Unfortunately for GGG, Cotto and Canelo are big money fighters. They really don't need a belt to make big fights. Pacquiao does not need a WW title for a big fight. I know GGG prides himself on being a fighter and "not a businessman," but this is a mistake in this case. If either fighter (Cotto or Canelo) demands a 155 CW, I think GGG would be smart to accept, because he really doesn't have anyone to bring him the "big fight" besides Cotto, Canelo, and Andre Ward.

No. I 'm correct. Why would Canelo want a rematch??? Challengers usually don't get squat! Don't forget who has been wanting to fight who for YEARS... Even sitting front row wearing a "I Love Cotto" t-shirt at the Trout fight. Man the look on Saul's face you would of thought HE lost lolComment

GGG is in the catbird seat !!! He commands the Post !!!With jr gone and Pac fighting one more time a new Commander has come aboard and taken OVER!!!!
He put on a blistering beat down saddy nite!!!!
If Cotto and Canelo don't want it then you get stripped and the title goes to GGG and they can retire forever.
GGG is Not one dimensional like Jr was ,,,,tap and run,,tap and run,,,No, GGG has everything
1: My box
2: My chin
3: My Power
Ward can get some but he will have money problems .
When Jr comes out of retirement he can face the Champ unless he is still chickenComment

Ggg is a future hall of famer and should be p4p #1 now after last night's performance. Does the fight have to be held at the middleweight limit ? I hope so. It is a middleweight title not a catch weight title. Ggg will be the winner if they fight him easy Cotto or Canelo.Comment

If Canelo wins HBO will bully GBP into a GGG fight the same way they did with Lemieux. Remember Oscar saying David had to fight his mando first, although there was not mando at the time, so David should have been allowed a voluntary. There were a lot of complaints after GGG/Monroe. HBO was not going to pay another licensing fee for GGG vs Stumblebum, He'd have to go back to Monaco to fight a non-televised fight against Heiland or someone. The N'dam fight played out perfectly. Knocking N'dam down 4 times (Quillin knocked him down 6 times and N'dam is on his ass so much you'd think that Tecate imprint on the back of his trunks was a sponsorship) led people to believe David was better than what he really is when in fact he's on Monroe's level.
HBO is not going to allow Canelo to fight anyone else while their star has to sit and wait for Canelo to fight a voluntary. Where is Oscar going to go? He's already burned bridges with Showtime. He has no leverage.
So if Canelo or Cotto refuse to fight GGG next where does GGG go from there?Comment

If HBO won't do business with Haymon, or vice versa, that eliminates Quillen, Jacobs, and Lara. If he won't fight at 155, that "might" eliminate Cotto and Canelo. What's left? Andy Lee and Billy Joe Saunders. The only thing that can help GGG is 1 million PPVs. That would turn the tables real quick!Comment
