    He destroys Cotto, Cotto has a name, try to make it. Like trying to make a fight with retired Froch or crap Chavez or or or. GGGs has consistently searched out the highest easiest payday. I for one have accepted this and no longer hold out any hope the guy will make the right fights.

    Do you GGG, soft seats until you die.
    GGG has beaten the best middleweights out there one after the other to unify the belts. This was even before the other champs like Strum avoided him when he was a challenger. What more can he do?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    None, they're all bums but Lara, Trout, Angullo and Kirkland were the best at 154.

    Lara is the only one that is a top level fighter. To be fair Trout was when Canelo fought him though. I must admit that. Angulo was used up and Kirkland was never what people thought. I was embarrassed for Canelo when he made the Kirkland fight. I understand it, bring this big guy in to look tough until he gets KOed. But doesn't change the fact Kirkland is brought in to be KOed.

    Kirkland was 32-1 with 28 KO's, He'd won five in a row (four by knockout) against Molina, Angulo and Tapia (who was 20-0) and that's embarrassing? Hate to know what you thought of GGG fighting Macklin, Wade, Monroe and all the other bums he fought in his title defences.

    Cotto and Golovkin is decent fight to make. Golovkin would start a clear favourite but he is in decline which would make it interesting to watch. The longer it goes the more you expect the bigger man to wear Cotto down. The Puerto Rican is unlikely to be able to absorb the amount of punishment a prime Canelo did but he does have the experience and moves to make it a good fight.

    Triple G will do what we expect him to, come forward relentlessly, cutting off corners and taking any punches that are thrown back at him in defiance. Cotto will use angles and movement to get through the early rounds but ultimately I see it ending the same way as the 1
    st Margarito fight for Cotto.

    I was a huge Golovkin supporter 6/7 years ago. But watching his opponents is what turned me away. Watching people excuse his opponents really.

    I mean right now we have Jacobs available, wanting the fight. And we have GGG instead looking at yet another former WW to move up. And people feel comfortable talking about GGG was avoided, that's why he didn't fight good fighters. Ummm, what about the avoiding he does?!

    Literally in a thread where we are discussing GGG looking soft rather than taking the hard available fights people are blaming the hard fight guy that wants the fight, madness.
