If you're the middleweight champ and you're promoting yourself as middleweight champ and your promotional company advertises you as middleweight champ and the commissions sanction the fight for the middleweight championship then you best be allowing your opponent to weigh in as a middleweight!!!
If you want to win the middleweight title but have no interest in defending the middleweight title against a middleweight fighter who is allowed to weigh in at the middleweight limit then give up the title!
Cotto has used the middleweight strap as a bargaining position to secure a good payday against Canelo. Canelo was arguing for a larger slice of the pie but Cotto holding a belt stops that card being used by Alvarez.
GGG has carried on earning and beating true middleweights so his career has not stalled. Cotto is making the most amount of money he can before he leaves the game. In this aspect he has not done anything out of the ordinary to maximise his income.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
