Gennady Golovkin vs. Miguel Cotto: who would win?

[mikeeod]

My money is on GGG. I would feel comfortable betting about 3 grand for him to win by late stoppage, assuming I could get pick em or better odds. Can't see Cotto lasting under the pressure n with GGG's punch.

That being said, if Cotto could use the jab effectively n smart movement he could score the upset. Even though he hurt Sergio, I don't think Cotto will have the strength and power to have serious effects on big, strong middleweights like GGG. He should either rematch Floyd for the belt or drop it and go back down. Nothing good for him staying at 160.

Has Golovkin fought anyone as dangerous and genuine world class as Cotto yet?

I didnt take a great deal of notice before last nights fight but I'm betting Cotto was considered to be getting a battering from the bigger stronger Martinez?

GGG. though not easily.

Golovkin. Styles and just a bit of fans taking a deep breath. Great win last night, but absolutely different style and approach. Golovkin does a better Cotto than Cotto does. Foundation and hooks, stubby educated jab and body shots.

Again, against who?

Cotto has been succeeding against multiple world champions in multiple weights. He's proven.

Oh no, Cotto has definitely run at a higher level longer. I've scrutinized him and he needs to be. For me its just comes down to style and think he would be able to implement them on Cotto. Cotto was still catching jabs from Martinez and flat footed today. Bad combination with a fresher, harder hitting Golovkin I think. Whatever purpose the Geale fight serves, if anything it should see him against one of the better movers he has faced. He's going to have to shuffle his feet faster to track him down and might be interesting.

I'd rather tell people I got caught with jabs from Sergio than Adama...he had GG's head flying back like a PEZ dispensor.

Slow as Adama is,he was able to set-up GG and walk him into CLEAN right hands.

Adama couldn't hit Cotto with rice at a wedding.

Who has Cotto beat? Apart from an old Martinez, which really means shit? He lost to Trout, Mayweather and Pac Man. His best win is again Mosely and thats back in 2007. Since that he aint done anything big. Yes hes beaten good fighters but he loses when he steps up. Nothing he has done suggests he will beat Golovkin. Smaller men arent gonna cause GGG any problems particularly with his style. But dont worry its another fighter who will avoid GGG.

That's really extreme, understand the contrary side of it but there's no way GGG has proven himself the way Cotto has just yet, come on. I totally agree that would be an insane fight for Cotto to take, or that Golovkin would have beaten the crap out of Martinez for probably the last few years as well, but give some credit. Miguel has been a joy to watch forever, and he has a bunch of great wins and performances. All of his losses barring Trout are still a credit to him really, Golovkin just hasn't mixed it on that level yet and probably never will. He'd have to fight Ward to take anywhere near the equivalent risk of fighting Floyd and Manny in their primes! Cotto is a quadruple OG without question.
