Comments Thread For: Cotto’s anti-establishment stance leaves GGG powerless

[aboutfkntime]

yo mang.....

Lets get serious mang, you serious, GGG has big drama show for yo mang Cotto.

But

IF YO MANG COTTO don't want GGG then he should with respect give up the lineal title and let someone win it if he don't mind it being on his resume ?

I respect Cotto !!!! He is a KO artist, a Chicken Chaser, but was fouled up by Margo and Pac , was in limbo without a great trainer to bring him back , then found ROACH and ****O MANG looky what happened.

Cotto under Roacha should fighta Canelo for sure, I wish he would fight May Jr one more time for old time sake and see if he survives that at 154.

I think the Chickena Chasina COTTO with KO the nice shicken Jr

What happened to yo mang Pac ?

I thought you woulda quit that fake-a55 bullshht by now ?

Neither Cotto or Canelo want anything to do with GGG. I'm not saying it as some GGG fanboy, it's just obvious truth. Cotto will never face him and the WBC is more than happy to see the Canelo-Cotto match-up and probably wouldn't be completely torn up if Canelo got the belt. They may or not make Canelo fight GGG if he wins, as I don't see an org based in Mexico stripping a Mexican fighter.

GGG might just be screwed..

i don't think anybody really wanted or expected Cotto to fight GGG, but what most of us wanted was for him to be stripped if he didn't

hopefully this is what happens, cotto can go back down to 154 since he claims he isn't a middleweight, and can no longer hold the lineal title hostage

Good point, and I agree, he should be stripped.

But not for refusing to accept a mandate from Hypekin.

Fcuk the WBC, and fcuk Hypekin, he can make his own way.

The WBC dont recognise Klitschko, but they have decided to recognise Hypekin..... LOL..... Cotto is a superstar, so the WBC suddenly developing some integrity will not bother/affect him..... Cotto will make the best decision for Cotto, rather than be led around like a dog on a leash by those a55hats.

Cotto should be stripped for refusing to fight at 160.

He weighed in at 153, so is clearly not a middleweight.

" Holding the belt hostage ", is one of the silliest expressions, imho.....

But that expression applies perfectly in this case.

Fcuk off back to 154 Miguel.

Ooops, I mean 155, for Canelo

Cotto is the Godfather now. This is not 2012 anymore... When Cotto took Arum out, the takeover came to life.


Cotto is a boss now and peasants ALWAYS wish death on their boss. Envy and low self esteem will drive a peasant to drink.



Drink up!

Lmao !!!! PeasantCrusha u r always a joy to listen to .

Cotto WILL give up the strap. He will not fight GGG.

[ELPacman]

It's hard not to feel for either fighter's case. In, Cotto's case, he's a midget Middleweight that started at 140lbs. For GGG, he's a relative unknown to the casual fans and wants the WBC strap and attention.

Cotto won't give GGG it because he knows GGG is too much for him when it comes to actual Middleweights, and GGG knows Cotto is too small of a Middleweight, an easy win, but he wants that WBC strap and the fame with taking Cotto's scalp.

I just want Cotto to vacate the Middleweight strap so it's up for grabs again and GGG can go a head and collect it, and Cotto stay at the WW to Super Welterweight limit where he probably fits in moreso.

If anyone believes Cotto is a true Middleweight that can handle 160lb guys when he weighed only 153lbs, are serious haters or just pissed Cotto is holding the strap. I can understand if your pissed he's holding the strap, but don't make it that you want to see him get brutalized by a naturally larger dude with serious power. It's not the way he should go out at this stage of his career.

He should collect the massive paycheck with Canelo fight and possibly retire after that because I'm not sure how many other massive paychecks are around that don't present frightening danger.

It's obvious cotto is no middleweight he is an awesome fighter and is even better under Freddie Roach but GGG is much to big for him period.

...
It says a lot that the only two names at 168 people mention GGG with are Ward and Froch shows the respect he has already, which brings me nicely onto another point - people who say Cotto is HUGE and GGG is a nobody - the HBO ratings for the last fights were very close, Cotto vs Geale roughly 1.5/1.6 million, triple G vs monroe 1.3/1.4 million views so its not exactly a huge difference between a multi weight world champion and triple G, the surprising thing is that Canelo-Kirkland had 2.1 million views with HBO! So if you read anything into those stats it is Canelo who is box office out of those 3! Yes I know he probably had the toughest opponent of all 3 but it clearly shows that in comparison with Cotto, triple G is all that!! At least in the eyes of the PPV fans

Just a little note...

When it comes to ratings for the Canelo-Kirkland fight, you have to take into consideration that those ratings were skewed due to the replay of the Mayweather-Pac fight being broadcast immediately prior to the fight. Because of that, the Canelo-Kirkland ratings should not be used for comparisons to other fights.

I dont know how Lyle can follow boxing for so long and be so wrong so often. Cotto is not the middleweight champion, he's the 157 lb champion. I stole this from someone earlier but didn't feel like figuring out who. He's petrified of Golovkin, has nothing to do with bucking the alphabet titles. Get it together Lyle.

I call him the 157 pound champ as I call Floyd the 147 and 152 pound champ Cotto will be knock out by Canelo to end all the drama
