    GGG is not superman for real. He eats groceries just like the next man and he can get knocked out. All it takes is the right amount of power in the right spot. Lemieux has the power and the skill to deliver that punch. Yeah he might lose but then again he might not. People riding GGG's jock like he's invincible. I think not.

    I don't follow. They tried to make the fight for the spring and it didn't work out. They are now going to fight in the fall. In the lead up to the Geale fight, it was widely known that Cotto and Canelo would fight next. Cotto was widely criticized for going after that fight instead of Golovkin

    cotto has already faced the best, at this age he doesnt have much to prove especially when his body has been through so much wear and tear.

    it's funny people give a 19 year old canelo **** for not knocking Matthew Hatton out, but when it's Lemieux getting knocked out suddenly the he was 22! age excuse comes out. If Canelo got knocked out at 22 and fought Floyd people would completely **** on the fight.

    you know it's the truth cst, the same people who are using the Lemieux was 22 excuse were the same people saying Canelo couldn't even knock hatton down or out. imagine if he got knocked out by cotto's brother, or cintron whether he was winning the fight or not. floyd would have got completely shat on for taking the fight.

    We heard all this back in July of last year too. All the way thru February.

    It was a done deal. It was a done deal.
    Oh, it's all but signed.


    Oscars tells him to take his diva @ss up the road and calls on 220lb Kirkland to boil back down to MW. :rofl

    Cotto drains Geale to 157.

    Yeah, steel huevos.

    I haven't said annything about Canelo, who I think is good and entertaining. Age plays a factor in boxing, like in any other sports. Does it?

    Not really, he has wins over Mosley, Judah, Clottey(before Pac), and Quintana, an undefeated Martinez for over half a decade.
