WBC President: "Miguel Cotto Told Me That He Is Facing Golovkin"

[bigjavi973]

just terrible. the false equivalencies are just terrible. if ward and ggg were champs in the same division then yea that would be a similar situation. since they aren't and you know they aren't its not the same at all. you actually think 2 champs in teh same division should fight at a catchweight just because you don't like ggg? wow great fan

oh please. I would like the Ward-GGG fight for WARD'S LINEAL TITLE to be at the full limit, just like ya want the Cotto-GGG fight for Cotto's lineal title to be at the full limit.

I was. Especially with DLH considering he fought Sturm at the weight prior. If I can be vocal with DLH, definitely other boxers as well.

I'm not really worried about you on this topic homie

No he doesn't but he WOULD fight for Ward's LINEAL TITLE at 168.

Wouldn't ya want a lineal title defended at the proper weight?

my personal preference would obviously be for the fight to happen at 168 so there are no excuses afterwards, however when 2 guys from different divisions fight, a "meet in the middle" deal isnt all that terrible.

That being said, if after that the smaller guy decides to stay and campaign in that division, then that should be the end of any catchweight demands.......

watch ggg demand a catchweight vs ward..... oh wait they did already.

Totally different situation and you are well aware of that. Every time you bring this up, it makes you look more foolish. You are better than that.

damn were people this upset at the ODH-Hopkins cw? Or the SRL vs Lalonde cw???

Catchweights like that are what drove me away from following the sport as a fan back then. Fighters like Mayweather are what kept me away. It took a fighter like Golovkin to get me interested again. If he was to allow himself to fall into the catchweight title game, I would once again give up on the sport and would not bother coming back to it.

The sport of boxing needs some proper rules if it wants to be taken seriously as a top level sport. All this catchweight crap is one of many reasons boxing has fallen to become a fringe sport today.

It is not a serious sport when it is easy for fighters to find legal ways to gain an unethical advantage over an opponent. If catchweights are allowed in title fights, you may as well allow PED use as well.

Golovkin has already stated that any fight with Ward would NOT be for a SMW title as he has no interest at this time in any title other than MW.

oh please. I would like the Ward-GGG fight for WARD'S LINEAL TITLE to be at the full limit, just like ya want the Cotto-GGG fight for Cotto's lineal title to be at the full limit.

you cant compare the 2 scenarios. If GGG won a title at 168, defended it twice, and THEN demanded a catchweight from Ward, you would have a point.

154.1 middleweight championship

Cotto will demand CW and this A-side talk that was spewed by Team GGG will bite them in the ass

[SlySlickSmooth]

Cotto knows his title reign is over.
