Comments Thread For: Geale Admits That Even Making 160 Has Been Tough

[JJRod]

Wonder what will happen if he doesn't make the weight?
Will Cotto accept the fine and go ahead with the fight, or will he call the fight off?

And in this corner, the Cottoweight Champion of his own world.....Miguel Cotto the Hoto!!!! (tumbleweeds)

And yet he agreed to fight at 157... Shut the **** up and be a professional like Cotto was. No one made Geale sign anything, he should be a man and live up to his expectations. Him and his team bringing it up is a ready made excuse, he didn't have for GGG and it was okay. Losing to Cotto though, a former JWW... no way he can lose without some excuse to save his emotions. He sounds like a lot of desperate forum posters.

Cotto only winning because of da catchweight doe.
Cotto only beat Sergio because of da knee doe.

All this complaining about how bad it is for the sport and you will all still watch.

Yes be a professional like Cotto. Make the weight then blame te loss on the weight after and start making your opponents fight you at CW. Very professional of Cotto

As much as I'm hoping Geale knocks Cotto out this weekend, I have to say, if this is the case then you're a moron Geale. If 160 was tough then you're going to be dead at 157. I hate that Cotto is forcing the catchweight but you accepted it so shut up.

Why should he shut up? Maybe cotto or others shouldnt be asking for these ridiculous demands and that way nobody complains about anything, cotto asked for the catchweight so he should expect all this talk

I hear there's no financial penalty to not making weight, but Cotto does reserve the right to cancel the fight.

Not that Roc Nation would let Cotto do that, RN has too much riding on this big show, if this fight didn't happen it would probably be a deathblow to RN.

The middleweight title should be fought at 160lbs. As others have said, I would love to see Geale raise the middle finger to Cotto and turn up at the weigh in weighing 160.

Really? No Financial penalty?
Then hell if I was Geale I wouldn't make the weight. I'd come in at 160, and dare Cotto to cancel the fight.

It's like Shaw said, catchweights muddle up the perception of boxing which already has things muddled up by multiple champions, etc.
