Comments Thread For: Golovkin Rejects Idea of Catch-Weight For Cotto, Canelo

[The plunger man]

Nope !

Golovkin demanding that Cotto fight him at 160 will not abolish catchweights.

GGG has nothing to do with it.

Golovkin is a catchweight abuser himself, so its actually none of his business.

It is too late now, you guys accept catchweights when it suits you...... well, this time it suits lil 153lb Cotto.



Yep, the Canelo/Cotto fight will determine the best JMW on the planet.

So, you admit that Cotto and Canelo are both JMW's, but still support Golovkins refusal to consider a catchweight?..... and this is despite the fact that Cotto weighs 153..... despite the fact that Cotto is the A-side..... and despite the fact that Golovkin demanded a catchweight from Ward?

Again you are ******ed ......154 is the jnr middleweight limit....so if it's at 157 there still fighting in the middleweight division 154-160 is middleweight...157 is 3lbs more than 154 which is when a fighter no longer becomes a jnr middleweight and becomes a middleweight lol....Was you dropped on your head as a baby to have this kind of damage.....the bottom line is cotto or canelo are on borrowed time in the middleweight division because next they will have to face golovkin..which in turn will make either cotto or canelo former champions because they have as much chance of beating golovkin as you understanding what weight divisions mean in boxing

In a middleweight title fight, 153 is middleweight.

In a middleweight title fight, 160 and anything under 160 is middleweight.

Oh my bad, the belta again. I forgot this is Beltville. Where you can put the 40th and 50th ranked fighters in a division in a ring. And say its for the WRGOPQ interim emeritus gold silver copper championship of thhe world and thw rules change.

No, it doesn't...... learn the sport.

To be a LHW you would need to do 2 things.....

1) undertake a training camp where you can prepare to fight at 175, against an opponent who will be doing the same
2) actually fight a LHW

Ward has never done any of those things.

In the Smith fight Ward was coming DOWN to fight a SMW.

He did NOT even prepare to be the best 172lb'er on the planet, because the camp was designed to bring him DOWN in weight, not up..... the goal was to eventually get to 168, which would require a completely different approach.

You need to understand about weight and preparation.

That is like calling Canelo a middleweight because he chooses to fight JMW's at 155 out of entitlement.

Choosing to fight a JMW at 155 simply because it suits him does not make Canelo a middleweight..... it makes him unprofessional./QUOTE]

Whether you come up or down to a weight is irrelevant.

If you fight at 172lbs you are fighting within the LHW division. Therefore, by definition, you are fighting as a LHW.

LEARN THE SPORT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fighting at 172 on your way DOWN to 168
vs
Fighting at 172 on your way UP to 175

..... would require two completely different style camps.

i hate to break it to you, but Ward will be much stronger at 175 than he was weighing 172 whilst preparing to make 168.

You just embarrassed yourself.

Lol. No mate, you are demonstrating your ignorance of the fundamental basis of how weight limits generate weight divisions in boxing.

It's the upper weight limit that defines the division. NOT what one of the fighters happens to weigh when he steps on the scale.

You admitted to me that Cotto and Canelo are both JMW's, remember ?

[xpsm24]

yet you had no issues with him fighting lemieux, who's last fight was on fox. Or monroe, who's previous fight was on espn. Stfu!!!!!!

good one, got em''

And I'm sure if the American public had to choose a Mexican canelo over ugolovkin I will be very surprised[/QUOTE

This ^^^^^^right here is an interesting comment coming from a GGG fan. Golovkin is from Kazakhstan a former member of what was once the Soviet Union. America's number one all time enemy. And what exactly makes you think we would favor a Kazakhstan over a neighbor Mexican who by the way looks like an Irish man. For the record I don't root for either one but if I had to choose one over the other to root for it would be Canelo.

I like canelo and golovkin....I am not biased .....all I want to see is the best fight the best with no silly catchweights and if your fighting in the middleweight division then you fight the middleweights...I hate pretenders and divas....when Leonard moved up to fight marvin hagler he didn't say to hagler fight me at 155...hearns and Duran didn't as well...they just got in the ring...as for golovkin being Russian as being bitter enemies of the states...I'm English and I would choose the Russians over the USA because your country has caused more problems in this world than any nation lately...and your world dominance is coming to an end.....look around and most people don't like your country anymore because your policies

******.....

You tried to tell me that Canelo is a middleweight because he weighs 155.....

And yet in the post above you state that the UPPER limit defines the division.

Confused ?

160 defines middleweight, and yet Canelo has never fought a middleweight opponent, and he comes in weighing 155.

Or does your latest theory only work when you need lil 153lb Cotto to be classified as a middleweight ?

[The plunger man]

You admitted to me that Cotto and Canelo are both JMW's, remember ?

No I didn't.....show me where I said that.? Lol...there fighting above 154 so how can they be light middleweights....the moment they fight at 153 then they are light middleweights but until they make that weight then they are fighting at middleweights ...it's common sense

Except 153 is not Middleweight. 148-154 is Jr. Middleweight.

155-160 is Middleweight.
