    It's clearly a joke when you have TWO fighters, with ONE collective fight at MW, competing for a lineal title!

    This isn't Andre Ward jumping to LHW to fight Adonis Stevenson for a lineal title.

    This is CANELO ALVAREZ, who does not EVEN HAVE A TITLE AT JMW, competing for a LINEAL TITLE AT MW.

    Do you understand why that's a JOKE?

    I'm looking forward to the FIGHT, it should be fun and I'm a fan of both guys, but you clearly have no clue what we're talking about when we're mentioning the CORRUPTION.

    One fighter's popularity doesn't mean **** when it comes to rankings and who deserves to fight for what title. To think that Alvarez can become more of an "accomplished" MW than GGG in the minds of fans like you because of a "lineal" title is laughable.

        50-50 split

        No catchweight - both fighters won't weigh in more than 156 anyway so just preserve tradition

        Cotto decides location and date since he is the belt holder. Cotto fought Martinez, messed up knee or not. He took that risk. Canelo didn't. Mayweather didn't. Cotto did.

                  No, nothing you said makes it a joke. You got two of the best fighters around 160 lbs fighting for the lineage of the MW title. If there were better candidates, at MW then Canelo or Cotto would be fighting somehow else for the MW title. But Cotto just so happened to f**k up the #1 ranked MW in the world, and it only took him one shot. Winner will then fight the best contender left GGG.

                  What's a joke, is that two JMW's (Canelo, and Cotto) would plow trough the MW division, possibly in one night, outside of GGG.

                  When you're done crying, and done with this:

                  Then get back to me.

                    atm what i have i see in my mind is, cotto is outboxing canelo, and then boom!, canelo all along was setting up a counter left hook, cotto is hurt, gets flurried against the ropes, goes down ,akes it out of the round onto to recieve more punishment before the fight is finally stopped, in the 5th

                      Canelo will knock Cotto out in my opinion and GGG will knock out Canelo. GGG will beat anybody under 175 pounds.
