Didnt GGG said he could make 154? why not fight Cotto at 155 for a CAREER PAYDAY?

    Ggg himself and camp said they would come down to 154 for a major fight "mayweather" so i dont see the problem with going down to 155 cotto is not a real middleweight, doubt this fight happens regardless at least until the canelo fight

    Why would anyone even think that a fight for THE Middleweight Championship would be contended for at 155 pounds? Sick and tired of Freddie The Joke Coach Roach and his catchweight fights.

    It is absurd to even suggest that. It is even more hilarious that morons would think that because GGG said he would fight at 154 that it means he should fight for the Middleweight championship at a catchweight of 155 :lol::rofl:patsch

    If he want sto defend hid 160 Belt he shoud do it in the 160 Division with a 160 Limit, if not, he should vacate and go back to 154 :deal
    Is it that hard to understand?

    If IF IF Marco Huck would capture the WBC belt against Stiverne, would it be ok to say to Wlad you can fight me for unification but under 190 please :hi:

    Hope the WBC gets him a mando soon..

    Middleweight is from 155-160:deal

    If GGG signs for 155 thats on him.

    Agreed. Just like May allowed Cotto to weigh 154 but asked Canelo to come down to 152

    If you make the 160 limit you fight for the MW, if you com in with 155, 156, 157, 158 or 159 youre under the limit.. :deal

    And we all know May is a P..ssy :good

    Course he should take it. If the offer is legit it's the biggest fight of his career at a weight he said he could make.

    The rewards far out weigh the risks.

    Golovkin would fight Ward in a HEARTBEAT if he believed it would not close doors behind him.

    When he moves to SMW, it will be after his last fight under the MW limit.

    Say GGG moves to SMW, fights and beats Ward.....

    Is he gonna get Froch? Kessler? Abraham? Not a chance in hell. He'll get Bika, Tony Dirrel, and Lefty Sanchez. High risk low reward fights.

    So, suddenly, when he's done decapitating Tony Dirrel, the NEW MW LINEAR CHAMPION, Saul Alvarez, comes out and says......GGG ran from the division because he knew I was coming for him.

    So the, by then 25 y/o Canelo has finally stopped draining and moves to his APPROPRIATE weight class. Whereas GGG has been bulking up for the Sanchez's and Bikas and Tony Dirrels.

    Now, he's FINALLY approached for a PPV fight at 160 vs Canelo. But GGG's bulked too much to make 160, and his payday is GONE.

    Thats what's going on RIGHT now.

    GGG is a MW. If he wants to fight at SMW, he'll HAVE to put on MUSCLE.

    If he puts on MUSCLE, he'll have to TAKE OFF muscle to go back to 160. And we all know how well that works. :thumbsup

    And FTR........If Ward called out GGG, rather than saying, "Im open to offers" etc etc etc....If straight up called him out, and GGG said, only if it's at 163.......

    How would GGG look making a demand like that. :huh:huh:huh

    The Geale win wasn't a surprise.Geale was dropped twice by Filo Noy Noy Gonzales.
    Geale has been fighting C class boxers like Mundine and won some belt in unspectacular manner in Europe somewhere.GGG is a whole different animal.Cotto is not a middle weight. But seems to have improved and is on form giving Floyd a fight and smashing overrated POS Martinez to bits. This has to be at a catch weight we'll see if both parties can come to an agreement. Interesting fight.

    GGG would go to 150 for COTTO. He'd go there for Mayweather or Pacqioua.

    No one has made him an offer at 155. Miquel Cotto says he don't know who he is.:nono:nono:nono

    Why doesn't Cotto who calls himself MW champion actually have a fight at MW?
