    Gotta see how it plays out, Cotto's reason for not yet fighting GGG is the same as his not fighting Lara/Ward not enough money. Only difference is Cotto is taking a bigger fight than a GGG bout while Golovkin is taking lesser fight's.

    I'm surprised you haven't accidentally killed yourself shaving or something.

    Ward is about to get his block knocked off by Kovalev.

    Me personally I have Canelo beating Cotto & Golovkin so I don't really care how it plays out. I'm just saying looking at Cotto's MW fights it's hard to scream duck.

    Alvarez is more popular, has a better resume, and has actually looked to challenge himself(that's not a duck that's a better opponent)
    Geale was a tuneup vs a then top 5 MW who is also GGG's best win(not 100% a duck)
    Martinez the true MW Champ(1st fight in the division).

    Cotto probably is ducking considering it's his 4th division, but at this point I don't think it should be considered a duck yet.

    His health comes first. That's why.

    Cisco, let me ask you a question, why don't you make any posts or threads bashing Cotto and Canelo for ducking GGG (which you admit they'll do)? You seem to be quite selective.

    Wait! There are actually people who still believe GGG will land a shot with Cotto or Canelo?

    How is Cotto fighting Alvarez getting a pass when Alvarez has the better resume and is more popular?

    alvarez does not have a better resume than cotto.. did you just make that up? a win over canelo is pretty good, but it isn't a better win than golovkin

    GGG just wants the title thats the main thing even if he does not fight them as long as he gets the title its a win
