    Cottos promoter said they would be interested but not for May in the future sometime.

    I reckon you might get goods odds on GGG, a good bit closer than Murray. Cotto name and stature might make him a close enough underdog, good money to be made if thats the case.

    What do you think

    I'm sure many thought this in the Martinez fight as well :lol:

    Then they got all butt-hurt when Cotto mopped the floor with Martinez.

    Do you think he'd have a chance against Golovkin, Im not even that high on GGG but he would hammer Cotto, Id put more than I can afford on a GGG knockout

    I do think he has a chance

    But I would still favor Golovkin

    I can't see the odds being terribly good. There's a lot of chatter from casual fans of Cotto who think he will school/knock out Golovkin though. They might part with their cash.
    I think it's a horrible style matchup for Cotto, and give him in the region of zero chance.

    Yeah but because of his name and the build up as a lineal fight or whatever they might give something like 1/5 on a GGG knockout which would be great.

    Martinez was coming off a fight most felt he lost vs. Murray. Golovkin just destroyed him.

    Cotto vs. Martinez was seen as a 50/50 fight by many.

    Let's not re-write history.

    Maybe slightly better odds than the Murray fight but the bookies aren't daft.

    In the same way that there is a chance a paraglider could land in the ring while they are fighting, yeah theres a chance.

    na

    A chance because Cotto has a great jab and is much more skilled than any of Golovkins previous opponents

    Somehow I don't you'll be laughing when Cotto is in Coma, GGG is seriously bad for the health of Super Middleweights, what happens to a blown up Light Welterweight.

    even if he gets knocked out, it'll be pretty quick I'm thinking

    He won't be able to take a sustained beating from Golovkin

    So he won't take even as much punishment as he did in the Margarito or Pacquiao fights

    I hope GGG pulls his punches and drags out the torture. As slow and painful as he can make it, and when Cotto takes a knee, take it easy on Kneeguel so the ref doesn't stop it, and then drop him again.
