Cotto could have still fought canelo in june

[AlSharpton]

Why is this fight June 6? The PR parade is June 14th this year. Did Arum book June 13 to **** block Cotto?

Soon you all will get what you been wishing for, he will vacate. Then what will be left to talk about when it pertains to GGG? The Ward fans will haunt you with the claims of their fighter being ducked by your guy and what else? The guy is in a weak division with the only star being the guy you people keep calling to vacate. It's going to be a lonely world for GGG fans once the bum Cotto vacates.

Sorry, Ward cant be ducked because he isnt in GGG's division. Cotto should have vacated the belt a long time ago if knew he was gonna fight a 154lber. Either way WBC gonna strip him after fighting his bum in the works. After that, all will be well in the boxing world.

Who will GGG fight that will send him into the PPV stratosphere? I guess Cotto must be a bigger star than I gave him credit for, if the boxing world is in shambles because he is holding a MW belt that belongs to the future of boxing 32 years old GGG. You guys calling for Cotto to just FedEx the belt to GGG are pitiful atleast ask for the guy to fight for it, it's Cotto's belt and not once did he say he will never fight GGG. The only time he came close to saying something like that he said "I will do what is best for Miguel Cotto's career and if that means fight GGG then we will fight him".

I think Arum did, they're probably running with Verdejo.


Cotto must stop Bundrage in this fight to at least save some face here.

So is he going to vacate 160 or what?

This better not be for the 160 Gold.

I have no problems with this fight if Cotto's vacating and they're fighting for K9's 154 strap. Cotto's way to small for 160 anyway. Hell he's even small for 154.

This absolutely. Me too.

How about posting the entire quote?

“He [Golovkin] has to wait like anybody else,” Cotto told ESPN.com. “He can do whatever he wants. My career does not depend on Gennady Golovkin. Everything I do will be the best for me. That is what I will do. If that is fighting Gennady Golovkin, I will do it. If not, he can take the middleweight title. He can take it.”


Doesn't sound like someone who wants to fight Golovkin does it? There is no shame in admitting that GGG is too much for him. No shame in admitting that he is not a real middleweight and does not belong in that division.

But there is a lot of shame in trying to hold on to a belt you have no intention of defending against the best opponent in the division.

Cotto could have still fought canelo in june

Canelo didn't want to fight in June, that was the main problem, ODLH and Canelo said that they will not move from May 2nd unless May-Pac fight. The other bigger problem was that Roach will not be able to train Pacman and Cotto at the same time and Cotto already said that he is going to give Pacman and Roach all the time they need. I think Cotto and Canelo will fight in September.

I guess Bundrage was a very smart man to just sit and wait for Cotto. Plus his wife is pretty damn good looking.

[SlySlickSmooth]

so it was ok for Rosado & Ishida to fight for the 160 title? Even though they were career 154 lbers?

Golovkin fought four times that year, he got in Macklins and Stevens after. Ishida wasn't even on TV it was in Monaco and it was TWO months after Rosado.

They weren't even fighting for the 160 title, that belongs to your boy Cotto
Martinez didn't want to be in the ring with Golovkin so what could he do?
