Cotto is such a huge star compared to ggg....false!

[Weebler I]

At least Cotto doesn't have to go and act like he's mexican just to build a fan base

Cotto has an in-built US population of people of Puerto Rican descent (presumably you are one?)

5m people of Puerto Rican descent in the US.
300 people of Kazakh descent in US

-GGG IS looking for fights against Floyd, Canelo and Cotto, all smaller fighters but is not looking up.

Froch, Chavez? He's looking at all the potential PPV opponents.

-Geale was a higher ranked fighter than Murray until he lost to GGG. Also he is a former unified MW champion. Clearly GGG's best win.

Wouldn't have been the case if Murray had been given the decision in Argentina that he deserved over Martinez.

Cotto would never have fought Murray and wouldn't have the MW title.

Cotto's career in a nutshell -- HoF bound

GGG's career in a nutshell -- still chasing WW and Jr. MW

Daniel Geale -- a tune up for Cotto

Daniel Geale -- GGG's greatest pro accomplishment

Cotto at 34 -- fourth weight class

Golovkin at 33 -- still in his first class

Cotto keeps -- moving up in class and beating guys bigger than him

Golovkin keeps -- running away from Ward and guys who would represent challenges

Cotto's MW accomplishments -- in two fights greater, than GGGs MW resume

Golovkin's MW accomplishments -- hinges on beating a washed up former Jr. WW

Cotto will always be -- greater than GGG

Golovkin will always be -- a flash in the pan

Cotto/GGG will look like -- Garcia/Matthyse

ether........

[The Gambler1981]

If they were to fight, who is the one that would get the short end of the stick on everything?

If Cotto wanted bowls fulls of red M&Ms hand picked by Golovkin for his whole training camp, Golovkin would meet that sort of demand.

They aren't even close to equals if they have to do that sort of thing to get a fight. One obviously needs the other, the other really doesn't need to do anything with the other guy.

alot of accountants in this thread.

So by your logic since Justin Bieber sells more CDs than Miles Davis that makes him better?

interesting position.......

Read the thread title. This is a discussion on star power. Why wouldn't we discuss sales?

Nobody with more than 3 active brain cells can dispute that Cotto is a bigger attraction than GGG. That is fact, and not up for debate. The actual debate is about how far the spread is between them, and it seems the gap is closing. Cotto-stans want to act like GGG is some unknown slob that 99% of boxing fans couldnt pick out of a lineup, and thats just not the case.

Loooooooooool. You're just going to redefine what the thread is about again huh? The post I responded to is quoted below. That is a post about who is better, and has zero relevance in this argument.

many people, in and out of this thread, equate popularity with talent, but those 2 qualities are not mutually exclusive.......

ggg-monroe attendance 12,300

cotto-geale attendance 12,100

ggg purse for monroe:1.5 million

cotto purse for geale: 2 million

ggg-monroe peak ratings: 1.47 million

cotto-rodriguez peak ratings: 1.55 million

So how many PPVs has the Triple Duck sold?

Cotto is the draw in this equation. Period, end of...

[Nay_Sayer]

Lol not sure some of you on here understand what a fact is.

FACT: the Triple Duck has not sold a single PPV...
