Comments Thread For: Team Golovkin: We Get Cotto-Canelo Winner or No Deal

[PETUFF]

why not GGG vs Canelo winner fight Cotto thats how support to be!

[Weebler I]

Good job, they should be fighting at 154 anyway.

Alvarez is #1 contender for the IBO belt at LMW, they can box for that if they're desperate for a title.

[Barcham]

Look here...Cotto will not fight Golovkin. No way, no how. So he should just drop that title.

My question is why doesn't The Ring strip Cotto since it has been a year between his fight and the title was not on the line then?

They should have done that months ago.

RING rules state 18 months without a defense before being stripped.

[JRB123]

Probably the same reason Ward was champ for nearly 2 years without a fight. They just stripped him a few months ago.

Yeah I just read the stipulations...Cotto can keep that belt since he fought Geale...but 18 months? It should be 8 to 12 months at the most

ggg wants the belt go fight somebody instead of bums after cotto beats canelo your next ggg and the hype will end because cotto will beat you

Or if he wants the belt... he can fight the guy with the belt..

With Miguel Cotto's emphatic fourth-round knockout of Daniel Geale this past weekend at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, the immediate focus turned to a fall showdown versus Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez - in what would be one of the most anticipated fights of 2015.

But Cotto, who has the WBC middleweight title in his possession, still has an obligation to face Gennady "GGG" Golovkin, who is currently the WBC interim-champion based on his victory over Marco Antonio Rubio last October.

If those are the terms, Cotto vacates the title, fights Canelo at 155 at some venue somewhere, and the sanctioning body miss out on their fee, to then sanction Golovkin vs Heiland instead.

have fun with that

[The Big Dunn]

Cotto- I'm not fighting canelo next.
Wbc-you are stripped.
Cotto-im fighting Floyd for the belt.
Wbc-ok, keep belt and leave sanctioning fee on the way out
GGG-where is the belt?
Wbc-cotto is fighting Floyd, sorry. Maybe you can get next after that.
GGG fans-waaaaaaah.

[Mr.Daddy]

Loeffler is a naive if he believes that any agreement about the next fight in which the winner agreed to fight GGG means anything in this day and age. On June 10, 2016, we'll be here reading the same nonsense. Not to use a cliche, but this is boxing's version Lucy moving the football on Charlie Brown. And I find it to be intolerable. The WBC should just strip Cotto if his very next fight isn't against GGG. Naturally the WCB won't do anything about it.
