Is that his clear and true intent? If he is granted that voluntary and takes it with the intent of defending his championship against the highest rated opponent then fine. The problem has been for about 10 months the state of the division has been in limbo because Cotto has not made his intent clear.
Well than that obviously means he plans on fighting GGG in the near future. imo if its K9 its for a canelo/floyd matches if its the WBC its for canelo/ggg matches.
Against the best man the title could possibly be defended against? Will that happen? Does he intend for it to happen? No one knows.
No, no one would care because the MW championship would not be an issue.
The issue is where this leave the MW championship status if it is not going to be defended against the best challengers and there is no clear indication that will happen.
He gets a voluntary, what don't you understand? You're mad because he didn't pick GGG, okay I get it. He didn't have to because he got a voluntary like every other champion ever after they win the title. You win the title you get a voluntary defense then a mandatory... do we really need to keep going in circles?
Beat the champ - Tuneup/stay buys fight/VOLUNTARY - Mandatory/Whoever gives the WBC more money.
That is how boxing works stop watching if it really bothers you that much.
The thing is that Cotto should have taken care of his voluntary defense before the end of 2014. There is no reason we should be having this discussion almost a year after he won the title. All we should be discussing now is when and where his mandatory defense against GGG will be taking place.

He was going to and couldn't get the right training date with Roach because of Manny training in the Phillipines for Algieri.
