Miguel Cotto will face Daniel Geale at 157

[Primo Carnera]

Cotto has history of this kind of thing so it's not so surprising. For every Pacquiao, there is a Yuri Foreman, for every Mayweather, there is a Delvin Rodriguez or an Alfonso Gomez or an Oktay Urkal or a Michael Jennings. They're not terrible fighters but they're not competitive matches. After the Martinez performance I was hoping he'd take that momentum I into a tougher fight. Certain other fighters have been getting absolute pelters for taking on weaker opposition. 😄

Nobody called Geale weaker comp when GGG fought him.

Most of Cotto's fights are at 140 and 147.
He has fought tough comp his entire career..and has paid his dues as an established warrior.

Cotto is not a MW and is about to retire...let the guy build a nest egg before he says goodbye.

If anybody should be looking for tougher comp it's everybody's darling Golovkin.

Nobody seriously thought Geale was a test for Golovkin did they? I agree Golovkin has spent the last 2 years basically fighting guys at a very similar level - Geale, Macklin, Murray etc. He needs to step up now and prove he can be as devastating at the very top level.

As for Cotto, he has more than paid his dues, but as a fan you want to see competitive fights. This fight shouldn't be competitive. I was merely pointing out that Cotto has disappointed in the past with his choice of opponent at certain times (Urkal, Jennings, Gomez), and for me, this is another fight that isn't really interesting - to me at least. It's a foregone conclusion.

Cotto vs GGG is not competitive.

Urkal, Jennings, Gomez
Came off loses...those guys are on the same level as the guys GGG gets credit for beating up.

Right , so the "lineal champ" v GGG is not competitive. Who gets the blame in your eyes? GGG . how come? He's just trying to make a living. So yet again, I ask you, who should GGG fight? Your answers in the best have been pathetic .
Ward - says he wants it, but guess what ? He's got a date in June and they've been looking at a "less challenging opponent" despite Ward calling out GGG in his 3 years out of the ring or whatever it is .
Froch - don't want it. Only wants Chavez.
Dirrell's - both got fights lined up.
Abraham - scheduled to fight Sturm
Degale - fighting Dirrell
Groves - mandatory to fight the other Dirrell.
That is the top 7 fighters in the division above. WHO THE FUCK SHOULD HE FIGHT??
Until someone fronts up to him, you're gonna have to keep listening to people praising him, and if you haven't got a solution (which you clearly haven't.) , tough shit pal!
