[mathed]

Cotto is A side.. he will drag this bum through the mud in negotiations.

WAR COTTO.

And still get wrecked in the ring.

And still get wrecked in the ring.

Much like Triple Duck gets wrecked by Ward.

then the fight wont happen its pretty simple i guess they will have to decide if the belt or cotto is more important if cotto wins against canelo

You are completely clueless homie.

Says the guy who, despite pretending to be a knowledgable fan, and having it explained to him 20 + times already, can't get it into his dumb head that the "A side" can't demand a CW in a mandatory title fight.

golovkin and ward are closer in size than golovkin and cotto.

cotto's best weight was 147 lbs. most of NSB wasn't watching boxing when cotto was a WW, and one of the best p4p fighters on the planet.

Ward and Kovalev are closer still.

Not that that has any relevance to GGG vs Cotto, but I just thought I'd point it out.

this is the outcome i see too. i believe canelo (if it happens) will beat cotto, but no way in hell oscar lets him fight GGG. the only way i see GGG getting a big fight is by moving up

I think we can all scrap that nobody wants to fight GGG bs. Cuz that's what it is.... BS

This guy is the epitome of a one trick pony.

It is quite convenient to put everything related to ABC organisations outside the brackets because at the moment it does not suit your agenda. But relying on ABCs is the best way for Golovkin. He is from obscure country and did not have nationalistic or ethnic-driven fanbase. He can succeed only basing on merit. ABCs provide at least some semblance of the fair game, where the talented fighter can rise in the rankings and earn a mandatory position to fight a champion. Which is also why it is a REAL goal of Golovkin to collect all belts, not some plot. This way he will be a recognised champion and whoever wants this glory (including big money cows like Canelo) will have to go through him. Fighting Ward at this juncture in time is not useful, because GGG gains the weight and misses on all the match-ups at 160 (or maybe even below that)

I don't give a damn about the ABC groups because they corrupt and irrelevant. I also don't give a damn about them because I'm knowledgeable enough as a fan to know who's real, and who's not.

And your entire obscure country/needs belts argument goes to **** in two simple words, Manny Pacquiao. He's from an obscure country. His breakthrough into elite status, the first Barrera fight. No ABC belt on the line. The entire Morales trilogy, no ABC belt was on the line in any of those fights. His breakthrough into becoming a crossover star, against DLH. Again, no ABC belt was on the line. His signature KO against Hatton, no ABC belt was on the line.

So explain to me again why GGG needs to chase belts against ****ty fighters again. Cause I've got more. Floyd Mayweather, highest earning fighter in boxing history, never unified all the ABC belts in any of the five divisions he won belts in. Manny Pacquiao, never unified all the ABC belts in any of the eight divisions he won belts in. Oscar de la Hoya, mega crossover star. Never unified all the ABC belts in any of the six divisions he won belts in. Notice a theme? Cause from where I'm sitting, it seems like a willingness to move up chase bigger names and the best fighters is the way to crossover stardom than sitting around fighting for meaningless trimkets against paper titlist.

You're turn.

Triple bum must do everything Cotto says. Catch weight baby!

Well Its Ward begging for the fight not GGG, Golovkin is doing Ward a favour here all Ward needs to do is agree the terms he is afterall suppose to be the second best fighter in the world according to some on here so...
We all know who does better numbers and its certainly not Ward.

Or the guy who realizes that GGG cares more about the payday against the Cotto-Canelo winner moreso than the belt.
