Okay is official: Miguel Cotto's next opponent will be Daniel Geale on June 06 in a non-ppv bout that will be televised by HBO. http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/report-cotto-vs-geale-at-barclays-286472
Meh, at least it's against a middleweight. Maybe they want to put him against a common opponent to gauge how he might fair against Golovkin.
Yup....it's a stupid fight...you have Khan, Bradley, a bunch of other better named welter and jr middleweight why fight a complete nobody at 160...?? I mean it's not like his a young fighter.....now it's time to pick your opponent carefullyu..eCHRRY pikck motherrucker CHERRY pick!!
Should but can't. The bigger draw makes the demands and if the opponent doesn't like it the fight is off.
:: Look for the Mayweather Jr rematch at 154 in September edit: or maybe they'll make it a 155 lb catchweight so they can claim it's for the "MW title"
See Cotto n team are not thinking...if Floyd demolish or dominates or just convincingly beats Pacquiao...a rematch would NOT be necessary....Mayweather might want a retirement fight vs. Cotto for the MIddleweight championship of the world.... but Cotto is once again risking a big money fight...by fighitng some dude who nobody cares or knows aobut like his fight vs. TROUT...
Bradley...Khan....a ton of other easy winnable somewhat meaningful fights between 147-154 n he going to fight this motherfucker!!..:FU!: What happen to just big money fight Cotto....? THis sucks...I rather he rematch Malignaggi or Gomez than fight this fucker...plus it's taking place in Brooklyn...he can REMATCH fucking JUDAH and it will sell...he can fucking shadow box and it will SELL!!
Geale is the same guy who Golovkin hammered in 3 rounds & he lost to some other bum a while back as well. Don't think he's a real risk.
Geale couldn't even beat Baker Barker :: Cotto will beat him easily, size difference or not. Also, Geale is Australian, so for that reason alone you know he has no chance at all of beating Cotto.
