    Anyone else think Golovkin vs Cotto happens on December 2?

    I have a feeling this is going to happen...

    I think HBO pushes it and Cotto and Roach go for it.

    I don't think it ends well but I think Cotto and Roach are going to take the fight and dare to be great. I don't think they want to end Miguel career facing Lemieux who presents some problems but nowhere near the reward and respect a GGG fight brings.

    100% not happening. Tommy L was on Michael Woods podcast the other day & was saying GGG has had plans in place for months post-the Canelo fight & it wouldn't be reasonable for him to fight again in 2017. I believe he said February or March would be the earliest we'd see GGG.

    And personally I suspect GBP will either make the rematch for May thus a Feb. or March fight wouldn't make sense for GGG or they'll wanna marinate the rematch with a co-headlining PPV fight in May that hype a September rematch in typical boxing fashion.

      Golovkin wants to fight in December, Cotto an option
      date September 19th, 2017

      One option for Golovkin’s December fight is Miguel Cotto (41-5, 33 KOs). He’s supposed to be retiring after December, and he’s looking for a big fight.

      Cotto, 5’7″, would be giving away a lot of height, reach, weight and power to Golovkin. It would be a mismatch on paper and likely inside the ring. Cotto did look good in beating Yoshihiro Kamegai last month by a wide 12 round unanimous decision on August 26 to capture the vacant WBO junior middleweight title. Kamegai is not in Golovkin’s class, however. Beating a fighter like Kamegai doesn’t mean that Cotto will have a chance of defeating Golovkin.
