3. Legitimate Middleweight
While Geale may not be the marquee opponent Cotto is accustomed to, he’s no slouch. He is a former two-time middleweight champ who has been in the ring with the likes of Gennady Golovkin, so he knows what its like to get hit. More importantly, Cotto has only fought once as a middleweight, and many believe Martinez bum knee played a factor in the Cotto victory. Although the fight is at a catch weight, it will be interesting to see how Cotto fares in his second middleweight outing.
