Cotto & the WBO are a joke

[Cuerno De Chivo]

WBO is the worst boxing sanctioning organization. WBO is corrupt and their rankings are ****. Basically the WBO is a HBO belt.

&

Cotto is a con artist living of his past similar to Khan(& please don't compare Pacquiao situation to Cotto because Pac is fighting a ranked undefeated untested boxer in his home country instead of Cotto fighting a journeyman). He should retire soon or don't bum pick for gift belts & fight top tier competition.


Cotto should be fighting the likes of Andrade, Lara, Soro, or even Omar Chavez(who is coming off a big win).

WBO is for Bob Arum and Frank Warren fighters. I'd love the dealings between wbo & top rank - or wbo & Queensberry Promotions - to be made public.

Anyone know of any other promoters in bed with alphabet orgs apart from mentioned above?

it's like wbc and chavez sr..:

Cotto is 37 on a long layoff coming off a loss. He's done. This being for a title is a joke, but that's happened before in the past with big names. It's obvious after the Canelo fight he was done taking on really tough guys.

Lol Omar Chavez! Lol! Lol! Lol!

The only thing that comes close is the WBC and Don King

All the abc groups f#cking suck. I can't honestly say that any one move or a bunch of moves makes one the worst abc group cuz I believe all these groups existing right now is a bigger problem than any particular move they can make & one could argue that makes one specific abc group the worse. That move isn't the worst thing about them...its the fact they all exist in the first f#cking place that's the worst thing.

The problem with todays boxing scene is there's always a vacant belt a big name fighter can fight for, regardless of if they've done anything to deserve a shot or not.

I'll give Cotto credit for this, after he was boxings next big thing and got beat up by Antonio Margarito I thought he was done, but he's done well to come back and have a respectable career after that, and still be around today.

This is a business first and foremost. The WBO sanctioned this fight because Cotto is well known and they get to put their sanctioning fees on the fight, which I believe is a certain percentage as oppose to a flat fee. So would they rather have 2 nobodies fighting for their belt who will only bring in $2k (example) in sanctioning fees or a popular name like Cotto and have $20k (example) in sanctioning fees? Does Cotto or Kamegai deserve to fight for a title, probably not, they have not done anything to deserve it. Cotto is ranked #1 and Kamegai at #5 so it is a great opportunity for both. The only other well known ranked fighter at that weight is Jermall Charlo and he is sitting at #10.
