"GENNADY GOLOVKIN’S team are ready for talks with Billy Joe Saunders over a possible December unification clash." [...] "Golovkin won’t be short of options for December, with Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto also keen to face him." http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/bo...l-Canelo-Alvarez-Billy-Joe-Saunders-Las-Vegas 2017 has been a fantastic boxing year!!!
I'd also prefer Saunders to be honest. I think Cotto is just too old and small. Just glad that Team GGG is keen on fighting again this year.
Should definitely be Saunders IMO. There's a very good chance Golovkin will retire after the lucrative Canelo rematch (or maybe after a trilogy) so win, lose or draw I would like to see him become Undisputed before that happens. Seeing Saunders' big fat mouth getting stuffed would be a nice cherry on the cake too. Cotto's too small and too faded and I'd much rather see his fantastic career end with his hand raised rather than flat out on his back. If he's looking for a final payday then a Canelo rematch or maybe even McGregor (if possible) would be a better option than Golovkin for his final fight.
Saunders, much easier and far more valuable fight for Golovkin, then beat Canelo in May and fight Cotto, Eubank or remath with Jacobs at the end of the year and then GGG will probably retire.
Not Cotto. Too small and not the fighter he once was. He's probably the more likely of the two but no thank you. Get Saunders, take his belt and then have some credence to the whole 'all the belts' stuff.
You just know Conor's hardcore fans will fall for it a second time as well. "Yeah well Floyd beat Cotto too so it will be a more even playing field this time, something something angles, something something southpaw"
LOL I was cheering for Conor even though I knew he's get murked. He actually did a lot better than I thought, I'd imagined that he'd have landed about 12 punches on Floyd all night. But Cotto would pop a cap in him ... bad.
Yeah I was brainlessly rooting for Conor too and to be fair he did better than I expected him to, at least early on. But I think most of that was to do with Floyd selling the show a bit and carrying Conor to at least the middle rounds. Floyd barely threw anything in the first three. Cotto wouldn't be anywhere near as hospitable, he'd walk Conor down from the first bell just like Floyd was late on only with more aggression and more power. No TKO this time, Conor getting slept.
Either fight GGG wins. What's Saunders gonna do when his gas tank has fallen out from under him from GGGs legitimately unrelenting pressure. He should take it to unify, cotto is a meh money fight
I'd prefer to see Saunders GKTFO, but sounds like Saunders is calling out Khan. Cotto is at the end, don't need to see him take a goodbye beating. i know the weights won't work, but I'd prefer a Cotto-Pac 2 instead.
WTF is Cotto going to do to GGG? You can wrap his gloves with Margo's wrap and he'll still get his arse kicked.
