With Cotto& Canelo booked, GGG again with no opponent

[Rustyjaguar]

agree with you. I bet Pacquaio would fight him, but it would be at like 152 or 153. That would be huge in Macao. He would beat Pac , but Pac would hit him alot. Mayweather fight would be huge in Vegas. However Floyd doesn't like to get hit. GGG would win by stoppage or Big unanaimous decision.

Wouldn't mind seeing him fight Lara, Andrade, and Kirkland. 3 different styles and 3 times he would have to adjust.

If Cotto gets stripped, like the WBC said they would if Cotto doesn't fight Golovkin, Golovkin will fight for the WBC belt. If not, he should try to get Lara or a worthwhile fight at 168, assuming he doesn't get Lee.

IF cotto were to get stripped, GGG would not have to fight for the WBC belt. As interim champ, if cotto was stripped then GGG automatically gets elevated to full champ.

But what i suspect will happen is that Roc Nation will pay GGG a big step aside fee and cotto wont get stripped

Apparently Loeffler is trying to offer Andy Lee big money for a unification.

At least he's trying something this time instead of hand picking the next bum.

Not that Lee is anything special

Lee is Geale/Murray level.

you are probably right.

Ease up, Cotto now fights Geale after that he either fights Golovkin for the WBC belt or he gives it up and move to catchweight to fight Canelo (he will do the latter) Golovkin will fight for the WBC belt by the fall.

[kafkod]

does this mean cotta will have to hand GGG his belt before he fights canelo?
If GGG's team can then land an Andy lee fight he'd pretty much have all the meaningful titles then

If the WBC are true to their word, Cotto will have to either relinquish his title or lose to Geale if he wants to fight Canelo this fall.

[OnePunch]

you are probably right.

in which case the only hope of keeping the middleweight lineage intact is if either Geale or Canelo beat Cotto.

We all know that Cotto breaks out in hives just looking at GGGs photo, so nobody believes he will ever fight GGG. I believe Geale or Canelo would though, which would preserve the middleweight lineage

[soul_survivor]

Cotto and Canelo agreed to fight in the fall, meaning in all likelihood they are done for the year. Looks like another year gone by where Golovkin won't get a name fighter in the ring

GGGs team is pretty **** at trying to negotiate anything and HBO are building him to be fed to ward in 2016.

[kafkod]

Ward is available!

Ward, Rigo and Thurman the real Boogie men of boxing.

He's not. Needs two tune-ups. Fights Paul Smith.

Abel Sanchez put out this challenge to Ward 2 months ago.

Ward is the champion at 168. For GGG/Ward to happen, the offer must come from Andre.

[Eastcoast]

The WBC will not grant 'emeritus' status to someone who has only defended a title once, if he gets past Geale that is. That would be the biggest joke in boxing.

That's exactly what they did to Sergio Martinez when he fought Dzinziruk instead of Zbik.

The WBC won't miss out on collecting their 3% sanctioning fee on Cotto/Alvarez, especially giving that Alvarez is their favorite son. Then Alvarez/Cotto will have atleast one rematch, after which Alvarez will defend that title 2-3 times vs MW's not named Golovkin before finally facing him.
