    So Gingy has about 8 months before he suffers the first KO loss of his career.

        There's a difference to brute strength of Kirkland's punches to a crisply timed Cotto counter left hook. That said, Canelo has shown a solid chin for the most part.

          When Cotto wins 10 or 11 rounds, will he still get the decision? We already know one judge has the scorecards filled out.

            I go back and forth on this. It makes sense on the face of it, but Cotto does **** that makes no sense to me sometimes. Like I'm one of the guys that thought he shouldn't fight Martinez. We see how that worked out.

            I think in the next couple of years we'll see an epic and entertaining set of fights including all three of the guys you mentioned.

            What makes sense to me is that Cotto fights Canelo and if he gets by Saul, then GGG gets his shot. If not, then Canelo takes an easier fight after Cotto and then GGG gets his shot. In amongst this can be KOs and rematches and peripheral fights with exciting wildcard guys like Kirkland.

            I for one find the prospect of this whole thing dragging out over a couple of 3 years to be encouraging.

            One way or another it's gonna' get sorted out.

              I think Cotto's going to beat him too. I got him winning by decision though. Cotto's going to outbox him. Canelo's going to be eating hard jabs and left hooks all night.

                I really don't care who wins, cause I like both guys. I just want to see it cause it will be a hell of a fight.

                If it does go down on Cinco de Mayo weekend, Floyd is SOL. I doubt he goes head to head with a Canelo / Cotto card, especially with the weak pool of opponents he has left.

                I guess Canelo was really serious about taking those dates back.

                  I'm more excited to see if they can bully Floyd off that date.

                    It's important to Canelo to win every fight. Cotto will never agree to fight GGG in my opinion.

                      I hope they both lose so they can bring their diva attitudes down a notch.
