    It wont be Golovkin who will say "Lets fight for your WBC 160Belt at a catchweight of around 155 Pounds" to Cotto, so why are you asking:

    How do you feel about MIDDLEWEIGHTS who adamentaly wants a fight with small Welterweights??

    Better ask yourself the following question:

    How do you feel about Welterweights that capture a 160 belt and hold it hostage by defending at 157 and maybe lower in the future and make the opponents weight drained??

    If you are a 160 Champ defend your belt at 160

    If you are a 168 Champ defend your belt at 168

    so on . . . .

    So Cotto being a diva excuses Golovkin calling out Mayweather?

    Don't feel GGG calls Mayweather out.. sorry..

    Who wants to fight someone who runs for 12 rounds like the roadrunner :bolt

    Why do People always bring an exciting boxer like Golovkin in contact with the TWO most boring Boxers ever (Mayweather and Ward)?

    How did Ward and Froch duck Golovkin? Ward was never given a serious offer and Froch is most likely retiring.

    Calling himself TBE doesn't mean he needs to fight guys a lot larger than him, that makes zero sense. People use that as an excuse to hold him to higher standards. Mayweather vs Golovkin is not entirely a fantasy match up but nothing requires they fight. And we don't even know if Golovkin can comfortably make weight, if he can I'm all for it.

    If GGG fought mayweather at 154 GGG would lose. There's really no reason for Floyd to fight GGG. It's clear that people who hate mayweather will always hate mayweather. He gets GGG in the ring at 154 and treats him exactly like he did Alvarez and ppl will say he ran..he wouldn't exchange etc etc. Floyd is Nearly 40..Scalp Khan and call it a career.

    Exactly, he'd get zero credit. In fact, there'd be excuses as soon as the fights official.

    Tell Gennady to fight a top level opponent first before asking for a bout against the biggest draw in the sport.

    He doesn't deserve it.

    And before you rattle off Ortiz or Guererro, remember that they are actually in his division.

    Not a smal WW? Really? Is that why he weighed in at 148 on fight night against Maidana? For comparison, Lightweight champ omar figueroa weighs in at 150 on fight night. Jorge Linares weighs in at 145. So here you have guys 2 divisions lower who weigh the same or more than Floyd.

    I don't consider it to be a "call out" when a reporter asks GGG if he would beat Mayweather for him to say he thinks he would. He should think that, he's a fighter. And I don't consider it to be a "call out" when a reporter asks GGG if he'd like to fight Mayweather and he says yes. That's essentially asking him if he would like to make more money than he has in his entire career in one night and against a smaller man.

    Well those 2 had a combined 3 fights in Floyd's division before they fought Floyd. So if GGG has 1 fight at 154 where Floyd is champ like Ortiz has 1 fight at 147 then that would be enough?

    is the supposed small welterweight holding a title hostage that the middleweight in question is the mandatory challenger for?

    Ward hasn't weighed less than 185 lbs on fight night since 2011.

    Yet sooooooooo many of GGGs haterz don't want him to fight a 164 lb Cotto when GGG is 169-171 on fight night.


    Salido was a WW when he fouled his way to victory over an amateurish 131lb Lomachenko.

    Where was the disgust from the EE HATERZ THEN.

    CUZ THATS ALL YOU DKSABS R....EE HATERZ.

    If GGG were going to fight PBF or Cotto it would be at 153 or 155.

    If Ward wanted GGG should Ward come down to 164????

    :deal
    Yep!
    GGG is drained
    PBF ran
    GGG was not allowed to use his gloves
    GGG was forced to fight in a 25 foot ring
    GGG was injured going into the fight
    GGG was forced to fight in Vegas
    Who has GGG ever beat and was never any good anyway
    PBF is ducking Cotto to fight GGG
