Comments Thread For: WBC Derecognizes Cotto; Title Only At Stake For Alvarez

[The Big Dunn]

At first, I was all like...

The WBC hereby announces that effective immediately has withdrawn recognition of Miguel Cotto as WBC World Middleweight Champion.

But then, I was all like....

If Saul �Canelo?Alvarez wins the fight against Cotto, he will be recognized as the WBC middleweight world champion.


This shit is like dividing by zero.

Yeah this was weird.

Good for Cotto, he knows he can't beat the real champ, GGG, so mine as well end this charade of people thinking he's actually a middleweight champ.

[Dr Rumack]

Only right that Margarito gets to fight for the vacant title.

[Da Boxer]

yeah the guy who stockpiled VACANT belts thru cherrypicked title fights don't give a crap about his only legit belt.

after canelo lights him up, cotto will go after a 154 paper belt.

*** off hater! Canelito will get his chit pushed in by #KingCotto #dealwithit #punk !

But isn't that the same thing Canelo did?......

Smart move. Winning and pulling a Bowe sure will look a lot worse.

[M Bison]

Oh yes!!
I hope you ain't feeding me a lie, I'm happy Canelo agreed to it and wasn't a poosay like Cotto, I'm sorry Cotto fans but the dude went to middleweight and refused to fight the real champion whilst fighting a past in Martinez and Geale at 160 then 157 that is some b.s that's hard to defend.

War Canelo

everyone forgets trout.

left hooks thrown by Cotto in the 1st round of the trout fight: 16

left hooks thrown by Cotto in the 1st round of the rodriguez fight: 25 in the martinez fight 23 in the geale fight: 21

Yup..... cuz stylistically he doesn't fight the same.


but you can go ahead and keep trolling along.

Four days before the opening bell sounds, the biggest fight to grace the second half of the 2015 boxing schedule finally has a fresh story line.

It�s not an uplifting theme, as the World Boxing Council (WBC) has chosen to derecognize Miguel Cotto as its middleweight champion. The Mexico-based sanctioning body made the announcement Tuesday, coming days before his November 21 showdown with Saul �Canelo?Alvarez, which airs live on HBO Pay-Per-View from Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

�After several weeks of communications, countless attempts and good faith time extensions trying to preserve the fight as a WBC World Championship, Miguel Cotto and his promotion did not agree to comply with the WBC Rules & Regulations, while Sa�l Alvarez has agreed to do so,?noted WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman. �Accordingly, the WBC must rule on the matter prior to the fight.
