Comments Thread For: Cotto-Geale To Have Catch-Weight of 157, Says Source

[Barcham]

Cotto is scared of GGG and Canelo because he knows either one will Knock him the F out. He will do anything to hold on to that belt as long as he can. The WBC should not strip him, they should slap him with a mandatory defence against GGG . When that happens he will vacate like the little Diva he is. He should be ashamed of himself. Coward!!!

WBC have already made GGG his mandatory defense and the winner of the Cotto - Geale fight will have to defend against GGG next.

Canelo fans be like "Cotto is the catchweight king". Canelo's last 2 fights: catchweights. Canelo's next fight: catchweight. O the irony.

Canelo does not have a title to defend, much less a lineal title.

after watching quillen fight i think it is a very winnable fight for cotto. he can be the no.2 guy at 160 dont need catchweights. should stay away from ggg though

would prefer there be no cw.. but 157 is within the middleweight limit. fair game, play ball. geale's a proven professional boxer, he should have no problem making the cw

Its funny seeing all the cotto stans give cotto the green light for all the CWs but when pac did it to cotto they were crying like little b*tches.

I said I'd be ok with Cotto fighting ANY middle weight but not at 157...

Man I die a little inside when there are title fights at CW. I felt ashamed when Floyd fought Canelo at 152 and that farce 9th title Manny got. It's like divisions don't even matter anymore. I know catch weights have been around for a long time but they've never been ok to me. There's no way to defend a champion forcing the challenger to meet at a lower weight than the already established limit.

It doesn't take much effort to "boycott' Cotto. More like not bothering to tune in because all his fights are rigged exhibition matches until he earns another Floyd/Manny payday.

He has cemented his status as the biggest cherrypicker in boxing. Boxrec makes my argument for me. Look at where his opponents were when he beat them. All the decent ones handed his ass to him on a platter since 2007. The rest were disabled, retiring, shot, or nobodies.

He is an cardboard cutout held up by his management, to give a hero to a boxing demographic going through a dryspell. It's blatant. Trout exposed the real Cotto.

REAL TALK COTTO IS THE BIGGEST JOKE IN BOXING. Ever since margarito whooped him there is nothing you can ever say good about cotto unless you are delusional. Dude is bad for the sport

someone is proud of plasterito.

Miguel Cotto is such a coward!!!!!

*here they come lol*

yea such a coward he needs plasters and peds to win.

[bigjavi973]

Let's follow the pattern and you shall get your answer. Martinez 159, Geale 157. So the next weight should be 154 which Canelo struggles to make so it's perfect to handicap him Too.

The only time a catch weight might be OK in a title fight, is if the champion is coming down in weight to accommodate a fighter moving up from a lower weight class. The catch weight is never OK if it is demanded by the champion as a condition for the fight. It should never be to the champion's benefit.
