Wbc sets agreement for winner of cotto/canelo to fight ggg in 2016

Great news but I'll believe it when I see it.

Basically. Also, no one is ducking Golovkin. I had no doubt in my mind Cotto or Canelo would fight 3G.

If Cotto intended to fight Golovkin, the fight would have been fought a long time ago.

Exactly, man. Cotto fought Geale because Geale was the highest ranked and biggest money fight available to Cotto at the time. #Facts

Actually,since ggg is the mandatory for the winner,he doesnt have to agree to any catchweights,and they still have to fight him. Full 160 lb limit

I don't think we will have to worry about a catchweight as long as Canelo Wins. Which is the most likely outcome.

If Cotto intended to fight Golovkin, the fight would have been fought a long time ago.

Why a long time ago. Cotto has only Been at MW for a year. 2 fights there and been working on this Canelo fight for two years. The GGG fight barely gained any steam within the last 6-13 months.

And that's being generous. I understand GGG fans have grown impatient. But that's not Cottos fault. Now if this behavior continues past Cotto-Canelo and he starts avoiding Golovkin then we can call it for what it is but I don't think it will happen. I'm actually quite certain it doesn't without being able to guarantee it 100%. Just wait.

LMAO! Some of you are so dumb it aint funny.

2016, when Cotto will be retired. Cotto will never fugging fight GGG. That is ******ed. Anyone who has been following boxing a little bit, now this is the truth.

I doubt Canelo would fight GGG either. GGG would destroy Canelo, end his career.

Why the hell do you think they aren't fighting him? Instead picking on soft touches.

This is not logical. This is very dramatic logic. I do not agree with any portion of it.

the winner will drop the belt and move down to 154 lbs

WBC SETS AGREEMENT FOR WINNER OF MIGUEL COTTO/CANELO ALVAREZ FIGHT TO FACE GENNADY GOLOVKIN IN 2016

We might get a rare moment of clarity in the sport of boxing, the middleweight division needed some great news and we finally have some. It’s been reported by Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times that the world boxing council has an agreement in place for the winner of Miguel Cotto (40-4, 33 KO’s) and Canelo Alvarez (45-1-1, 32 KO’s) to fight Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KO’s). so now we can figure out who is the undisputed king of the middleweight division.

This is great news, however nothing is all the way finalized in regards to the Cotto/Canelo fight. In a recent article from Boxing Scene Cotto’s team confirmed that negotiations for the fight are 90% done. So once that fight gets squared away we can begin analyzing a Cotto/Golovkin or Canelo/Golovkin matchups.

Significance of WBC announcement is it has deal in place with @Canelo and @RealMiguelCotto saying they***39;ll fight @GGGBoxing if they win.

It’s some great news for the middleweight division, should the WBC hold true to their agreement then we are looking at 2 mega fights within the next 6-10 months after the Cotto/Canelo fight takes place. Gennady Golovkin and his rapidly growing fan base has longed for a “Big Drama Show” which is necessary at this point in his career. He hasn’t fought an A-level fighter in his career due in large part to his opponents fear of getting in the ring with him. Outside of maybe Keith Thurman, there’s not a fighter in the sport of boxing who deserves a mega fight as much as Golovkin. Fans and boxing aficionados want to know just how great Golovkin is and we might find out sooner than later.

Until Cotto-Canelo sign some actual documentation, this is simply more wishful thinking. Hopefully Golovkin picked up a decent step-aside fee, because what will happen is already clear.

Cotto-Canelo happens, the winner of the fight sees the WBC 160 title mandated to face Golovkin, and the winner vacates the belt, going back to 154 to chase one of the full world titles that have come vacant with Floyd's retirement (though I think he might come back, he'll likely ask for a "champion emeritus/champion-in-recess" status).

They will but it will be on their terms. I hope he doesn't have to agree to go down to 155.
