Why does Geale gets a shot at Cotto's lineal title?

Originally posted by ***1048;ATAS View PostIt's not so much that he got a shot, more so that Cotto has a voluntary and he's choosing a middleweight he believes he can beat. His middleweight title is important to him because it's leverage when potentially negotiating with Canelo or Floyd. That's why he doesn't simply drop it and go back down to 154 - he owns what many people want, and because of that Cotto has an upper hand when it comes to the negotiating table.
The whole Cotto vs Canelo/Floyd will be quite interesting because GGG is mandatory. Will he accept step aside money? Will he enforce his mandatory position and if so, will the WBC stick to their word and force/strip Cotto if he refuses? Will Cotto lose his leverage without the WBC belt or will his Ring (lineal) title be just the same?

If Cotto beats Geale, the excuses are over. Time to fight GGG.
You can't pretend to be too small for MW after successfully defending your "lineal" title against a genuine MW.

- easy to beat
- cheap
- no negotitiation leverage
- light puncher
- genuine MW (for Cotto's credibility.)
- will fight in the middle of a Puerto Rican **** pit. (MSN in June.)
Did I miss anything? And he is willing to drain down to 157 for the exposure and $. Most MWs probably told Cotto to f@ck off.
