Good for Golovkin if this happens. Floyd wins, vacates belt, Golovkin becomes number 1 and true champion in his next fight. I'm more bothered about Triple G being given the chance to rule then Floyd v Pac. Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to the WW superfight but I look forward to seeing Golovkin atop the rankings more.
Huh oh! Beware the strong chatter! Ain't no contracts been signed. No official announcement made. But we've got the ever reliable strong chatter to lean on.
Gross. The first fight was fine but a rematch is unnecessary. Unnecessary AND kills the Cotto / Canelo fight. AND we fans get left with...what? A reheated serving for one of Floyd's last fights? He's one of the best to ever lace them up and this is how he's spending the end of his career? Two Maidana fights and a rematch with Cotto? As always though we should reserve judgement until it's official but damn -- if it's true -- then that's really not cool.
A rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. is “probably the biggest fight out there” for Miguel Cotto if the Puerto Rican star’s*talks*failed to produce a May 2 bout against Canelo Alvarez. That’s what Cotto’s adviser, Gaby Penagaricano saidduring an interview with RingTV.com last month. “We’re interested. If we end up not fighting Canelo because we can not agree on terms, then everything is on the table – and that includes Mayweather, if we can make a deal. No opponent is off the table,” said Penagaricano at the time in regard to Cotto, who lost a majority decision to Mayweather in May 2012. “I haven’t discussed with Miguel that, ‘If we cannot make a deal with Canelo, would Floyd be next?’ But obviously, I know Miguel and he’s made it very clear that he would only be interested in the biggest fights possible. So obviously, the Mayweather fight is probably the biggest fight out there. Again, I have not spoken to Miguel about it but I would think that if the Mayweather fight was available, that he would be interested in it.”
