Cotto (and whoever beats him) Will hold the Middleweight Division hostage

[MarcoHooker]

Cotto isn't a Middleweight, he shouldn't have won the title at this point any of the other champs could''ve dethroned him

but now that Cotto has his gimey hands on the Lineal title he's going to hold it hostage, he's going to fight guys like Canelo and when Canelo beats him he's going to fight other 154lbs fighters coming up

Leaving the real Middleweights out in the cold and forcing them to move up to 168

Which was my biggest fear.

There is one scenario though that could happen.

If Canelo beats Lara, it's quite possible he'll fight Cotto. Obviously would be a super fight. If Canelo wins, I think he officially stays at 160. I don't think he'd shy away from Golovkin, as Canelo has shown us recently he is willing to fight the best.

Worst case scenario is Floyd beats Cotto at like 155. Then rematched Canelo at a cw as well. That would be very annoying.

oh, I don't want Floyd getting a shot at the title and padding his legacy, he should've stepped up to fight Martinez instead of Maidana, if he fights Cotto it's be because he sees him as a soft touch

Canelo is quite ballsy (Lara is a good enough example) but GGG is HBO's pet project
