If GGG can make 154, then a 156/157 cw request should not kill that fight.
1) Cotto is OBVIOUSLY a JMW
2) Golovkin stated that he can make 154
3) Golovkin demanded a catchweight from Ward
4) Golovkin desperately needs a world-class opponent on his resume'
5) GGG will make 0 by refusing a cw and waiting for the winner to be stripped
6) Based on the fact that he will make 0 by refusing a cw, it will make Golovkin appear like a paper champ who took the easy way out..... especially considering the fact that they used money as a reason to avoid Ward/Lara
7) That could be a great fight
It really sounds like very few of you actually want to see that fight.
You guys suck

I see know problem with a CW @155 for the GGG fight. Since neither one has fought a true MW. Most MW weigh 15-20 lbs more anyways so ggg has been hit by much bigger boxers. I wonder what GGG would weigh if he didn't fight 100 cans a year and just did two major fights a year like everyone else. His fight just did only 150k. He's going to ask for 50/50 split if not MORE and then no CW. At which point cotto/Saul will tell his CHEAP @ss promotors to go Fk-off. Saul is only 25 years old so he should move up and fight 2-3 times at MW against real MW. And then fight GGG may/Sept 2017.
What's going to happen is a rematch between Saul/cotto or Floyd will come out of retirement and fight the winner while the media HO steaks ducking and then Ward twos ggg to STFU!
What would you rather do?? Fight Cotto at 157 in a sold out MSG or Barclays Center on a super huge ppv?? Or have WBC force Cotto to vacate so then he can fight another bum and win the belt?? He's said he would go to 154 for Floyd and could make the weight no problem. Well, Floyd's gone and Cotto (if he beats Canelo) is the man now. So make the weight for Cotto. And if you win, you become what you and everyone wants you to become. At the end of the day, yes, Cotto is the Middleweight Champion but he's not a real middleweight. Remember when he was a small Jr. middleweight???

Why is Cotto "the man"? Based on what exactly? Ducking GGG and fighting Geale instead (and draining career MW to 157)? Some "man"... Golovkin likely beats Cotto at 156, but I don't think that he shall do it. Losing weight in his age may have lasting effects - it may diminish his abilities going ahead (keeping in mind possible venture to 168)

He's not gonna go to 168 imo. Nobody there. He's not a big guy either. He can stay at 160 for a while. Hopkins fought Oscar at a cw, understood the magnitude of beating a guy like him and it paid off. Didn't affect him long term either. And I said Cotto is the man because fighting him if he beats Canelo is the biggest money fight for Golovkin. Floyd is gone, Cotto is now the cash cow should he win next month.
