The Cold War is still going on. If it wasn't Pacquiao would be fighting Guerrero and Garcia would be fighting someone with a pulse. I remember when Everyone was clamoring for Mares vs Donaire and I knew that we were gonna get Rigondeaux vs Donaire because it was easier to make. GGG vs Cotto is easier to make because Golden Boy is not involved and it is HBO, Top Rank, and K2 which works more with HBO.
BrushMyHair, don't even try to talk sense into these guys. They thought the "Cold War" would be over when Richard left, and even went as far as to say that Floyd would leave GBP because he was "running scared" from pacquiao. We already know how that went.
This "cold ward" is not going to end until Bob Arum realizes that he NEEDS Golden Boy Promotions and Al Haymon to survive. You can only recycle the same C level fighters for so long.
I feel ya, they need to recognize what I am saying. If I don't try, then who will.

I make the threads. They comment. I speak the truth to them, they just think I am bashing Cotto too much. People do need to realize the Cold war is not over. If it were Pacquiao would not be fighting Algieri, And Danny Garcia would not be fighting Rob Salsa. Danny should have got the Mayweather fight, but I guess he decided to reject it. Now we got Mayweather vs Maidana 2.
Do I bash Cotto, Yes, but I am being real, I don't think he sucks, well I kinda do, I just think he needs to retire. I believe if he stays any longer he could end up like James Toney. Canelo would beat him up but not enough for him to retire, GGG could do the trick.

Hopkins vs. Kovalev just opened the door for everyone working together at HBO. Now Hopkins is technically a free-agent but he had Golden Boy Promotions negotiate on his behalf and worked with Main Events Promotions. Now Golden Boy & Top Rank working together on a Cotto vs. Canelo fight is quite an easy task for them if they can get the money right for both.
Now I think Golden Boy's time with Showtime will soon be up by the end of the year, and Showtime will probably only work with Al Haymon's stable of fighters, it seems that Haymon is slowly moving his fighters over to Goossen Promotions which may be part of the reason Andre Ward is trying to get away from Goossen since Andre is also with Antonio Leonard in a co-promotion deal.
The only person that doesn't want it is Arum. If Cotto is a free agent, he must go over to showtime and GBP. That is the only way the fight gets made.
I don't see why Arum wouldn't want it. His company either gets left out as Cotto, like you said, goes on to work with GB as a free agent or Arum helps co-promote and TR is part of this huge fight.
Canelo vs Cotto is the pressure being put on Mayweather to fight Pacquiao. If Mayweather doesn't fight him, then this will take peoples attention away from that.
Exactly. This fight will happen, both guys seem to want it.

Levi Martinez, is that you, LOL
LOL nah but I really had no problem with his card, I had it 116-112 and a lot of rds were close so I could see that. The real travesty would have been if they gave that fight to Lara the track star...he'll probably win the gold medal in the 4 x 400m relays lol
I actually watched the fight 3 times once on showtime, once on mute, and once on the uk broadcast. I had it 8 to 4 Canelo twice and 8 to 3 with one rd even for Canelo once. Lara just wasn't throwing enough punches and was retreating the whole fight, Canelo was the aggressor who landed the harder shots and was coming forward. In a fight with not much action most Judges will score it for the aggressor.

But Canelo did not do enough to win the rounds. Watch the fight on silent or watch it in a loud place where you can't hear anything. I scored it 9-3 for Lara on Silent, When rewatching, I scored it 8-4 for Lara. So Lara loses rounds for hitting and not getting hit, That makes no sense. This is boxing, not brawling. We like brawls, but if a fighter wants to box, then he can box. As for GGG, He would like to step it up, but those higher level fighters Are Ducking Him. What Choice does GGG Have.

Cotto is not signed with Top Rank nor committed to HBO
I would still rather see GGG take his soul at madison square garden in front of his arrogant fans. It would look like this, Brazil vs Germany

Nah man I gotta disagree, Lara ran the whole night and did not stand and engage enough, he was his own worst enemy. Its one thing to stick n move or to box and engage, but what Lara did was disgraceful he retreated the WHOLE fight and he will never get another ppv fight because of it. GGG needs to step up his level of opposition, Canelo has more impressive names under his belt. I do agree with you though regarding Canelo vs Cotto, I think Canelo stops him.

Lara got Robbed. Canelo did not earn a shot at the Middleweight champion. GGG did, GGG has the champs running from him, it is not his fault. GGG should get the fight. Then Canelo's hypejob ass can meet his doom vs Golovkin. Golovkin paints canelo's face the color of his hair. If Canelo vs Cotto does happen. Canelo wins by KO RD 1 because Canelo wins the same way Lara beat Angulo by, A punch to the eye.

God bless your soul Brush..
Lara Got Robbed. Canelo doesn't Deserve a Cotto fight, and Cotto doesn't deserve a Canelo fight for fighting a shot Sergio Martinez. Cotto and Canelo both deserve Ass whoopins by GGG.
Dodgers Suck. LOL for losing to the Cubs.

If there wasn't bad blood between the promoters, the fight would have been made.
