Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Reacts To Cotto/WBC Situation

[Strive 4 Truth]

History will not judge Cotto's reign at MW kindly. You can throw out all the archaic technicalities you want, but he's not the best MW in my mind. And I'm willing to bet I'm hardly alone there.

I second that!

The belts/tiles do matter. Unification does matter. Cotto may be lineal but he is no champion if he ducks the best, and that is GGG. Spin it any way you want, but unification and possession of title does matter.

Golovkin wants to unify and break Hopkins' record. Unification means that everyone at MW and coming up from JMW will have to eventually go through him. If he sees bigger opportunities up at SMW he will move up. But judging by his recent weights as he's approached weigh-in, he seems pretty comfy at MW. That's a big problem for a lot of guys under 160. And that's why the critics are so desperate for the Ward fight. They basically want to see GGG up against another A level guy who'll outweigh him by 10-15lbs on fight night. Pathetic.

Well, GGG sure made Cotto his B I T C H by making him pay that 'Don't hurt me just yet' money. Easiest $800K to be made in boxing right there. That was some pimp action, so take note.

Oh yea, that was a great win.....

Golovkins resume is now.....
Murray
Geale
Cotto















No, wait.....

Fact is, Jermain Taylor unified the Middleweight titles but isn't consider an all time great. That being said I would still rank him ahead of Lil G if he where to accomplish the same feat for the simple fact that he faced the best in Hopkins, Pavlik, Froch and even Abraham. When you look at Lil G resume his best win is Martin Murray a solid fighter but no where near the level that Taylor faced in his time. Lil G will never be great if he refuses to take risks and fight guys like Ward or Lara as far as i'm concern he's nothing but hype until he adds either Ward, Lara, Canelo name in there.

GREAT POST !!

Especially the bold !

[aboutfkntime]

He said MW unless it's a big money/name recognition fight. Froch is big money fight at 168. Floyd was big money fight at 154. Chavez (when he was popular) was big money fight at 168.

Stop your excuses willya.

Golovkin wanted to fight " anyone from 154-168 " except Ward

[Bigg Rigg]

he wouldnt get half of the ronda treatment bc mr 97k isnt popular enough..

On here he would be slaughtered!! World wide probably not.
