    I agree and can see that same double standard at play with your post and that of the thread starter. I know you are both Puerto Rican and all that, but It's quite ludicrous to defend Cotto being unwilling to fight the best middleweight on the planet whilst holding a belt and his middleweight opponents hostage to his own demands, and yet think that Golvokin being willing to fight any middleweight out there without any "special" conditions is the same thing.

    Golovkin is prepared to make catchweights to satisfy opponents in other weight classes in addition to fighting any middleweight as a middleweight without any of the diva like demands of Cotto. You are both bending over backwards to try and make two completely different situations appear the same. It's not hate when people are surprised by Cottos bullshit, it's disappointment. De la Hoya suggested fighting GGG, not the other way round, and every man and his dog would like to fight Mayweather. If you seriously think Floyd is comparable to Geale you must both be tripping. Golvkin is struggling to get up the hill whilst Miguel is coasting down it. These are not the same thing.


    I'm not a GGG hater... not by any stretch. But GGG is constantly looking down (in weight).... not up.
    I can see where that might be brought into question.

    As far as disappointment with Cotto for holding the MW belt hostage... I can't say I'm too happy about it myself. I don't blame him for going after Martinez. Anybody in his position would've done it. He wanted the four weight divisions... it was important to him. Now that he's done with that, I'd prefer he either defend it outright or vacate it. Cotto is not a true MW... hell... he's only 5'-8", and obviously would be severely outweighed and outgunned by GGG in a true MW match. We fans should want to see competitive matches, not mismatches.

    Yes, because calling out a man who won't even say your name, defend in his division and lost wide to the man to beat makes more Cents. Brilliant.

    That said, Golovkin should not be serious about a two division gap and steer away from being somewhat desperate. Just keep beating people up

    I dont get this hate. 1 GGG didnt call out DLH. He said hes happy to fight DLH and why not it would be a career high payday in an easy win. I dont get the problem with him wanting a fight with Mayweather either. If he did fight Mayweather its pretty close to a 50/50 fight. I wish more boxers would try get involved in 50/50 fights. Sick of seeing shite fights where you already know whos going to win. Look at Ward Smith at the weekend.
