Cotto asked why he chose Geale over Golovkin (VID)

1. That is just unrealistic. That is like expecting Wladimir's opponents to say, "yes, I am realistic that I will lose every round tomorrow night" at the weigh in. It's like if Freddie Roach had said, "no, I am not very confident in Khan's punch resistance for this fight" before the Garcia fight... I don't know what you all expect him to say.

2. I do obviously agree with your assessment of Cotto's contradictory and delusional assessment of where Golovkin and Geale are in their careers. However, see statement #1. We don't live in a dream world, folks.

3. This is what I'm saying. You are defending weak mandatory defenses from certain fighters but I highly doubt you will always defend every single mandatory defense of every fighter.

4. Uchiyama has been top dog at 130 for years now. I'm not upset about his title reign one bit, I'm a fan, but by the way people discuss other great fighters (in this case Cotto) he should be ripped apart by those same people. I just pulled up his boxrec because of course I couldn't name some of these guys... Were Angel Granados, Roy Mukhlis, Jaider Parra, Israel Perez, and Jomthong Chuwatana all great ranked contenders?! Imagine if Cotto fought someone on that level.

5. I believe Golovkin does want to fight Cotto also. But that doesn't mean anything to the points I've made in regards to him choosing Monroe and how Monroe was deemed an acceptable and to some diehard Golovkin fanatics (who are the ones most negatively focusing on Cotto's opponent choice) even a great opponent. That is a double standard.

 

This guy grew up in a U.S. territory and speaks the language so poorly. GGG's fourth language is English and he speaks it better than Cotto's who's second is English.

 

Ironic how Golvkin's trainer said pretty much the same thing about Lara as Cotto is saying about GGG.

 

I like Golovkin but he should pick on someone his own size

Cotto already paid his dues

Golovkin should take on Froch and become a star in that way

I think hes more than capable of beating Froch

 

atsch Is Sturm not a big name?
Dont go twisting **** around.
Murray was lucky do get a draw with Sturm and Macklin proved his worth.

 

*cotto
*whose

 

so you actually think ggg should pick on someone froch's size.

 

Yeah Golovkin seems like a really exceptional talent and he can take on bigger guys

Thats what great fighters do in many instances

They fight bigger guys

 

geale cotto is a good fight thoughim picking geale

 

then you shouldn't say he should pick on someone his own size. in many instances great fighters also clean out their divisions, unify and claim lineal titles before fighting bigger guys.

 

Difference being of course that Lara has NO relevance or resume at GGGs weightclass whereas GGG is the biggest name opponent there is for Cotto at 160 (should he choose to remain there) and his mandatory. I for one would actually quite like to see Lara vs GGG, but the situations aren't comparable.

 

If he decides to keep fighting other guys while holding the belt then I wouldn't be for that either

But hes trying to hold the belt and fight Canelo for one last hurrah

Thats why the WBC is letting him do this

And I think thats just fine

Cotto Canelo is BIG and better for boxing than Golovkin smashing Cotto in a complete mismatch
