    You're crazy, didn't you just see Oscar say Canleo isn't ready for MW yet? The only way this fight will happen will be if GGG agrees to come down to whatever weight Canelo requests it won't be at 160 in May you're delusional if you believe that.

    I'd love to agree with you but the fact that they're so eager to strip someone when a fighter doesn't pay yet allow **** through when it suits their business doesn't exactly speak highly of them.

    It goes to show where their interests lie.

    Actually, it has everything to do what you said.

    You did say this, didn't you?
    "Nothing looks worse than a fighter not willing to fight their mandatory and it is why the mandatory was created in the first place so people can't duck."

    I told you so:hey Just turns out they did it earlier than I expected, so they get even extra brownie points from me.

    OK. You got me there, abuffy! :cheers

    But I still don't think this means much beyond Cotto's refusal to pay a sanctioning fee.

    Either that, or someone sent my "Ode to Gennady" to Mauricio, and he was filling the pressure. :D

    But the best should just go to Golovkin then he is the interim champion.

    Roc Nation fighters: Ward, Rigondeaux and Cotto, all lose their belts within 4 week span.
    Some kind of record.
