Comments Thread For: Scully: You Saw Cotto's Response on Fighting Golovkin

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Trainer John Scully gave nothing but praise to WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (40-4, 33KOs) for his performance this past Saturday night, when the Puerto Rican star knocked out Daniel Geale in four rounds at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Scully feels Cotto has looked like a fresher version of himself in recent fights.

Absolutely 100 percent true.. He shouldn't take that fight.. But if that's the case then drop the tittle and move on. You've already made history by winning the title and made a defense of it. No shame in dropping the title and continue fighting at 154. Cotto is my favorite fighter but if he's not gonna fight his mandatory then drop the belt..

No matter what these chumps think or hate on this site, they can't take away that Miguel Cotto is The Lineal Middleweight champion of the World. So drop the belt which really doesn't mean **** anyway and go beat Canelo's ass.

I share the exact same thoughts as Scully.

I see no shame in Cotto not taking the GGG fight as he's no where near the true Middleweight size that is required to face GGG.

Also seeing a Canelo fight with Cotto just has an awesome vibe to it. Another Mexico vs Puerto Rico matchup that will provide true fireworks. The young blood vs the old warrior. Has a great ring to it and it's still winnable by Cotto.

Now, I don't think Cotto is scared of GGG on a personal level. If Cotto was a true 160lb fighter, I have no doubt he would of faced GGG just as he faced Margarito when nobody wanted to. Cotto is a warrior. But this is the issue of size mattering, especially when GGG is a monster of 160lb fighter and Cotto doesn't even weigh more than 155lbs on his weigh-ins.... It's just a mismatch of size and Cotto is smart in that respect.

I agree with you. However, Cotto has to vacate that belt. GGG and his trainer have already said that it is not Cotto they are after. It is realy the belt. All GGG wants is the belt and he deserves it. Cotto knows that GGG would give him a severe beating. Cotto should get off the pot and give up the belt.

I'd be kind of pissed that the lineage would stop at Cotto... Lineage > Belts and it's a shame GGG won't get a chance at it.

Otherwise agree though with everything else.

this is an opinion not fact because the fact is cotto will face ggg next after he beats canelo he told lampley straight up he would fight ggg if they can agree on terms that interview after the fight was like why mention ggg when everyone knows the canelo fight is next

[Willie_pep1]

Cotto is a lil guy with bombs in his hands

I'm not a fan of catchweights but at the same time if it nearly kills you to lose 2-3lbs in order to make weight, then you're fighting in the wrong weight class to begin with.

As long as GGG gets the winner of Cotto-Canelo, all is good in boxing. The best fighting the best contender is what the sport should be about and we know GGG is the no. 1 contender.
