Comments Thread For: WBC Derecognizes Cotto; Title Only At Stake For Alvarez

[Jubei]

Cotto made history tonight, dropping that belt because he was afraid to fight his mandatory.

Thanks for the $800.000 though

[BucaRican]

Thats the dumbest thing I've heard all week. The fee was paid to GGG in exchange for him stepping aside and allowing Cotto-Canelo to be for the WBC title. He held up his end, and thats a done deal. Cotto is the one who now doesnt want to pay the WBC, which has nothing to do with the GGG situation.

You cant be this dumb? Wait, dont answer........

También se ha conocido que Golovkin, monarca interino, por esperar la oportunidad de disputar la pelea para definir al campeón del peso mediano iba a recibir $800,000

Google the translation. IBA = was

Your theory is shot. GGG was going to receive 800k that never happened. It was a part of the terms. That money was to be paid Monday night at the deadline along with the 300k.

Sorry to shot your theory down.

These ****ing idiots lmao. Some of these Ricans OH MY DAYS! Trying so desperately to spin and survive this haha at the start of fight week when they should be enjoying the build up lmfao. This is too brutal! Joto deserves this! Cotto the Ice Cream Man. 4 days before the right and he's been stripped this is too funny. Imagine if Saul beats Cotto up too!? Suicide watch around this mother ****a haha.

I can somewhat understand why they would strip Cotto, if what we are hearing is accurate, but...what claim would Canelo have at the WBC Middle weight belt? He's fighting Cotto who is no longer champ. By WBC rules shouldn't stripping Cotto elevate the interim champ (GGG) instead? Not sure how Canelo gets an automatic shot at the title considering circumstances...oh wait, he paid his dues, right...

- Lineal MW champ doe. COTTO MADE HISTORY DOE. Fighing 40 year old injured one legged Martinez at a catchweight for a fake title.

- Hoping to lure Mayweather back for a megafight for the lineal MW title! A side Cotto doe!

- Paying GGG $800k step aside money to fight Canelo for the WBC title.

- Realizing they have to pay another $300k to the WBC and you have to fight GGG anyway if you win.

Result

- Cotto is cornered, paid the 800k and also dropped the belt!! (also shat his pants).

Cott = biggest clown in boxing PERIOD!

The GGG-Cotto saga continues... My prediction is that Miguel Cotto uses his middleweight belt as leverage to get more money in the negotiations in his fight with Canelo. He weighed in at 154 against Geale so he clearly doesn't plan on becoming a true middleweight. If Cotto beats Canelo i think he will vacate the belt and look elsewhere for big money matchups that dont involve the Kazakh Destroyer. Hopefully soon we will hear news about what big matchups are coming up in the stacked middleweight division! #GGG #Cotto #Canelo #BoxingMemes #boxinghype #Golovkin #WBC #goodboyedits #Boxing

^^^^ this idiot thinks K2 and GGG accepted an IOU

LOLOLOLOL

After last nights exciting victory, GGGs main goal is to capture the remaining middleweight titles and fight big name boxers south of 168 lbs. Miguel Cotto fulfills both traits as he holds a piece of the middleweight title and has the name recognition which could propel Golovkin into super-stardom. However, Cotto would carry a size, power and age disadvantage if he were to step in the ring with GGG. Miguel Cotto has been in many wars with big punchers and a fight with GGG is the last thing he needs at this point in his career.

And they just couldn't wait until after the fight. Sulaiman trying to play mind games on Cotto, how cool. The only relevant belt in boxing is the Lineal one, so, the others can suck one.

Cotto-Canelo was sanctioned as a WBC title fight, so Cotto not paying his fee has nothing to do with Canelo's end. Technically Cotto has not been stripped, because there is still a pending sanctioned bout. The WBC is following the same protocol they would if a champ misses weight. He isnt technically stripped, but only the opponent can win the title.

Semantics......
