotto is the a list name that GGG wants but he is running scared
