Actually, something I thought of a couple of weeks back.....
Imagine if Lemieux lands betsy and sparks Golovkin.
Oh Lordie, wouldn't that really fcuk things up
Lemieux would be the biggest killer since Liston.
I would just about cry I think, I couldn't bear it.
Golovkin had better win, I'm sure he will.
Lemeuix is not that great a boxer. He merely has power.Comment

Canelo up first, then a fight with Golovkin (if it does happen) would be a hell of a way to finish out a career. I really don't understand how some boxing fans cannot be a fan of Miguel Cotto. The guy has been giving us the fights fans have been wanting his entire career. He may make some moves that rub some folks the wrong way, but it's a part of the game.Comment

I feel the same way about GGG, Fury, Maidana, and Yaegashi.Comment

I think that Cotto will fight Golovkin.
In fact I am sure of it.
The thing is, Cotto is a diva, no question about that...... but in most respects he has more than earned that right. A lot of people react to the fact that Cotto will exert his authority, completely forgetting that in this game everyone is out for themselves, and everyone is out for every little advantage they can get.
Cotto will not be dictated to, especially not by Golovkin.
GGG would have to agree to a catchweight, and he will not get 50/50.
I think that they will fail to meet Cottos demands.
Team Golovkin will then blame Cotto, and happily fight for a vacant strap.Comment

P4P..... Team Golovkin are much bigger divas than Cotto.Comment

I think if he says 157 then GGG better jump at the opportunity. I see it being more like 155. They're not ******, they're gonna drain him as much as possible. And GGG team know already they're not gonna get 50/50 against either guy. 70-30 would be fair IMO.Comment

So you'll have no issue with Cotto fighting a 3rd lineal middleweight title defense at 157 or below?

I dont just choose to moan about the ones that disadvantage my guy.
Know what I mean ?
I have no problem with a 155 catchweight demand for Golovkin, for the following reasons.....
1) GGG tried that catchweight bullshht with Ward, so hard luck for him
2) Cotto is obviously a JMW, considering that he weighs 153
3) Golovkin stated that he can make 154 and be healthy
Catchweights are a fkn joke, they are OBVIOUSLY being abused.
But " fans " choose to accept catchweights when it suits them......
..... and if you play with fire, you will likely get burnt.Comment

Cotto doesn't have anything to prove and thus doesn't need to fight Golovkin to cement his legacy or to become a future hall of famer but if he beats Canelo and has no intentions of a unification bout directly following that win at 160 lbs against Golovkin, he needs to give up the belt unless he wants to looks really foolish and lose all credibility.Comment

As long as Cotto is under 160 pounds, he is the WBC and Ring Magazine middleweight champion. He can be 152, he can be 150...shoot he could be 146. Doesn't matter as long as he is under 160Comment
