Cotto and Roach want to drain GGG to 155 lbs for a MW title fight unification

Applying scrutiny to Cotto's resume makes grim reading. Incumbent champions beaten? And even those have an asterixes next to them due to the opponents fighting injured for paydays.

 

If you have trouble making 155-160 lbs you know is time to move to 168 too many boxers draining themselves to the limit of the division to ballon themselves three division north. Those are the real cheaters, thats why some boxers make catchweights because of too much size diference.

 

depends if ggg's team knows he can make 155. this could sucker cotto into a fight same way roach suckered dlh into a fight with pac.

 

If the fight is for the 160 lb. title, it should be at 160 lbs., but Golovkin said that he would go down to 154 to fight Void. Golovkin would still knock Cotto out at 155 or 154, but that is Jr. Middleweight not middleweight................Hagler did not fight at 154 for his 160 lb. title................

 

This is fine tbh.

It's Cotto's way is saying Golovkin is the best MW in the world and he needs an advantage to beat him. An advantage that Golovkin himself provoked by saying he would fight from 154-168 for the right money.

This will be more than he's ever made in a fight he will still be a huge favourite in. I say he sweats off the pounds, beats cotto in December and leaves the MW division in his own hands. If anyone wants to be king they go through Golovkin. Even Quillan would have to take the fight then and Sylvester will fight anyone anyways.

It's all about risk reward, it is a risk for Golovkin dropping the pounds but the rewards far out weigh the risks involved.

In a fair world he shouldn't have to do this but boxing is a business and Cotto is the A side. If this has to be done to make the fight then Golovkin should do it. He'll still beat him at 154 if he had to imo.

 

bulls.hit
no more with this small middleweight stuff. if hes big enough to destroy the middleweight champ and take his belt, then fight your fellow title holder in a unification at the fuc.king weight the belts are in. These coddled fighters are disgraceful when they pull the catch weight garbage for a division seperated by all of 6 pounds. atsch
I dont remember legends like Tommy Hearns jumping up from 160 and going straight to 175 and fighting Andries for his WBC light heavyweight title. can you imagine the HITMAN requesting a 170 pound catch weight so he has a better chance at winning?? :rofl
Thats why a guy like Hearns is a legend and a guy like cotto will have asterix and a list of demands he will be remembered for when he dared to be great. PATHETIC :-(

 

Ehhhh WTF... The 160 WBC Champ will defend his 160 WBC Title but the opponent is just allowed to weigh 155?!?! Hahahaha atsch

It's right, GGG said 154 to 168, but that is a stupid game from cott/Roach... :good

Hey GGG, call out Ward for your Titels, but tell him the catch weigh will be 156 thumbsup

 

Obviously I understand why Roach/Cotto would want this but it just makes a mockery of the title for me. I wouldn't have a problem if they went down to 154lbs but fighting at 155 for the Middleweight title, it's sad.

 

agreed.
its all moot. aint never gonna happen. bring on Andy Lee

 

Hopkins had to do the same for Oscar.

 

doesnt make it acceptable, proves DLH was an ATG DIVA too
