No announcement yet.
Loeffler said Cotto is the reason GGG isn't fighting Canelo in May

Might as well blame Mayweather and Pacquiao too, who knew they would decide to get together at that time and suck all the oxygen out of boxing for that time period. I am sure that had an effect on the desire for the WBC to push hard on their original plan rather than spread it out with that big fight later in the year.

So GGG v Jacobs first? Who's Canelo going to fight first?
In all honesty, I don't mind which part of 2016 this fight happens but it has to happen. None of this waiting 2 or 3 years.

Am I being thick or something?
Whilst Ward has defeated the likes of Froch and Kessler GGG has fought Willie Munson Jr and Rosado waiting for a chance to fight a shot Martinez, a faded Cotto and an unproven Canelo. Whilst rebuffing offers from the likes of Ward, Froch and DeGale.

Dude is literally wasting his career a la Ward, I fail to see what ggg has achieved in the two years Ward has been out of the ring. Ward is recognised as the no.1 in his weight class whilst ggg waits for a payday against a junior middle's who have never fought at 160, strange.

It seems like if Canelo would've fought Cotto in May and won Canelo could've made his voluntary in November and fought GGG in May 2016. So they were gonna give Canelo a voluntary from the beginning.
GGG only fighting 2 times next year is big news also. And also Loeffler doesn't plan on fighting a catchweight.

So if the fight had been in May and Canelo won, the plan all along was to let him have one defence before forcing him to fight them? Because that goes against a lot of the public comments that Loeffer was making back then about how the winner 100% definitely had to face GGG next for them to be OK with it.
