Comments Thread For: Cotto Allowed Voluntary Defense Before Facing Golovkin

[big_james10]

Why do people keep assuming that Cotto/Alvarez will take place in May 2015? Why does Sulamain think Cotto gives a damn about the WBC regular championship and will be willing to fight anybody for this title?

If Cotto/Alvarez happens at all, it will be in June, not May. Cotto may choose to fight someone else in March at 154 and then fight again (maybe against Alvarez) in June for no title. If Cotto/Alvarez do fight, the winner will fight Mayweather in rematch in September 2015.

GGG is a nobody financially and is not on anybody's agenda because he brings nothing to the table financially. Attracting 9,000 people to a fight with the help of an established superstar in Nonito Donaire fighting a tough opponent proves nothing.

but Canelo doesn't deserve a chance at Cotto title!

[BOXEO _]

Cotto's moving back down to 154 regardless of the outcome of the Cotto/Canelo Super Fight in May.

[big_james10]

nothing knew, I thought you always allowed one voluntary defense before facing your mando?

That rule is applied selectively. Alvarez never faced his mandatory opponent at 154 when he held the WBC title. He fought three voluntary defenses before he fought Trout in a unification fight.

Cotto vs Canelo winner fights GGG. Very simple.

[Build That Wall]

Cotto vs Canelo winner fights GGG. Very simple.

Then there is no way GGG will get the chance to fight both of them if that happens. That sucks. GGG can fight Cotto first, Then GGG can Fight Canelo. Once GGG finishes them off, Let me get my Batman voice ready, Then Canelo and Cotto have my permission to fight each other.

I guess we'll see how long the WBC allows Cotto to sit on the MW belt without defending it. If given the opportunity, he'll fight Canelo at 154 and then Mayweather for the MW belt. Cotto/GGG is a pipe dream.

This would be a dream come true. HBO wished that things would turn out this well.

Canelo vs Cotto May winner,

Cotto is there to make the most money on May 5, plus Mayweather has to fight Pacquiao to even compete, which is what boxing fans want.
