[/QUOTE] Why does his optional defense have to be a welterweight??? Please, someone, anyone, explain it to me. I want to know why he has to fight someone 2 divisions lower for his voluntary as opposed to someone in his own weight class. These actions almost certainly give away that he has no intentions of facing actual middleweights. Like why would you fight Brandon Rios if your next fight is supposed to be GGG???[/QUOTE]
Good question and there shouldn't be any excuse to allow anyone to do such a travesty. If Cotto fights by June 2015 that would be a whole year since holding the spurious title and how the WBC could allow an "optional defense" with someone 2 divisions lower??? (no WW or JMW is currentlly on the top 10 of the MW division) and even more pathetic knowing that probably it could take another 6-12 months for him to attempt to make a real defense of that title. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
I really wish Loeffler would appeal to the commission and have Cotto's voluntary dismissed and the mandatory enforced. This guy has been sitting on that voluntary fight long as hell, he could've signed and had a fight this coming month with giving GGG his mandatory in the summer. At this rate the mandatory may have to wait til 2016. Cotto needs to man the hell up. I'm sure PrBoxing is completely fine with this diva holding belts hostage.
Martinez can fight Cotto for the MW title and it's fine, even though Cotto was never a MW.
Cotto beats him, gets a voluntary defense, is exercising that right but Cotto is picking on the little guy? What's changed peoples mind that one is okay but not the other? I mean, obviously other than Cotto beating the **** out of Martinez because I really don't see a difference. Is it because Cotto wouldn't be a 3-1 underdog that the fights not fair?

The hate is real. "His knee doe" "what plaster wraps!?"
Notice how the so called "fans" who are quick to want to see Cotto fight GGG, had no such desire to see Canelo or Martinez fight GGG. Peasants are on a mission 24/7.

I'm starting to feel like 85 percent of ya on here jus like to speak without logic, I don't see anything wrong with Cotto fighting his optional defense in his 2ND fight in the middleweight division then fighting GGG, Wht is wrong with getting more comfortable with the division ? I'm sure all ya talking crap had Martinez whipping Cotto then Cotto whips him and ya ain't man enough to give him the credit! Most likely Floyd fans that talk crap but it's ok for Floyd to fight an old Mosley or Khan fighting an over the hill Luis Collazo , this is why politics is killing boxing and u guys are eating it all up , idiots, Cotto needs another fight against a middleweight if he's planning on staying in the division and fighting GGG, he's accomplished a lot in this sport and has earned the right to.
So they made things difficult in the Canelo negotiations for nothing. What was that A-side crap all about? They ended up looking for fights now, which is no different from giving up that A-side crap of theirs.
