Comments Thread For: Loeffler: Cotto-Canelo, GGG-Lemieux Winners Must Fight

[bigjavi973]

Cotto said so himself, no network, sanctioning body can make him face GGG. The article ran here on bscene earlier this year.

Yes he said that because he is going to fight in the order than he wants to fight them...

Canelo then GGG. When did he say he won't fight GGG at all?

On the night of October 17th at the Madison Square Garden, a middleweight unification bout takes place between WBA/IBO champion Gennady Golovkin and IBF bel-holder David Lemieux. Then a month later, on November 21st at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, WBC champion Miguel Cotto faces Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

Cotto will never fight GGG because he knows he would get his butt kicked. Cotto will vacate the middle weight rather than fight GGG and will come up with some flimsy exceuse, even though the money would be huge. Canelo may fight GGG. Canelo is actually the heavier fighter. Canelo walks around at about 172 and GGG at about 168. So it could happen if Oscar De LaHoya and Bernard Hopkins decide to let Canelo go for it. That would be a huge payday for both fighters and the world will get to see just how good GGG is.

"Must fight" yeah ok, not going to happen. I just don't see Cotto ever fighting GGG. Canelo maybe but not anytime soon.

This is more realistic imo.

Just because Loeffler, WBC, anyone else say "it must happen" doesn't mean it will.

Don't know where ppl here are convinced that Canelo will face triple G. He only talks about him when ask and says that somewhere down the line( and a very far line) he would face him. But Canelo does say that he is at his weight class of 154 even though he has been struggling

Even a weight drained Geale > Kirkland
He didn't even put away punching bag angulo & needed the ref's help stopping the fight.
Oh no wait you must mean welterweight josesito lopez!!! That was a great wi.... no wait...
Old man mosley? Kermit "garbage ass" cintron? Welterweight Gomez? welterweight matthew hatton? welterweight lovemore ndou???

Damn those are ALOT of welterweights that CaneLol fought at superwelterweight... what was CaneLol's fight night weight again?

My post specifically states from Trout up until now for both fighters. Before Trout, Canelo was hype. Ironically, Cotto has been hype since he faced Trout.

If the winner of Cotto/Canelo won't fight GGG next, then GGG will take the belt.GGG won't get the money or fame he would by stomping either one of these guys but GGG can't wait forever while these guys keep ducking him. Cotto is a jam tart. Canelo might fight GGG. Let's see what happens. Real boxing fans know that GGG is a notch above both of these guys.

[GaryMSchneider]

Honestly, there is no way I can ever see Cotto fighting Golovkin at 160lbs. I think Canelo would, but not Cotto. Canelo is naturally bigger than Cotto.

If Cotto beats Canelo, I can see him offering Golovkin big money to make it for 155lbs for #GolovkinCotto. However IMO if Golovkin refuses to go below 160lbs then Cotto will vacate.

If the money if big enough then GGG will fight Cotto at 155. GGG will easily win either way.

[GaryMSchneider]

One thing is for sure by next year, GGG will hold the IBO, WBA, IBF & WBC middleweight titles.
Nothing Cotto, Canelo or Lemieux can do about it. GGG is just another level on these guys.

One hundred percent right on with that. GGG is definitely a notch above them all. Cotto knows it and Oscar De LaHoya and Bernard Hopkins both know it too. So I wonder if Oscar will let Canelo fight GGG, even though he is the mandatory. GGG will make 155 easier than Canelo if that is what they want because GGG is the naturally lighter man.

[GaryMSchneider]

Ggg beats David cotto beats canelo and then cotto v.s floyd and he retires ggg will not get a mega fight unless canelo man's up but I doubt it after cotto schools him

You could be right. I can see both Cotto and Mayweather sidestepping GGG. The one man who would school them both.
