What will Miguel Cotto do if/when Golovkin beats Rubio?

[MDPopescu]

The real issue here is Cotto wants to pretend to be the MW champ. He wants the glory and respect that is associated with one of the most prestigous titles in all of boxing. The problem is he doesn't seem to want to actually be a MW champion. He turned down his mandatory in Rubio, his coach says GGG isn't big enough of a name (same excuse as the last guy who held that title), and now Steve Kim was saying that Cotto's team doesn't want Andy Lee because he's too tall and that Lee was TR's idea to help sell tickets at MSG while defending the MW title.

Personally I don't think Cotto wants to fight Alvarez at MW anyways. He knows Alvarez doesn't like cutting those extra few lbs to 154. I see Alvarez-Cotto being close and ending up with a rematch in September. My guess is Miguel drops his MW status and goes after a version of the WBC's JMW title (since Floyd is busy defending it against WW's).

Revelations are so rare...

Cotto has the worst fans of any fighter I can think of.

Pretending that martinez fight was anything other than sad and embarrassing is a hopeless cause.

These dorks were leaping out of their chairs in glory when Yuri Foreman's knees gave out and chanting "KING COTTO! KING COTTO!"

When Cotto steps up the competition he gets embarrassed. He's learned this and made the appropriate adjustments (ducking). Why haven't his fans?

Short bald ugly dudes everywhere need an idol to look up to, I guess.

When Cotto steps up the competition? He faced the reigning MW champ of the world, that's called stepping up. It's over Martinez lost. Your prediction was wrong, smoke a doobie and collect yourself.

Like cotto or not. Believe in cotto or not. I really never seen him duck anyone.
Cotto will fight Canelo and GGG. IF he beats Canelo and has to fight GGG. Conciser it done. Cotto isn't hiding behind his 0. He's not afraid of losing. Dude can take a beating and give one. He fights until he can't no more. He won't vacate nothing. Unless it's a bigger payday or better fight for him. And I don't see GGG not being anything less than that for him.

He can drop the WBC and still be the lineal/ring champion and take his money fights

This is pretty much it.

GGG brings nothing to the table for Cotto. Money fights for Cotto are Nelo and if he wins a rematch with Floyd, after that he may fight GGG or retire.

Ok, lets say your theory is correct, why would GGG want to fight a past prime fighter who has beaten nobody and is a worthless champ? That means GGG is a cherrypicker right?

You sound like Martinez showed up as a beast and not as a deadman almost walking... Because he couldn't walk not even the entire first round...

As you might remember Golovkin called Martinez for years... With no result...
Now Cotto has Martinez' belts...

Cotto needs a soft touch now -- Martinez gave him hell, actually...

Floyd will be declare the WBC emeritus Champ, and the WBC title at 154 will be vacant Cotto will fight Andy Lee for it, thats about 80% done.

GGG fans get mad, but what I said its true, GGG brings nothing but a prospect rcord and hype. Cotto is already the lineal champ at MW and GGG brings 0 dollars.

And what that has to do with anything? GGG also called Floyd, that means he will want Maidana in case he beats FLoyd? GTFOH.
