WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32KOs) is not concerned with any weight related complaints that are coming from his opponents.

This Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Cotto will make the first defense of his world title against former champion Daniel Geale (31-3, 16KOs).

Last June, Cotto challenged Sergio Martinez for the WBC title with a catch-weight of 159-pounds in place. For the fight with Geale, a catch-weight of 157-pounds was demanded and set in motion.

Cotto was asked about the scenario of a potential opponent, like WBA/IBO champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin or otherwise, rejecting a catch-weight request.


"I had to do [a catch-weight] at this particular time and anyone who wants to fight me must accept a catch-weight or otherwise there is no fight," Cotto said.


Geale did not agree with Cotto's catch-weight demand, but he was forced to accept it or there wouldn't have been a fight.


“I have to be honest—if it’s not a title fight, then a catchweight is not a problem. But if you’re fighting for a middleweight title, then weight limit is 160 for that fight,” Geale said. “I find it funny. It should be at 160 but I’m not going to complain.”

This is hilarious

I always get hate when I say this, but I have no problem with this. The champ/or draw always will try to get every advantage in their favor. That's the game. Beat him & take his spot.

It doesn't matter

As long as the champ/draw can get a catch weight in their favor, they are gonna do it.

It isn't fair, but nothing in life is.

Yall want everything to be fair, but it doesn't work that way. Cotto has paid his dues by giving into demands. He feels it's his turn. If you fight him, he's choosing the weight, ringsize, gloves, etc.
