Comments Thread For: Cotto-Heiland Deal Close, But Requires Canelo Too

[icha]

They're working on that he is being marketed to the Mexican fans as an honorary Mexican fighter.

i like ggg and his style, but or him to be known by casuals needs more than just ko's, his age is a big factor so if he wants to be a ppv star he needs the big fights or else he doesnt have enough time to get there just with titles or ko's...
maravilla had the titles for a while and was never a draw... and he was fun to watch...

i don't see why canelo vs cotto wouldn't fall on sept unless its a pacquiao - mayweather rematch i really don't see any mayweather fight competing with a canelo - cotto fight.

Cotto wont fight 2 months later. If it happens it happens in Nov or Dec.

That was the point I Was trying to make to Mr. Barcham but he seems to think otherwise. In my opinion if he doesn't get the Cotto or Canelo fight he will have to move up. And I don't see too many big fights at 168.

is 3 months between june and sept, but i will still have my doubts in the same regard...

Cotto can only rest his 34 year old body 3-4 weeks before going back to training and that is not enough if it happens in sept. Cotto already told HBO that he will fight canelo from October to December, is in the spanish article of the original source.

that will be weird...

I wouldn't be surprised if the title is part of the HBO negotiation, this is the WBC we are talking about the same organization that found a way to make the reigning WBA champion the WBC interim champion and now are ranking Mr Heiland at #1.

This ^^ plus Roach doesn't like him to over train again due to his age.

mosley vs winky, norris vs mullings, cotto vs heiland

... Well: "Golovkin has to earn a shot at Cotto or Canelo", right?
... No shit?
... Meanwhile, no "top dog" wants to fight Golovkin next... Quillin, Lee, Lemieux, Froch, Chavez jr... Not even Andre Ward -- who used to call Golovkin periodically, but who lately simply forgot about wanting to fight him next...

well lets see out of the list you have ward called him out plenty of times and was turned down cause he "makes no money" (even though ward made more money then ggg so far) then you have Lemieux who has called him out and GGG's team acted like they didnt hear a word of it. then chavez JR called him out and GGG laughed at him but didnt give him the fight.

so lets keep going with your list Lee will be GGG's next fight (not before his team calls every fighter in the books and acts like they want to fight them even though he has a fight already made like he did with macklin while calling ward out) i can put money on it if lee wins his next fight GGG will fight him(its a safe fight that makes him look like hercules).

so out of all the fighter you mentioned the only one i can concur to is Quillin.

froch pretty much told GGG hes too small. if GGG wants him he can come up to 168 but if he does that ward will have a field day calling him out lol
