Re: Cotto vs Heiland. Thats respectable imo for an optional
Looks like it will a rematch of the gimpy version of Martinez, based on Heiland's style. I wont say its a horrible fight and we should force him to fight Golovkin just so Golovkin doesn't have to fight the Monroe jr.s of the world but... it just looks obvious now that Cotto wants to make money up till the last second before GGG is forced on him.
It wouldn't bother me as much if these A side/ B side whiners did so without twisting the rules and stifling the sport. If your as popular as you say, you don't need the belt. So lay the strap down and let the people who value it, fight for it and fulfill their destiny. Which is what the sport used to be about.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
