Comments Thread For: WBC: No Voluntary, Cotto-Canelo Victor Must Face GGG

[Rustyjaguar]

Yup, it's kind of weird.
The posters who seem to want the fight to fall through are the same ones who like to call out Golovkin for not fighting better opposition.

Isnt this so true!!!!!

My girl is butt ass naked laying next to be, half snoring.

But thanks, I am glad you are concerned about my sexual wellbeing.

And Jesus, are you ok?

I realize just now I'm debating an unstable person.

I'm gonna leave this alone.

Enjoy this delusions that GGG is ducking Cotto. I can't even type that without busting up laughing.

I truly hope it makes it easier to deal with the fact that these two have a monster coming to get them!

They have every right to be scared, especially Cotto.

Your girl snores you fcking lame lmaO?!

It makes sense because you seem like the type that would have a snoring fcking hog waddling around in the bed with you LmFAO

Cotto should drop the belt if he wins, I think he only hold it to see if he could lure Floyd into a fight. If he goes ahead and fights GGG, damn, balls of steel.

Good point, do you think if FMJ tells WBC he is willing to fight Cotto for MW belt they will allow Cotto a voluntary defense?

cotto can drop the belt into a trash can and sulaiman will pick it up and clean it and put it right back into cottos waist if he finds out floyd is in line... heck he will even give cotto a kiss after that...

If Alvarez wins Sulaiman will drag this on 4 ever & if the winner is Cotto he gives up the belt & goes 2 '54 ..

Don't think this is a fair fight, GGG is a naturally bigger dude. Regardless of day of fight weight arguments, you can't compare solid muscle to water weight. At the same time, what should we expect when Canelo-Cotto are fighting at "160" now. So, it is what it is.

Like **** Jones said, "if you can't stand the heat, stay outta the kitchen."

I definitely agree, I personally just have no sympathy when they're fighting for the 160 lbs. strap, even if they fight for it at 157 lbs.

I think Canelo can compete with GGG or anyone at 160 easily- but Cotto hit the ceiling at 154. I could see Canelo fighting at 168 by the time he's 30 or older.

I'm waiting to see what they look like in Nov. Unless Cotto thoroughly dominates somehow- I just can't picture him in the ring with GGG.

[The Gambler1981]

I hate that's what boxing has become nowadays but that is true. Hopefully they don't try to screw him over too much in weight. If I was GGG I would start trying to trim down to make at least a 157 CW as soon as I can.

I just don't think it is all that different now than in the past. The big name guy has always been getting the advantage in some way or another, the catch-weight thing for belts may be a bit new but the idea is the same.

It certainly sucks for a deserving contender though to be getting played like that, and they have been playing Golovkin for a long ass time now.

He could only do that if GGG agreed to it. ($$$)

Golovkin has a legally binding contract from the WBC saying he will be next for the winner of Cotto/Canelo.

If the WBC break that contract K2 will sue them for sure. They've already had to file for bankruptcy once after being sue for breaking a contract with a fighter. They're not going to make that mistake again.

Isnt this so true!!!!!

I wouldn't think anyone wants the fight to fall through; it's just a strong possibility that the winner may vacate and not fight GGG next.

Ring can strip the winner, but that doesn't mean that the winner isn't still lineal. Lineal can only lose it ion the ring or by retiring - or changing weight class. BUT, if winner stays at 160 and doesn't fight GGG, everyone would know who the real champ is.
Just like in 90's when Erdei was lineal 175 lb champ, but no one really would've said Erdei was the 175 lb champ of Roy Jones

[The plunger man]

LOL. Do you honestly believe DLH would remove the lineal title from Canelo if he wins?

What world do you live in?

That's not his choice ward man.....the simple fact the ring lineal champion is awarded by the ring magazine and them only....and the WBC has already stated no voluntary defences before the they have to meet golovkin.....that's if canelo avoids the fight with golovkin....canelo I imagine is not that sort of fighter to avoid his challenges and he did with Lara that he agreed to the fight....canelo if he says no he will not have a belt and besides who else can give canelo a big PPV besides golovkin....no one likes champions who don't accept there mandatory....it's about time boxing went back to how it was when you faced the best and you took your losses like a man......as I said the ring magazine has already said they will follow suit if the WBC strips the winner of canelo and cotto if they avoid there mandatory....champions should act like champions it's that simple...with no belt what exactly will a guy who insists n catchweights do with out a championship belt...wake up ward man
