Finally Rubio gets his shot And very likely ggg is getting the prestigious green belt , don't blame the WBC for pushing towards golovkin

Don't know whether this was for the current scene forum but Cotto won't fight GGG.

Cotto is a legend but I reckon he will fight Canelo first less risk much more $$$$$$$$$

:TU: I agree and I don't blame Miguel either, Canelo v Cotto would be a very big event, a really good fight and one Cotto has a chance in. Golovkin is too much.

Just replied to a post about this about this in CS.

Finally Rubio gets his shot?! He had his shot against Pavlik for two belts in 2009 (I've checked the record now) and was a comeback opponent for Pavlik after being whitewashed by Hopkins, and was not considered a good opponent even then.

He had another shot fighting Chavez jnr in 2012.

No disrespect to the guy but he is not a good opponent. This fight shows us nothing.

I don't see either Cotto or Canelo fighting GGG anyway and even if they do they are both too small. Who really thinks he wiould lose against either guy? They are both about 5'7". They are money fights for Golovkin but they are both too small how much credit would he really get? Golovkin should just move up. Middle weight is barren and a waste of time. These making time fights are pointless.
