Kell Brook is the #1 contender according to the Ring at 147

You are shook anytime you hear Cotto, all you say is "Haymon can't do bidness with Jay-Z." Yeah, that's what people said about Top Rank and Haymon, even Floyd himself. Jay-Z and Beyonce were at the fight FFS, why would they pay for a ticket when they hate Floyd and Haymon so? If there was something there it seems be behind them.

I'm not shook, I just want to see GGG beat the **** out of Cotto, and if not, I would like to see Cotto do what he is supposed to do and Fight Canelo.

I mention it as a timeline. Floyd still hasn't dropped the belts. It took quickly for him to announce right after the Guerrero fight that he was fighting Canelo Alvarez. He took a while to announce the Maidana rematch though. I believe we will find out who his next opponent is either after the Golovkin fight, or after Brook's fight with Gavin on May 30th. And if he still has the belts by those 2 days, his opponent will be Brook.

He is not going to fight Golovkin,no way no how

Thurman is probably the only guy that makes sense.
Brook isn't a big name and is fighting Gavin in may and Rios in July
Khan can't fight in September
Garcia wants to defend his belts in philly against Broner
Cotto is fighting geale and then has a deal to fight Canelo after that
I think it will be thurman.

No, Cotto won more rounds. I don't want to hear about some "look at the scorecards" because then I'll just point out that Canelo fought Floyd to a draw. You know that's bull**** just like the scorecards in the Cotto fight.

Even assuming you think Cotto won two rounds, Cotto didn't lose a round as badly as Manny did.

Cotto definitely looked better than Manny against Mayweather. Size matters against Mayweather. If you are small and have a short reach, you have zero chance of beating Mayweather. If Mayweather has 4 or more inches of reach on his opponent, that fighter will lose badly.

It would be fun to watch, but there's no need for the fight. Despite how entertaining it would be I don't think anyone would argue Cotto winning besides the Puerto Ricans.

Cotto vs Canelo could be PPV. Then they would make Canelo vs GGG a PPV propelling GGG into a bit more stardom.

I didn't say Golovkin. I am using his fight as a possible timeline on how he makes his decision. He said he would drop the belts on Monday. Well he hasn't. Lets say he announces his next fight between the dates of May 17th to may 31st and still has the belts. That would mean he is most likely going to drop the Belts after he beats Brook.

[Eff Pandas]

I seriously doubt Mayweather travels from MGM to fight anyone & idk that Brook has much value outside of the UK yet, thus this fight holds very little value. I can't see it happening unless Brook beats a big name opponent (maybe Thurman or Marquez) in time to make a fight in September or Mayweather pushes back his May/Sept. schedule & those both seem extremely unlikely.

Cotto and Manny are the same height and reach so......

And Brook beat Floyd at this stage. He will not be able to work his inside game/tricks because Brook is just as good at it if not better plus he's bigger and stronger...

So he has to fight him at a distance....Remember Mosley's right hand? It'd be a least one of them a round from Brook.....

5 years ago Floyd wipes the floor with him but not now....

[BodiesInFlight]

I can't see it happening

although i can't see any other obvious choices so why not.

[Southpaw93]

Its Cotto or Khan imo
