funny how K9 has said nothing about this..neither did DLH..read the article! you guys hop on anything, sometimes im ashamed of boxing fans! cant just wait till anything if finalized! "Mayweather-Cotto 2 will happen May2" just let them get a deal done and stop making BS threads
I hope Cotto vacate the belt and fight in a more suitable weight class, for the belt of K-9 He just took the fight with Martinez to make history and have the better payment available at that time, He is not a ****ing middleweight He is not even a true jr middleweight, people tend to forget that the mayority in this forum critize Cotto for moving up in weight to chellenge Yuri Foreman and now are critizising Cotto for not fighting GGG one of the strongest middleweight in recent history. Cotto vacate and fight K-9 and Canelo and go for Floyd if you want or retire and the ignorant fake boxing fans STF and push for a better fight in GGG vs Froch, Quillin or Ward. If Pirog was active that could be a heck of a fight. Fake fans wants GGG vs Floyd , Pac or Cotto one a natural welterweight and the other two are blown up lightweights.
If this is indeed true, then boxing has become a mainstream idiot's sport. How to become as undisputed champ in today's boxing...............land a $$ fight with an injured "champ" and win, so you can defend solely against fighters in lower weight classes instead of fighters in your own weight class. If fans are sick of this sh-t then boycott this fight, so when HBO shows low ratings they won't let these fights happen anymore.
People should be angry at WBC, not Cotto, he is simply doing what they are allowing him to do. Same with WBA. They are just whack and greedy. WBC should have set a deadline for Cotto's voluntary fight and force the winner to face GGG this summer. Instead we get this ****.
Cotto doesn't have to do what the WBC allows him to do. There's no way a bundrage fight will make as much $$ as a GGG/Cotto fight. Cotto has an obligation as a sportsman to defend against the #1 guy at his weight class if he is to be considered the champion in that division. Otherwise, he's just a businessman like Floyd and not a fighter.
So you are glad that he is fighting a complete joke instead of a guy who would be way more worthy? But I get it. If you lost to Trout, Lara is just the last opponent you'd like to face. After Golovkin of course. The 159lbs champion is looking for a way out.
