    An even better question is; exactly WHO has Bumlovkin fought?

    How did Martinez avoid GGG? GGG didn't become somewhat reagent until 2013 when Martinez was injured he came back and lost to Cotto in his next fight?
    Geale is GGG's best win got destroyed the same way by Cotto.

    And when asked Cotto says he has no problem with the fight after Alvarez.

    Remind me again how GGG even got his title? Maybe old ass Strum or Quillin and you'd have a point but Cotto taking a tuneup to adjust to his 4th Weight Class and now the biggest fight in boxing isn't ducking. Neither is fighting the Legitimate division champ over a then intriem titlist.

    Both equally bad, taking advantage of star power to weaken their opponents. Frankly, I think it was Pac that taught Cotto this dirty trick.

    then that answers your question about why CW pursuing Cotto is holding the belt hostage. He is reducing the quality of opposition by forcing lifetime middleweights into weights they can not make without draining their strength and reducing them to shadows of themselves.

    GGG is the consensus best at MW. Plus his knees are fine. That makes him by default better than anyone Cotto has fought in MW.

    Cotto got 2 belts against opponents whose knees gave out mid fight. Some achievement this is. He is like a wolf, hunting down the weak and the frail.

    Sorry but NO. Cotto KO'ed the legitimate #1 guy in the division as well as KO'ing the guy who represents the best win on Bumlovkin's resume. The Triple Duck is NOT the consensus best guy in the division. Not even close...

    How are you the consensus #1 in the division when you have never fought and beaten the best guy there? Exactly HOW does that work, Einstein?

    if he beats the "best guy" there is, he will get criticized by idiots like you for picking on a former WW, and to add to that, the Ring Champion at MW is doing everything in his power NOT to face his #1 challenger and mandatory :patsch

    I'd agree to an extent. There is no consensus number 1 at middleweight. Golovkin may have been denied his chance at the champion but that doesn't mean he is the champion now.

    Cotto maybe the man who beat the man but Martinez was ready to be taken and had been avoiding the consensus number 2 guy like Cotto is now.

    I think most would favour Golovkin should they fight, he's naturally bigger, hits harder and looks unstoppable at 160lbs but that's not the same as actually beating Cotto.

    Well that's pretty much guaranteed to happen. It happened to BHop when he beat Tito and I don't expect Golovkin to be any different if he gets his chance against Cotto.

    There is nothing you can do about the haters, Golovkin could go all the way up and become undisputed light heavyweight champion and clean out the division and you'll still have people point out his best win at middleweight was against a former welter and ignore the fact that was the case with BHop, Hagler and Monzon.

    plain and simple agenda, Hopkins' biggest names at 160 are former WW's, yet people bash Golovkin for going after a former WW who's currently Ring and WBC champion at 160 :think
