    Freddie trained Cotto to beat a shot cripple to steal a title at 160 and then calls Golovkin a cherry picker. The hypocrisy is strong from Roach.

    And yet GGG the so called tough guy is desperate to fight one of Mayweathers and Mannys left overs who is NOW much older and battle worn and of course naturally smaller than GGG.

    Wow! How brave of GGG:lol:

    I hope you understand that putting some rolling laughter emoticons does not make for an actual argument, clearly you are not familiar with middleweight divisional rankings, as per The Ring:

    RIGHT NOW Murray is a top 10 middleweight, Geale is number 4. I believe Murray has been in the top 5 as well previously, check The Ring archives if you want.

    Macklin has had a few setbacks in his recent career but before fighting Golovkin I'm certain he was in the top 10/5 as well.

    Are you referring to canelo? Because canelo-ggg may very well happen in may 2016. Nelo has been on a run so that fight is fine.

    Which pacquiao leftover are you talking about, cotto? Cotto has the lineal title and is fighting at MW, its ok for GGG to fight him, if not cotto should vacate.

    Because Cotto holds the WBC-belt at 160 and it belongs to Golovkin.

    He could fight his mandatory who is cleary the best middleweight since Hopkins or he should say "i'm afraid of Golovkin he is too big" drop the belt go down in weight and fight someone else.

    But Cotto wants to stay at middleweight is ducking his mandatory since 7 month and fight a guy who clearly lost vs Golovkin and he even fights this guy @ catchweight below 160.

    And please stop with Ward he was a SMW and now it seem's he can't even make 168 anymore and has a comeback fight first
    He probably wants Golovkin a catchweight between 172-175

    Ward should give Froch a rematch in the UK or move up to LHW

    He is the mandatory. Why would GGG not want to fight Cotto? You are making no sense.

    So you think GGG should say he doesn't want to fight the lineal champ in his weight class when he is the guy's mandatory, and Cotto is a high profile fighter? Because something something "blown up JWW" herp derp?

    everyone knows that Macklin won the Sturm fight but was robbed.
    Macklin gave Martinez a tough fight for 11 rounds even knocked him down.

    Geale lost a very close fight vs Barker even nearly knocked him out

    Oh I was nice, I threw you guys a bone. Now can we go back to the topic of how GGG is a cherry picker who has no top 10 on his record and only fights bums or old battle worn boxers with 1 or 2 fights left in them i.e Cotto

    There needs to be an express for GGG haters. He's started to look like 'Zaggers in the amount of folks getting butt hurt.

    This...reminds me alot of the margarito hype. Career Middle weight, 33 years old and doesnt have any great wins. But just like Margarito his fans want you to believe he is fighting quality guys.

    Well if Cotto beats geale, they can find out first hand how good Gennady really is.

    It would be a definite step up in competition for GGG, but I think he'd knock him out inside 10 rounds unless Cotto stays on his bicycle and boxes from a distance.

    Barker is a good MW, Sturm and Martinez were both top 2 middleweights and all of these guys had great showings against them so even if they lost (and in some cases that's totally debetable), that's not a slate on them IMO, it shows that they are top middleweights.

    If you guys want to argue that the division is weak, I've no problem with that, but don't go around saying like he hasn't fought top middleweights yet and is instead hiding and fighting bums.

    The likes of Andy Lee, Lemieux, Quillin, N'dam, Cotto are no better than the guys he's already faced.

    So wanting to fight the division champion is "cherrypicking" now. :-( Man, these trolls are just getting worse and worse. :tired At least put some thought into it.
