Fighting nobodies at this point is not better than staying on the shelf, still like triple jeepers but these fights have no stop.
Monroe is probably the best opponent they could get. Cotto obviously doesn't want to face him and all the other top middleweights are fighting around that time. I think Golovkin should be applauded for staying busy and fighting three to four times a year, don't you? If he were only fighting twice a year like Mayweather, Pacquiao, Klitschko, et al., I could see your point. But, come on, give the guy a break.
they didn't fear Chavez Jr at 168. they've tried to get Froch. i think they believe he is unbeatable as well. do you hear anyone besides the goof Lara calling him out, whining they didn't get the fight or sending contracts? no.
He is being active so it's a good thing that he is fighting often, but HBO cannot justify him fighting on HBO with this guy and not do it for others now. In addition, K9 vs. Monroe.... K9 is a better opponent..... So all GGG fans who come up on Cotto for fighting K9 in June cannot say anything. As I mentioned, in all honesty because GGG is so active, I do not mind the fight. But, they cannot say that they couldn't find a better opponent than Monroe.... that is just not true. If Cotto was fighting Monroe in June, most GGG fans would have a panic attack lol
i wouldn't. if he isn't going to vacate the belt at least Monroe is a middleweight, and might just beat Cotto's ass. and not a 'panic attack', maybe a temper tantrum.
Don't blame Cotto either. He has a voluntary defense he's using. Foh. Tired of th GG b.s. Tired of it!
