GGG will get his shot when Cotto is through with Canelo.

Cotto is going to fight Truax or Soliman and then GGG Good Boys him in September.

if cotto-canelo turns into a war then we get a rematch in september...
also dont count out chavez jr -canelo which is a bigger fight than GGG...
but right thing will be canelo-ggg

That is true, but didn't he take step-aside money or something?

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.

according to Gabriel Peñagarícano it will be on may and there wont be any surprises or diva poses...

"Todos sabemos que el tema está ahí y eso es en mayo y apenas estamos en octubre. Falta mucho. Pero creo que comenzaremos a hablar en las próximas semanas".
"Si la pelea va a ocurrir, tenemos que tener todo listo y arreglado para antes de que comience el año y anticipo que no habrá controversia con ninguna de ellas", dijo en referencia a las exigencias que Cotto llevará a la mesa una vez inicien las negociaciones.

cotto destroys canelo and then ggg destroys cotto.

yes, it was either that or no fight and no money, if a big fight is on the way they wont strip anybody, remember floyd?? when was the last time he defended at 154lbs?

GGG should fight whomever is holding the lineal middleweight championship, regardless of their size.

If the person holding the lineal middleweight championship isnt comfortable fighting an actual middleweight, then perhaps they should vacate the middleweight title and move back to jr middle where they will be safe

The only reason you want to see GGG fight Canelo-Cotto is because you realize his popularity will rise being matched with two of the more popular boxers of this generation and he would have an easy time walking through either of them with style.

Personally, I am able to assess GGG objectively, and I can tell you that Cotto has been hurt and dropped at weights as low as 140 in his career. I can only imagine what GGG would do to an older, war torn Cotto fighting two weight classes above his prime.

I personally would like to see GGG build his legacy fighting evenly matched, competitive fights vs. fighters like Andre Ward, Carl Froch, and Mikkel Kessler. But once again, I am able to look at GGG objectively, you seem to be unable (or unwilling) to remove your fan hat.

World Boxing Council President, Mauricio Sulaiman, says WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32KOs) will be allowed a voluntary defense before facing the new WBC interim-champion Gennady Golovkin (31-0, 28KOs).

Cotto became the WBC middleweight champion this past June by stopping Argentinian, Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez, in the tenth round at Madison Square Garden in New York.

This is supposed to be a joke, isn't it?

[ИATAS]

Fine with me, he just won the title. One fight though WBC, stick to your word

[Teetotaler]

haha

GTFOH with that bull****. 2.5yrs ago, Cotto was all kinda washed up, shot, etc when the welterweight champ moved up to fight him. And it was "confirmed" in his next fight when he got his ass kicked by Trout. Canelo was all kinda hypejobs when the welterweight champ moved up and kicked his ass. According to everyone with a functional pair of eyes, he just got his ass kicked by Lara. But now that they're in GGG's sights, they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. If they were bull**** opponents for the welterweight champ several years ago. They're even bigger bull**** opponents for the best middleweight in the world now.

Just stfu. Ur embarrassing urself. So what if cotto lost to trout? He's now the wbc mw champ while trout is literally on ESPN. Canelo ruined trout
