So, Miguel Cotto fought Daniel Geale and destroyed him by thoroughly out-boxing, out-classing, and KO'ing him. I go to http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/391273-miguel-cotto-continues-to-roll-but-weekend-review and read this in the "Weekend Review" by Michael Rosenthal:


BIGGEST WINNER

Miguel Cotto: Cotto deserves credit. The RING and WBC middleweight champ dismantled a competent opponent in Daniel Geale on Saturday night in Brooklyn, scoring a brutal fourth-round knockout. And the gratitude he has for trainer Freddie Roach for pumping life into his career is endearing. Great fighter, good guy. That’s about as excited as I can get about Cotto-Geale, though. Everyone is entitled to gimme fights, as this one was for Cotto, but it was impossible to summon enthusiasm for the fight because of Geale’s limitations. Is that what Cotto wants at this stage of his career? Apathetic fans? And the fact it was a title defense in spite of a 157-pound catch weight – three below the normal limit – was wrong, in my opinion. The standards were changed to cater to Cotto, who received an advantage but also damaged his credibility to some degree. And, finally, I still think Cotto is more illusion than reality when you consider his last three victims: Delvin Rodriguez, a crippled Sergio Martinez and Geale. I believe a giant step up to Gennady Golovkin or even Canelo Alvarez would expose an aging champion who remains an excellent fighter but is too small and not quite good enough at this point to beat the very best middleweights. I’ll give him this, though: It definitely will be interesting to see what happens going forward.

So, being the person I am....I look up what was this same author's opinion about GGG vs Geale http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/349573-gennady-golovkin-wows-us-again-weekend-review#/slide/1




BIGGEST WINNER

Gennady Golovkin:The sheer power is what stands out. Golovkin didn’t look particularly special for two-plus rounds against Daniel Geale on Saturday in New York City, although he is menacing at all times because of his ability and reputation. And he did put Geale down with a glancing blow in the second round. But it wasn’t until late in Round 3 that Golovkin took our collective breath away once again. The WBA middleweight champ countered a solid right from Geale by landing a short right of his own to the chin that put Geale down and that was that. The game but overmatched Aussie couldn’t continue, becoming GGG’s 17th consecutive knockout victim dating back to 2008. Golovkin’s punch didn’t appear to be particularly hard in part because he didn’t have his full weight behind it. Still, it rendered Geale helpless. That’s Thomas Hearns- or Mike Tyson-like power, the kind that plays games with the psyches of opponents, ends fights in an instant and thrills the fans. I’m not sure Geale (30-3, 16 knockouts) is much better than some of the others Golovkin (30-0, 27 KOs) has faced but he’s a solid, world-class fighter who had no hope of winning, which is further evidence of the Kazakhstani’s unusual ability. It’s time he find a way to lure more-formidable opponents into the ring, middleweights such as Miguel Cotto or Peter Quillin or super middleweights such as Andrew Ward, Carl Froch or Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Not that it would make much of a difference, though. Aside from the Ward matchup, which might not end well for Golovkin, these fights could end up looking a lot like the one on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.

Media is cool with GGG saying he will fight Ward in 2025 but Cotto and Canelo need to give them their next 3 planned fights and GGG has to be involved. :camby:

I've asked this before, and I'll ask this again...

Why do people get so mad at the push GGG has gotten from the media (HBO)? That's their fighter. They've handpicked him. Is that any different than what anybody else on this board does?

I (and many others) have been hyping up Keith Thurman for the longest time. Even though he hasn't proven much. shyt, I started hyping up Felix Verdejo a year and a half ago, and he's just getting his 1st showcase fight on Saturday. Plenty of us been hyping up fighters that are still climbing their way up and are still very much unproven. But when HBO does it for GGG, nikkas all up in arms about it.

I'm starting to think some of you nikkas are just salty because HBO isn't hyping up any of the fighters YOU like the most, and would rather give GGG that push. Otherwise, why else would you give a shyt :usure:

Just saying :yeshrug:

Breh I was in that very thread hoping Gaele won for the fukkery, that was a very good W for Cotto nikka weighed 153 without losing water against a nikka who was damn near a cruiserweight.

Yep. I thought about picking Geale, because I thought the size disparity effect Cotto in a negative wat. Instead he destroyed him and looked excellent in the process.

I gave GGG props for the victory over Geale, why not Cotto as well who looked just as dominant

I have no problem with GGG's hype from his fans, as I also feel he's the best middleweight period. I just don't like the double standards THE MEDIA is using right now and some of his fans when it comes to similar opponents.

GGG destroyed Geale and so did Cotto. Geale is not a bum fighter, so if we heap praise on GGG for looking impressive, we shouldn't downplay Cotto's impressive victory...and as you can see in the OP, that's what was done.

That type of stuff isn't fair.

But yeah, I agree with the hype...I'm hyping Lubin and my nikka only got 10 fights:dead:
