Golovkin is Cotto's mandatory, Cotto is paying Golovkin step aside money to keep from getting stripped of his title, but the winner of Cotto/Alvarez will have to fight Golovkin. Golovkin will knock either one of them out. Cotto will give up his title rather than fight Golovkin, same with Alvarez.............
Cotto canello makes double the ggg fight makes,cotto will be by far and away the best fighter ggg has fought
I know you are new to this whole boxing thing, so I will give you a hand. http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Weight_divisions Cotto fights in the Middleweight division, and holds titles and belts thereof. He makes a public claim to being the Champion of said division. Historically, and in current practice - the socially acceptable, even expected path for fighters is to seek to enter into pugilistic bouts with those who hold world level titles of note within the division they fight. Regarding the topic at hand, Cotto makes a public claim to being the Middleweight Champion of the world based on his victory over the previously acclaimed MW Champion , one Sergio Martinez who earned credibility for his claim by defeating the previous MW Champion in one Kelly Pavlik, who earned his credibility to the claim by defeating one Jermain Taylor, who earned his claim by defeating one Bernard Hopkins, who earned his claim by defeating the holders of the titles issues by the major sanctioning bodies and was therefore Undisputed. Currently one Gennady Golovkin however also claims to be the best Middleweight fighter in world, based on repeated destruction of rated opponents and defending his singular title issued by one major sanctioning body. It is therefore meet and expected that Golovkin pursue a bout with the aforementioned Miguel Cotto to prove in definitive, violent fashion that Cotto's claims to being the best Middleweight are empty. Should said Miguel Cotto be too weak of knees and lily of liver to accept such a challenge to his claims, then all have a right, even an obligation to doubt said claims. On the other hand, should the aforementioned Cotto assess the situation and come to a conclusion that Golovkin is naturally too big and strong for a fair bout to be had then he is free to relinquish his Middleweight claims under no penalty of dishonor and would be encouraged to make claims of supremacy at a weight that naturally suits him and would result in fair and competitive match-ups.
I hope it is at 154 for Bundrage's IBF title if it does happen. Obviously I'm hoping and guessing this is either fake or an opening bluff in the negotiations for a super fight with Canelo.
Best name but not the best ROFL you ****ing fool cotto is not even a legit mw he would lose to many of the guys golovkin beat stevens,rubios,murray would all knock him out at 160
yeah, it's a joke, the lineal champion fighting the division's #2's leftovers and walking away from the camera when asked about his mandatory challenger, the said #2
This is going to backfire on Cotto one of these days. The only thing I can figure is that he's fulfilling the early part of his contract with Roc Nation and will end it with a bang. (Canelo, Golovkin) If not, this is sad.
There's a reason why this dude didn't cite any sources...he's full of ****. Cotto isn't fighting Bundrage and from what I've read, from actual reputable sources (ESPN, LA Times), there's a chance Cotto-Canelo gets finalized in the next couple of weeks.
Still far better than Willie Monroe, Rubio and the other hopeless bums GGG is feasting on. Bundrage can punch and has a very ugly/rough style. This will not be as easy as it looks on paper.
What is it you don't get ? Cotto beat THE MAN at 160,the one ggg didn't want schooling by. Why should cotto go thru the war for the title then just chose to give ggg a shot straight away ? He's not even a middleweight plus ggg can just go up to 168 then everyone's happy
