    He was probably woozy from being dehydrated the day before and then overhydrated which can make you equally woozy, and the massive intentional headbutt didn't help.

    Yes he does. Beggars can't be choosers and it's GGG who desperately wants the payday. He's desperate enough for a payday that he's calling out Welterweights and Light Middleweights yet his idiotic fanbase cheer on.

    I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this is some half decent trolling :yep. I particularly like the way you make no attempt to hide the contradictions.

    GGG needs to step up, but you have just said the 2 most credible opponents in his division would avoid him.:D

    Beating Geale AFTER GGG had in more rounds after draining him a further few pounds is more impressive? :D

    Implying that Sergio's knee wasn't shot to shiz and that win is anything more than just a nice name on the resume.:lol:

    Cotto should have fought Geale without a catchweight, he needlessly put a question mark over that fight because he might have won just as impressively at 160.

    Now we'll never know and everyone thinks Geale was drained.

    GGG wants the WBC belt, the belt that belongs to his weight class and not fight against Cotto or Canelo if ist not for the belt!

    Cotto should get stripped from WBC for too Long ducking GGG. GGG should not accept step aside Money, instead he should fought the next highest contender for the vacate belt.

    After GGG won this one the winner of Cotto/Canelo can firmly ask the lineal MW Champ for a fight :deal

    Why doesn't he fight somebody his own size ? S.O.G. walks around at the same weight GGG does according to Virgil....

    GGG is the mandatory challenger, he won't have to agree to catchweight and no way K2 would let that happen @155.

    They all add up eventually.

    Not many elite fighters out there to beat and whenever some of them do, the script is flipped and they were no longer elite in the first place.

    I agree Golovkin hasn't faced anyone close to being elite but all those C grade type wins do add up and now even I rank him #10 currently.

    What is Golovkin trying to prove by unifying the titles at middleweight?
    Who cares if he beats a bum like Andy Lee or a Welterweight in Cotto? If he wants to be seen as great he needs to move up because the current middleweight division is weak.

    GGG rules his division, he certainly deserves consideration.

    Cotto has a better resume than him at MW though and he's a shot midget.

    What does that say about GGG?

    Do you think Cotto beats GGG?
