    Cotto isn't "ducking" GGG, it's HBO that doesn't want it

    It's pretty simple to see if you simply look at the facts.

    The truth is HBO has been pushing hard for a Cotto-Canelo showdown now that Canelo is back on contract with HBO. It's the fight that's worth a lot of money from PPV and gate sales alone. It's a classic PR vs Mexico, so it sells itself. But you know who else is contracted to HBO? GGG is.

    Cotto is NOT afraid of GGG, this is ****** drivel spewed by obnoxious fanboys. However, it is a possibility that Cotto could lose to GGG, even though they are evenly matched in skill. In fact, I'd give the slight edge to Cotto for his ability to move and box. Cotto is proven at MW by beating the lineal champion, meanwhile GGG stays feasting at the bottom of the barrel for scraps. Anybody can show good power against bums. Golovkin literally brings nothing to the table in comparison to Canelo. Canelo has more paying fans and it's simply a better matchup. Beating Canelo would also PROVE more considering Canelo is much higher on the P4P list than GGG is. In fact, one could argue GGG doesn't even crack the top 20 P4P, while Canelo floats in the top 10.

    Think about this for a second, if you were the head of HBO Sports, which fight would you clamor for? Do you really think HBO wants to push this fight compared to what they could get in a Canelo-Cotto matchup?

    Think about it for a second and drop in and share your thoughts.

    HBO don't want it and neither does Cotto's team. And GGG is, IMO, higher than Canelo on the P4P rankings.

    If I were Cotto, I would vacate that belt. No sense in fighting a monster who's in a weight class Cotto doesn't even belong in. He's taken enough punishment throughout his career, it would be senseless to receive more at the tail end of it.

        I disagree. I don't think Cotto could make 154 anymore, at least not in a healthy manner. He's been known to be lazy in regards to cardio. And who even knows how much longer Nelo will stay at 154? What weight class is the Kirkland fight taking place at? Nelo is a huge SWW.

                  HBO is blocking another good fight from taking place. We want to see the best fight the best, why doesn’t HBO?

                    Lol yeah because Cotto totally tried to negotiate with Golovkin right? He wasn't even going to fight Canelo and he wouldn't even go as far as listen to an offer from team Golovkin. GTFO!
