If anything..Cotto will apparently always speak better English than Golovkin
I don't think Ward is active enough to be part of the conversation. Cotto has no interest in a challenge anymore, so maybe Canelo is the only one who would have the guts and preparedness to give GGG a fight. I don't know. SMW can wait, but just get some names on the resume. It is a very busy resume, but a bit hollow for a 33 year old. Monroe fought well, but who is he? :-\

Also interesting is that he has already been contacted to step aside to allow Alvarez/Cotto. If I were him given his age and struggle to get noticed I would not step aside. Not even for 7 figures and a right to immediately fight the winner.
Andre Ward was booed heartily when his name was mentioned.
A Kazakh who has only been fighting in the US for like two and a half years or something is not only selling more tickets than Ward in his home country, but he's doing it in Ward's home state and the locals are booing Ward.

That short left uppercut was GGGs money punch tonight.Quote:

Monroe made a very early decision for survivals sake, he sat in and tried to punch him off. He accepted there to knock him out or vice versa I believe. Prob one of the most effective inside rounds Golo has faced in 4th.

You'd think so, but NO comparison.<br />

As opposed to Canelo, Chocolatito was venturing outside Nicaragua, fighting in Japan by his 15th fight. He's been brought along normally,
increasing his level of opposition
along the way, the way it's <b><i>supposed</i></b> to be done.

After this long and you're still a hater
Consistency.
Hey... it's only reserved for two fighters.
No hate for any others.

And if they don't abide by the contract then they get the belt taken off them. But whoever wins will just vacate the belt anyway and go back to 154.Quote:

I forget who it was exactly but this same thing happened a few years ago.
