    You're an idiot.

    He'd be ducking GGG should he win and not fight GGG, but Canelo is the bigger fight. More people want to see it, it's in higher demand, and it makes Cotto a hell of a lot more money.

    GGG is riskier, but Canlelo is bigger. It makes sense to take Canelo first.

    He ain't avoiding GGG- that's the point :patsch

    He'd be taking the bigger fight. Both of them are high risk fights. One of them makes him way more money.

    I'm done talking to you. You're literally an idiot.

    cotto is the middleweight champ. ggg is a middleweight. canelo fights light middleweights. get your shi- straight. dont matter if he gets paid more to fight another one. hes still ducking him for an easier fight:deal

    Yes it would, IMO.

    Canelo v Cotto would likely do close to 700K buys, whereas GGG vs Cotto wouldnt do 500K. Close, but wouldnt quite get there IMO.:think

    And also the HBO guarantee $$$ would be higher for a Canelo fight as well.:think

    Nope. Canelo is a p4p star and is proven at a higher level than Golovkin. Canelo is actually the one man I think that could beat Golovkin. They'd be 50/50.

    If cotto faces either canelo or Golovkin next then it's likely to be his toughest ever fight, certainly not a duck.

    I think Pacquiao was his toughest fight, hands down. Golovkin I'd suspect to be harder though.

    I vote no on this. Canelo is a big big money fight. I dont call fighting for way more money ducking. I call fighting lesser opponents for same or less money ducking. If he fights Bradley on regular HBO for HBO money its a duck. GGG would fight on regular HBO with major concessions especially financially on their end.

    Fighting Canelo on PPV for much more money is not a duck. Plus he is a former champ at 154, who cant really make 154 easily anymore. So its not like hes fighting a nobody either. I am fine with Canelo fight, its respectable.

    Canelo is more accomplished than GGG at the moment.

    It's not a duck, not even close. Very risky fight, but tons of effectivo.

    I voted no, BUT if he want's to fight guys who are not Middleweights more than once, he should drop the MW title.

    It depends on how bad he wants to be beaten, if he wants to lose to the next big thing and possibly go the distance or be beaten into retirement and maybe a wheelchair by GGG for far less money. What would you choose, he probably comes out a far richer loser against Canelo.
