    Max sounded like a newbie fan when he said Mosley was prime in 2007.

    Gotta say - my boy Miggles actually looked better than Gaybox destroying Geale.

    Effortless defense, and his classic smooth offense.

    Not Only Will Cotto-Canelo Happen ON Whatever Date They Choose, IRREGARDLESS of what Date Floyd Wants, but Cotto-Canelo will Also OUTSELL Floyd vs Whoever, in September....

    You're an even Bigger Floyd Nuthugger than REED Thought, if you Honestly Think his September Date will Scare Cotto-Canelo OFF the Date they Want....

    The whole "I am not a MW", doesn't fly when you hold the MW title. If you don't want to fight the best MW's then vacate and move back to 154 for good. He can obviously make the weight.

    That's exactly how I see it, even as a big Cotto fan.

    Cotto is not a middleweight, that's obvious, he weighed under the Jr Middle limit, but he IS the lineal middleweight champion. That gives him an obligation to fight all comers. If he doesn't want to, just move back down to 154 officially, and fight Canelo there.

    Cotto is a disgrace. His double standards are nauseating.

    Not only that, but taking money on the false premise that you are fighting Middlweights, and then draining them down to 157, is just as vulgar and disgusting a thing as you can imagine. Basically an abuse of bargaining power that is so akin to cheating as to make no difference.

    The reason Geale shot up in weight so drastically was he has been dragged down in weight so far to begin with.

    What this did to his motor skills and punch resistance is obvious.

    Why it gets allowed is beyond me. Why it gets rewarded is beyond me.

    It's cheating and it is dangerous and it is wrong.

    Cotto said that making the catch-weight for the Pacquaio fight contributed to his losing the fight.

    What does he then do........he teams up with Freddie Roach...........and insists that guys come in at catchweights.

    Geale was fucking dead at that weight, he looked like a Ghost.......a spacey look on his face , his personality and physique seemed totally vacated.

    I don't give a fuck what Cotto weighs. He can come in at 200 for all I fucking care..........its his dragging guys DOWN to suit himself that aggravates fuck out of me.

    Then..........."The dude had 28lbs on me and I ain't even a Middleweight"...........go away and shite you little cunt.

    I've never heard Cotto say that, he seemed to make no excuses against Pacquiao.

    Pacquiao won because he's better, Cotto won because he's better - sweating off another couple of pounds made no difference in both cases.

    Geale looked like a clueless scrub, he didn't look weight drained.

    I suppose that's an argument of sorts. It doesn't address the point of course.

    Sure. Could, as a matter of interest, his eyes have been any fucking deeper in his head...:dunno:

    [​IMG][​IMG]


    Is it normal for 20+ pounds to shoot back on if the guy isn't as dry as a fucking bone in the first place....:dunno:

    If losing the weight makes no difference, then why ask him to do it....:dunno:

    Miguel Cotto is a cheat. He cheats like Margarito never did. You can get out of the way of loaded gloves, but I ain;t never seen any man duck dehydration.

    The Puerto Rican superstar is at a point in his career where it could all fall apart quickly, which is why the Cotto camp negotiated the Geale fight for a catchweight of 157 pounds. The Australian is a natural 160. He's fought much of his career at that weight. He's won a world championship at that weight. And, well, this is officially a fight for the middleweight championship of the world.


    The weight limit should be 160 pounds.


    Making a natural middleweight drop down to an unnatural 157 pounds is not only irresponsible, it's dangerous. But Geale (31-3, 16 KOs), signed the contract. At press time, it was questionable as to whether the "Real Deal" would be able to make it. Likely a recipe for 11th-hour chaos.


    Regardless, the 157 pounds will make for a drained and weak Geale, which makes for a much safer route to a Cotto-Canelo fight than would've been the case otherwise. The Australian is quick-fisted, smart and agile, despite what transpired against Gennady Golovkin. Ordinarily, Geale would give this version of Cotto fits.


    Not this time. Not under these circumstances.


    Cotto by seventh-round TKO.

    Cotto didn't cheat, he suggested a weight and Geale agreed to it - simple as that. If he didn't think he could make 157, he shouldn't have signed the contract.

    As for the weigh in - who cares? Rios and Morales for example looked drained at many a weigh in, and then looked fine come fight time.

    Geale looked the same as ever - a shuffling hoover salesman with no power - he just got outclassed by a much better fighter in Cotto.

    I agree. Maybe the Jobcenter had better offers and Geale just needs to do his research better.

    Cotto "suggested a weight".............:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    "Numeros Randomos Con Miggi"

    Fuck off..........it really is getting ridiculous.

    He knew he could "MAKE" the weight but at what cost....he knew he didn't "HAVE" to fight Cotto at 157 but you take the fucking mickey out of the guy for having a day job and then tell him to turn his nose up at whatever few quid comes along and the circumstances it comes along under :dunno: :dunno:

    You contradict yourself.

    I'll give you a chance to see if you can see it..............


    Actually, fuck it, I won't

    Being a relatively talented fighter and tight at a weight is one thing.

    Being a no-talent mark and fucking dead at the weight is another.

    This isn't fucking Rios just making 140, which is his weight division.

    It's Geale being forced outside his comfort zone, well outside it, dangerously outside it.....25lbs rehydrated outside it...........

    You think being tight at the weight and moderately talented is more of a problem than having no talent and being so dry you expand by nearly two fucking stone overnight.

    Come on.

    Again, Geale signed the contract at 157, simple as that. He got beat by a much better fighter.

    Flagrant abuse of bargaining power, used to demean and damage people.

    And if Cotto is so much fucking better.........why pre-cook the books with the weight demands.

    No contradiction - he looked fine at fight time, same as ever, he is simply not as good as Cotto.

    Pointless. Just pointless.

    I am no Geale fan and no Cotto basher and I defy people to show me proof that I am either................but this catchweight business is an abuse, is unfair, and is dangerous.

    Comments like............."HE SIGNED THE PAPERS MAN" smack of Republican mores and standards.

    Of course he signed the papers. He's a guy struggling to earn a living. Of course he signed them.

    Can everything in boxing now be explained and justified by "Leverage"......:dunno:

    Let's look at this for one moment............a man says, for example, that he deserves "70-30".....but he's only 70% of the worth of the venture with the other guys cooperation.

    If the other guy doesn't play ball at all..........then he get's 70% of nothing

    If I was GGG, I would simply not bother with Cotto and his people now.

    I'd sooner be the master of my own little domain than help a scumbag like that to earn money.

    Cotto will be demanding that the ginge come down in weight and the ginge and his people will be stupid enough to do it.

    THe guys sellout the arena at the MSG....n put in 8,000 people in the big arena...and NOW he's the next coming.......:nono:
