    So not only does Cotto prevent GGG unifying the middleweight belts but then he goes on and throws a stick into the spokes of negotiations for the biggest fight in boxing right now.

    Congratulations Miguel, masterclass in getting the average boxing fan onside

    Aren't you making Cotto a little too responsible for the current state of boxing as a whole? I mean.... Cotto might find your words flattering in an amusing sort of way.... but he's not the center of the boxing universe. His focus appears to be on not caving to Ginger's demands, which as I have stated before is a bit ludicrous when you consider that of the Big Four (Floyd-Pac-Cotto-Canelo), Alvarez is the one with the lesser resume by far. The rest of the shenanigans going on around him, well..... everyone else is accountable for their own actions and decisions. Is Cotto now to blame because poor GGG doesn't have anyone to fight?
    C'mon..... get real.

    The more childlike tactics Canelo and his team (including DLH) use to try and force Miguel's hand and cave to their demands, the more I'm glad Cotto is digging in and being stubborn. Let Pac and Floyd figure their own shit out, ffs. And if Floyd decides he'd rather face Cotto in a rematch, then so be it. Frankly I'd rather see Floyd finally face Pac, but that's up to the fighters to decide. If I'm Cotto, I'm not turning down an opportunity to rematch Floyd.

    Forget them both. If they can not make the fight then whatever fight they do have should not be ppv unless it it better than canelo v cotto.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Real shame that, it would have been a great fight. If mayweaher fights Cotto would it be for the WBC 160 belt?

    It's pretty obvious Cotto would rather take the L against Mayweather than to take the L and a beating against Alvarez.

    If I was cotto I would prefer to fight the p4p king and not Canelo who arguably lost every big fight he's been in.
