    Setting aside the promotional companies and the networks,,... First there's Lara who will beat Canelo,, second there's Cotto.... Third there's Mayweather.... What I really want is Golovkin vs Ward..... Make that fight happen!!

    Sounds like you just answered your own question.
    unless the "cold war" ends, the only way it happens is if Canelo did what Erislandy Lara wouldn't do:
    1. Leave GBP(not happening)
    2. Move to 160 and get in position for a mandatory shot at GGG's WBA belt
    3. Move to 160 and grab another belt and hope HBO makes an exception for title unification(possible if he fights Cotto)

    It will be interesting to see what happens with Canelo-Cotto, providing Canelo beats Lara.
    Is Cotto officially with Top Rank long term or just a fight by fight basis?

    I really think Cotto will fight Floyd and not Canelo. Cotto is still free agent.

    Canelo is faster, stronger, quicker, fought better opposition, has more heart, and got more balls than GGG.

    He'd tear GGG's ass up

    I think they will fight, Canelo is an Oscar guy. When Canelo wants the fight the fight will get made. I have heard that he does actually want the fight, at the right time.

    The biggest obstacle here is not promoter but TV and sponsors. Buuuuutt... same issue is in play with potential Cotto fight. Cotto his indicated he plans to finish his career with HBO. So will Canelo jump to HBO PPV for certain fights? If he does to fight Cotto, smart money says he eventually fights Golovkin.

    GGG being contracted to fight on HBO makes fights against Lara, Canelo and May weather tough to make.

    They are all Showtime fighters.

    stronger? you're an idiot, but we all know that. golovkin has more power, stamina, talent and just as big a heart. i'm not sure canelo is faster either, pretty close. you're the one without any balls, chump.
