    Well instead of asking me that off topic question why don't you go & do your research & find out,

    It was Lou Dibella & company asking for a higher than usual purse when negotiating as the fight was close to being signed when GoldenBoy were in negotiations with them,

    I do remember Oscar quoted as saying they were asking too much financially & never were actually interested in actually fighting but that they wanted the IBF to intervene & strip them as i recall that Canelo was upset with GB Promotion's for their handling of the fight,

    And when asked Lou Dibella what happened he responded with nothing & said that he didn't want to comment on it so go figure,

    But you would know that if you payed attention & didn't need to come to me with all these questions pumpkin boy.

    Yet, there isn't a single noteworthy win in his record worth discussing. 90% of his title defenses he exploded into the arena as a 100/1 favorite or minimum 20/1.

    Does this mean Miguel Cotto will be remembered for winning more vacant titles than beating actual champions?

    Canelo himself knows he didn't legitimately ever really beat GGG

    Several of Canelo's so called "wins" were to put it politely " Very Suspect " not politely they were robberies

    People act like they wanted Golovkin to fight the same two guys five different times like a guy they call an a time great middleweight champion. But when you ask them what two guys it should have been, they never answer. Just like they never answer what two welterweights moving up to 160 should he have fought.

    We aren’t talking about Cotto, but he will be remembered for taking on all comers and even being lineal at 160, in contrast to GGG.

    I am talking about Cotto though. Did he or did he not win more vacant titles?

    Lineal 160 alone is more lineal titles than GGG.

    Guess who chose not to fight Golovkin when they were lineal champion(s)?
    And even then, did Cotto win more titles by beating the champion or by winning a vacancy?

    What was GGG’s 4th weightclass and did he achieve lineage there?

    He failed three times in bids for lineage.

    :lol: OK...another punk noob who equates moving up with "going for challenges"....

    Per NoBrain logic...Cotto must be greater than Hagler!!

    Hagler was lineal unlike GGG.

    You’ve never even put a pair of gloves on and certainly have no clue re: boxing.
