    He fought Golovkin Cotto Mudine Slyvester and Barker

    I always quite liked Geale. I don't think I've seen someone look as bad on the scales for a fight as he did against Cotto

    a lot of people used the drained excuse when they lose but he literally looked like an aids patient that fight

    Cotto ducked Golovkin to fight the guy Golovkin KO'd (saying Golovkin wasn't proven!).
    Then he wouldn't even fight Geale, a former MW champion, at 160. He used his A-side Diva power to force a weight Geale had never made, 157. Imagine the lack of honour it takes to do that. Then imagine being a Cotto fan and saying ''erh, Geale don't have to agree, do he? It his fault den''. Yeah, then he never gets a title fight again.
    That particular Cotto drain clause was one of the most disgraceful I've seen. Even Canelo's pale in comparison.
