    But obviously you'd prefer he didn't make the business move.

    You'd prefer him to make the fight now.

    everybody,including mexican fans want to see canelo fight the mysterious European ko artist that he gave up his belt rather than face.that bothers the mexican fans alot.without realizing it,canelo giving up the belt was the biggest publicity stunt they could have come up with.other fans around the world will want to see canelo and goldenboy face their fears.

    I wouldn't watch cotto vs Canelo on pbc.

    Cotto has been washed up since the Austin trout fight. Id rather see a rematch between trout and cotto. Canelo cotto was a glorified sparring match and quite possibly one of the most boring fights I've ever sat thru

    People are fooling themselves if they think Nelo-GGG outsells Nelo-Cotton. It's just not realistic at all, I've seen more build up and promos for GGG-Lemmy than I seen for May-Pac and Cotton-Nelo combined. It was supposed to be a fight between 2 hard hitting Middleweight champions with an extremely high KO percentage fighting in a unification. There was so much hype for that fight and to think it only sold 150k or less buys just goes to show that GGG isn't a PPV draw.

    GGG shot himself in the foot trying to become the Bum King, I've predicted his career to a tee in the "Why Is GGG Wasting His Time Fighting Tomato Cans" back in early 2015. 2017 is almost here and nothing has changed. His career will continue to be a joke until he stops waiting for handouts.

    Cotton has been damaged goods since the brick beating he received from Margarita back at 147. He's had more beatings than a 19th century Irish house wife after that incident.

    Yet even now, I'm sure GGG and the Bumluvkinite's would love that fight to materialize. Midgets, has beens, bums and prospects are what the Bum King is known for. Sometimes, he fights a combination of the above 4.

    Pacquiao-Canelo, Canelo-Cotto, Mayweather-Canelo II, Canelo-Chavez Jr are bigger in my eyes.

    Was just asking for your view though

    Although it's the biggest match-up for the near future, it really is a small event due to Golovkin being a nobody and Canelo only having a mostly mexican fanbase.
    Neither fighter is made of the stuff to create a mega-fight because only Canelo has actually fought Elite and A-level opponents, while Golovkin has fought only bums and b-level mediocre MWs.
    Canelo-Little g is a NASCAR like event.

    Kovalev Vs Ward is actually a bigger fight for true boxing fans.

    I'm not going to entertain your stupidity. You said it..Liam Smith would be 3G's most credible opponent. Live with that stupid statement ASOL....

    Nah. Ward-Kovalev is bigger. That's US vs the Commies. America vs Putin.
    Goodness vs evil. Hot dogs vs caviar.

    GGGG vs Canelo would be big if either had a big win vs a seriously awesome opponent. Like if
    Canelo had beaten Floyd or GGG beat Froch. Beating up the Liam Smiths and Martin Murray's of the
    world doesn't get anybody excited.
