The official Cotto must fight GGG thread.

[ИATAS]

fighting for the MW belt is rather silly but it doesn't matter much to me.

It's supposed to matter to boxing fans because it's the lineal title. It's not as if Cotto is just some random belt holder, he is THE champ at 160, a lineage we can trace back over a decade (Cotto-Martinez-Pavlik-Taylor-Hopkins). So it would be a damn shame if the belt is only defended by other welterweight at catchweights while the true and deserving middleweights never get a crack at it. So for myself and many other fans it's much more than just a belt, it's more than just Cotto. It's about the integrity of the belt, the integrity of the sport, it's boxing history.

This is hard as a cotto fan bc I know he can't beat ggg but I do agree he must fight him if he's not gonna drop the belt.

I'm on board for Cotto to end NSB's flavor of the month
