Comments Thread For: Golovkin’s Promoter: Cotto Seeking Step-Aside Deal

[TLC8]

Tricky situation here. Take step aside money and at least you get something out of it, try to force it and Cotto will just drop the belt. He'll get to fight for the vacant title again whoever, but Cotto would still be the true lineal champ regardless. Tough call.

Not a tough call AT ALL. Don't take any step aside money, and force Cotto to man up and fight u, or let him drop the belt and move the hell out of the way. Nobody cares who the lineal champ is or is not. If Cotto is unwilling to fight Gennady and chooses to run the other way, then let him explain that to fans the rest of his life. Don't go cherry pick a washed up Sergio for his name on your resume, yet you won't defend against the division's obvious best, GGG. Gennady could care less if he misses a Cotto payday. He's all about unifying the Middleweight division and knows the Paydays will take care of themselves. Cotto has already made it clear the organizations won't dictate who he fights. He can't beat Canelo hence why he stalled out negotiations with them. But if somehow he could get by Canelo, he'd still not fight GGG, and he'd drop his belt to avoid so.

GGG is a chicken. the coward is scared to fight a super middle. cotto and alavred are to small for him.

Quit hating. Cotto FEAR GGG. GGG wants to clear out the division. GGG already moved up to 160. He's a 154 fighter but PRIZE fighters avoid him. Cotto has a belt GGG has been waiting for. What happen to fighters nowadays??? 1980's legends got paid but mos of all, they fought each other.

Chavez Jr is a great example. Protected diva, talk crap about who you'll fight, don't get in the ring with Canelo or GGG, move up in weight because you won't train, skip Kovalev to fight a nobody named Fonfara and get beat up and quitting. Cotto fights a washed up 40 yr old Sergio, collects a belt. Stalls talks with Canelo at '54. Won't talk about Gennady. But you'll fight Geale who was train wrecked by GGG, and whispering behind the scenes to pay money to make Gennady go away. Phukkin weasel. He'd rather fight Tim Bradley or Brandon Rios than Canelo or GGG. That's the problem with too many alphabet belts, too many organizations, they look for weak links to collect a safe paycheck. Gutless. Makes legends like Marvin Hagler puke.

[ShoulderRoll]

Give GGG his belt already he's got so many great fights to make once he's collected the WBC belt.

Such as?

Or were you being sarcastic?

You're an idiot who should be drug tested. Nobody will fight Gennady at 160 clown. He fights 4x a year anyone who has the balls to climb in. Chavez avoided him by going to 175, then quitting against Fonfara. Chavez is not valid. Cotto has had every chance to fight GGG, then uses that ****** weak phukkin excuse "oh GGG doesn't draw PPV"... Same phukkin excuse Floyd used to not fight Pacquiao for the last 6 years. Hell Cotto wouldn't even fight Canelo at 154. He wouldn't even fight Andy Lee when he had the chance. You need to shut the phukk up clown.

You are getting emotional with it. Cotto is right, money talks. GGG is NOT a big $$ fight for Cotto. He would sooner fight Mayweather or Manny. it's just business at this point. Cotto is not a rookie taking on all comers for $10,000 anymore.

What these people don't understand that not only does fighting Canelo make more financial sense, but Canelo's simply just better. He's higher on the P4P list than GGG is. He's more skilled too. Cotto gets more with a win over Nelo than he does some Euro bum blaster with power.

If cotto is too smll, tell him to get the hell outa the middlwr div!

OF COURSE FIGHTIN cANELO IS A BIGGER FIGHT, BUT CANELO IS NOT MORE SKILLED. IF THEY FOUGHT AT SAY, 157, U TELLIN ME UD PICK CANELO TI WIN???
