lol...WTF? GGG/Rubio... a unification?

Saw on twitter that it's being talked about as a unification. Was directed to ESPN Deportes, got these two articles. http://www.espndeportes.com/news/story/_/id/2155869/rubio-seria-rival-de-golovkin http://www.espndeportes.com/news/story/_/id/2156081/celebra-rubio-pelea-con-ggg One says they're discussing (WBC/WBA) it being a unification and the other said Rubio is glad it's a unification. I used google translate, but that's what i was told too. So if this is true, looks like there are upgrades to be held in the WBC.... fucking great. I guess that's how you get a monkey off your back

golovkin will f#cking destroy alvarez. GBP will never take that fight. it has zero chance of happening. canelo is 23, and has a world of earning potential. he may become the biggest draw in boxing after floyd and manny retire. a fight with golovkin puts all of that at risk. Absolutely right. Canelo's people rolled the dice with Mayweather because the money was too good to turn down. They saw that their guy definitely has a ceiling on his skills. There is no reason to take that risky of a fight for a fraction of what Canelo made against Floyd.

It's like GGG is an exciting version of Rigo. Crazy talent but nobody will fight him because the money isn't worth the risk.

Well, I think it's possible. Canelo seems to have really taken his career in his hands by demanding trout and Lara when everybody said he didn't want any

That's true. That fight would be a classic. I don't think the losers stock would even go down. golovkin will f#cking destroy alvarez.

I think there's a better chance Alvarez fights Golovkin than any beltholder in the division right now. So I'll definitely root for him when he gets his Cotto shot. Ithink that's the only way it happens

Interesting. Then what if Canelo wins? Or is that fight not going to be for the MW title? I think there's a better chance Alvarez fights Golovkin than any beltholder in the division right now. So I'll definitely root for him when he gets his Cotto shot.

who cares? cotto is the champion off of his victory over martinez. martinez beat pavlik, who beat taylor, who beat poopkins. poopkins was champion for 400 years. golovkin is the best MW on the planet, but we can't call him a champion until baby nuts cotto gets in the ring and takes his knockout loss like a man.

Cotto is babysitting until May of next year and this unification will happen after his Canelo fight only if Rubio vs GGG is signed off. GGG still hasn't signed his part of the contract. Interesting. Then what if Canelo wins? Or is that fight not going to be for the MW title?

Good. If Cotto won't fight the top middleweight contenders then we need a separate belt for the guys who want to fight each other. I support this. I'm tired of these divas babysitting titles and blocking other guys from building their legacy.

I ****n love it...GGG is just gna collect as many belts as he can so noone can hide from him...great move...make the duckers come out of hiding...he may even become Cottos mando...GGG is making a statement here that come fight me or i will come get u one way or another...and the way he is gna do it is by getn as many belts as he can interim or main belt... Or, look like a little ***** when I'm your mandatory, and you act like that belt don't mean a thing.

Rubio is tough, wouldn't be surprised if he gives Glovokin trouble.

Hella confused bro. So does this mean GGG could win the WBC interim belt and become mandatory to Cotto? I mean Thats the entire purpose of an interim belt.... If so...... I'll take it. But titlists cannot be mandatory opponents for other titlist. Unless they changed the rules..... an hour ago?

It doesn't make sense to me... because it shouldn't be possible. I know you can unify interim belts, don't know about a non-interim and an interim. If that is the case, screw that...that's hella stupid. What could be happening, i'm saying could, is they're upgrading Rubio to the full title holder and making some emeritus title for Cotto to stop Rubio from pestering for that mando shot.

Rubio... YAAAWWWWNNNN. How many of the solid fighters do we have to humiliate and kill to get Ward / Cotto / Martinez / Mayweather in the ring?? Golovkin stops him in 2-3 rounds. There, unification accomplished. These ****ing cowards make me sick.
