Cotto ? ass might as well just came out and said "I can't beat GGG and will not fight him no matter what"
Just vacate the belt you holding ? hostage knowing you never plan on fighting the best fighters at 160. Cotto need to get the ? out the way -
I aint even watch the Khan fight
-
Khan could go with these fights
Marquez
Guerrero
Bradley
Brook
Broner
If he don't get floyd.
He needs to stay away from
Maidana
Thurman
These two will not show him any respect they will just look to knock him out.
He loses to all of them except Broner and maybe Brook -

Miguel Cotto Warns That It's Catch-Weight or No Fight
http://www.boxingscene.com/miguel-cotto-warns-its-catch-weight-no-fight--91753
By Miguel Rivera
WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32KOs) is not concerned with any weight related complaints that are coming from his opponents.
This Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Cotto will make the first defense of his world title against former champion Daniel Geale (31-3, 16KOs).
Last June, Cotto challenged Sergio Martinez for the WBC title with a catch-weight of 159-pounds in place. For the fight with Geale, a catch-weight of 157-pounds was demanded and set in motion.
Cotto was asked about the scenario of a potential opponent, like WBA/IBO champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin or otherwise, rejecting a catch-weight request.
"I had to do [a catch-weight] at this particular time and anyone who wants to fight me must accept a catch-weight or otherwise there is no fight," Cotto said.
Geale did not agree with Cotto's catch-weight demand, but he was forced to accept it or there wouldn't have been a fight.
“I have to be honest—if it’s not a title fight, then a catchweight is not a problem. But if you’re fighting for a middleweight title, then weight limit is 160 for that fight,” Geale said. “I find it funny. It should be at 160 but I’m not going to complain. -
What do yall think about Geale chances in this fight ?

Canelo not holding a belt hostage and how is he making a career off it
Cmon bro, that's hate for no reason

since he beat trout - ALL his fights were at a catch weight fam
he was a belt holder against mayweather - same thing, catchweight
i respect cotto and canelo - just wondering why no one in media treating cotto like they do canelo -

Mayweather requested the catchweight
And it was a disadvantage to Canelo
@wall cmon my ? , you can't see logic in that
It goes to my point with Khan, he don't have a title, who cares if he being picky with his opponents ...I've said that
If you think the middleweight champion saying "I'm not fighting at 160" and Canelo choosing to contractually come in at 155 for non title fights is the same...cool, you got a point -

this is where canelo put it out there he would fight at 150

i agree may took advantage of the situation and found a middle ground at 152 - but this was only because canelo choose to while the 154 champ
had he won, he would have been doing the same damn thing - his following fights prove this
so again - why people ? on cotto when canelo gets a pass -
I'm truly dumbfounded...you can't possibly think what your saying makes sense
He put his self at a disadvantage to secure a Mayweather fight
Cotto is telling MWs they can not come in at the weight his title is held if they want a shot -
if when canelo does it as champ 'to secure a fight'
cotto is doing it to 'protect his family and whats best for his career'
bottom line is they BOTH catch weight kings right?
