Cotto vs Taylor: MW Unification...whynot?

[Dinamita 03]

Ok we see what people are saying, but if its announced taylor vs ggg, the ggg people will think its a challenge, and swear its the fight of the century. you heard it hear first. The ggg people will swear its a great fight, just remember how its shot down when its proposed that cotto vs taylor is a shiiiiiiit fight, but awesome fight for ggg

I agree Taylor vs GGG would be a great fight, I'd gladly pay money to see that.

This is basically just a Ricardo Mayorga-type opponent for Cotto. A well past-his-prime name who won't have any chance. But if it's a stay-busy while he waits for the Canelo clash in May, Taylor's better than some other names might be. I'm still not wholly at ease with Jermain Taylor fighting anyone period, tbh.

i would be genuinely concerned for taylor's health against golovkin.


they fought soliman for a reason. he's one of the lightest punching fighters in the top 10 of any division.

[MRCHOKEaMF]

why risk cotto vs canelo and the money to be made, if cotto wins how does that improve or hype the fight anymore?

[AntonTheMeh]

why would he need to collect a belt if he's going to avoid the only fight worth making at that weight? if he took a jermaine taylor fight, he'd deserved to get ktfo by jermaine taylor.

Would rather watch curling.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Jermain Taylor would become the new lineal champ..

[bojangles1987]

because it's a f#cking ****** fight that appeals only to cotto fanboys.

Hit it out of the park.

Are you serious? The thread maker must be on crack to even want to see that fight.

Well not really - crack has never been my thing.

I'm just thinking up of alternatives - everyone wants to see a Cotto superfight vs GGG and Canelo

In the off-chance that there is an interim fight before those big fights - I'm just looking at alternatives that we may see before those fights.

But hey, I guess it gets exciting 'round here regurgitating the same tired comment. We get it, everyone wants to see Cotto pass the lineal belt to GGG. The chances of the passage happening however in the first half of 2015 are nearly ZERO, but if it helps to just keep wishing on it, then have at it.

lmfao..Taylor should not even be licensed to fight
