I can only see GGG-Cotto happening under one condition: Golovkin makes 155lbs

There is a reason we have divisions in boxing. If a fighter is not able to make the weight for a particular division, he should be fighting in another one. It does not take a genius to figure out. These bullshit games of draining a fighter down to gain an unfair advantage have to be stopped. It is just one of many things that prevent boxing from being taken seriously as a sport and which relegate it to fringe status.

GGG won't be drained at 155. He is not a big middleweight and he said he can make 154 for Mayweather. A !55 weight limit wouldn't save Cotto. A 143 pound Pacquiao had no trouble knocking Cotto out. GGG would squash him like a bug. When Canelo gets through knocking Cotto out nobody will care much about Cotto anymore. The group that made a 50million three fight deal with Cotto will be feeling ****** unless they make all their money back on the Cotto-Canelo fight. That will be Cotto's last fight as a big star and cash cow in my opinion. In fact I think Canelo will retire him.

Do you even give a damn about the sport you follow?

This catchweight nonsense is getting out of hand. Historically, catchweights were occasionally used to facilitate 2 fighters from different divisions meeting in a big fight. One guy goes up a little, one guy comes down a little, and it was relatively fair to both sides. What this clown Cotto is doing is using financial leverage to force a challenger IN THE SAME DIVISION to come in 3lbs under the limit for no purpose other than to physically weaken the opponent. Its lame, and Cotto loses all respect for being such a b*tch.
Its like tripping a ******ed kid. Sure, you got over, but so what?

NSB be like...
Mayweather/GGG @ 154 is a good fight
Cotto/GGG @ 155 is draining GGG therefore Cotto is a puzzy.
You guys should be happy that Cotto will give GGG a chance to "legitimize" his "reign" off the back of a washed up former Jr. WW.
