    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.
    Why would there be a need to build up a Canelo fight, but not a Cotto one? That's what confuses me.

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.
      Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking along these lines.

        I guess because the Cotto fight would have already been over a year in the making. The way he explains it sounds like the plan all along was to allow Canelo a voluntary defense if he won in May.

                  If he believes Cotto would even get in the same area code as GGG, then he's lost his mind. Perhaps he was just being polite......lol

A competitive fight/s and I will begin to take an interest in his fights, DeGale, Ward, the other title holders at 168 for instance.

                    So basically you're saying he's so good that he needs to fight someone 8 lbs heavier then him to prove how good he is?
