Will Cotto fight after June? He might.

I meant fight GGG, sorry for thread title typo.

Article link.



Last lines of the article. I don't think it happens, it might, but I'll take that answer over "I'm not moving to 160." Like this guy answered.

I realize this is about cotto, but wtf is up with canelo? No to 160? You're in the division, how can these guys just make up their own rules and divisions.

In Canelo's mind, he's fighting at JMW. He even said that, "I want to continue at JMW" despite fighting at 155.

That's the influence of money in sport for you, it gives fighters a license to bend the rules and do what they want.

He'll be at 4 fights in the MW division without fighting a single MW. It's pathetic.

4 fights? as of for now he did 155 for lara and angulo, lets wait and see his weighin vs kirk(must likely 155) , but that will be 3 then...

Not a chance in hell. He turned down 10.5 million to fight Canelo so there isn't enough cash anywhere for him to fight GGG. He will fight somebody he is sure he can beat for his next fight and the fight after that in my opinion. No middleweights for Cotto. I hope he does fight GGG. It is what a good middleweight champion would do.

those rules dont apply for non-title fights, but i get your point and i agree, fighters need to make weigh all the time...
his team doesnt seem to be pushing canelo to the limit and chepo being his SC coach and nutritionist doesnt help much either...

He said he isn't moving to 160 after the Kirkland fight, so it will be 4 fights and still not a MW.

he could be fighting for a title after kirkland and that will be at 154, who knows ... wont even rule out pac or floyd fights on september...

The only ones who are obligated to do anything are champions. They are supposed to defend their title at least twice a year against worthy challengers in the weight class they are champion of. Canelo is not a champion so he is free to do what ever he wants to do and nobody should complain about it. If he fights at 155 pounds for the next ten years so the fuc what? He is not hurting any other boxer or slowing down any other fighter's career. Cotto is a middleweight champion so by taking over a year off with no injury and not fighting worthy middleweights he is hurting the division and the fighters who deserve a chance to win his title. If Cotto was not a champion he could fight whenever he wanted against whoever he wanted to fight and I would not care. It would be his business. Canelo is not making up his own rules. He is not a champion and there are no rules he has to follow. He fights at a weight limit of 155 against other fighters who agree to fight him at that weight. He is not fighting smaller men. Lara is a huge 154 pounder who might move to 160. Kirkland's last fight had a weight limit of 156 so he is coming down a pound for his fight with Canelo. Angulo went to 160 in his next fight after Canelo so not a single guy Canelo fought at 155 was smaller than he was. Quit your bitcing.
