He could fight Floyd again??

i can't stand Cotto so I hope he fights either of the above and gets KO'd

Fairly poor options for Cotto there. GGG would absolutely take him apart and I'd definitely favour Canelo to beat him as well. No disrespect to Cotto.

Maybe Cotto will relinquish his middleweight title if/when he beats Geale and then fight Floyd in September.

What if Cotto beats Beale though ? Would the WBC allow Cotto to fight Floyd in a title fight or will he have to fight either GGG or Canelo if he wants to hold onto his WBC title ?

I can see Floyd fighting Cotto in September because who else will Floyd fight ? Probably nobody at Welterweight if he's relinquishing his titles.

Yeah fair enough. Canelo will beat Cotto so an eventual middleweight unification bout between Canelo and GGG is very mouthwatering.

Interesting. I can understand Oscar wanting to protect Canelo, he's still young. I don't anyone stands a chance against GGG right now.

So Cotto against GGG next then I suppose, assuming Cotto beats Geale. Golovkin definitely wants that WBC belt.

Is Golovkin not Cotto's mandatory? So he'll need to drop his belt if he fights Canelo.

I can see Cotto vs Canelo though because GGG would waste both of them and they know it.

Cotto vs Canelo. GGG would destroy him with that punch power. Would be uncomfortable viewing.

Watched the Canelo – Kirkland fight yesterday, very entertaining. Is Demetrius Andrade in the picture to fight these guys? Only seen him once (battering Brian the lion)..

Cotto’s long in the tooth now & been in a few wars. I can’t imagine he’d be interested in GGG, he'd get hurt, as would Canelo at this point. If the Canelo fight is the more lucrative then I think we’ll see that, I’d back Canelo to win it too.

Is Golovkin not Cotto's mandatory?

---------------------------

Yes I believe so.

Nobody wants to fight GGG at the moment and I fully understand why. Cotto has never been known as a ducker but he can't fancy his chances at all against Golovkin, especially with such a size difference.

At the same time Cotto can't hang on to that WBC belt indefinitely. Maybe losing to Geale in June would be a right let off for him.

Cotto is the one guy I'd give a pass on avoiding Golovkin. He's fought everyone and is now coming to the end of his career, no point in getting his face caved in. But, in that case, just drop the belt so Golovkin can finally fight for it. It's long overdue and it's ridiculous how long he's been waiting for a shot.

As for Cotto vs Canelo, I can't see past a Canelo win. Cotto's on the way out and will get beat if he goes in against any top guy, he's had a good career though and would be a good fight to finish it

Canelo, being the bigger, faster, and younger fighter would definitely have the edge on Cotto but I think it'd make for an interesting and entertaining fight.

I've always liked Cotto so don't want to see him getting hurt by going in with GGG.

I think if he fights Canelo it'll be his retirement fight for one last big payday, whether he wins or loses.
