TripleG’s Got Next – And Neither Fighter Really Wants Him

Genady Golovkin, aka Triple G. He’s the owner of two of the four middleweight belts. More importantly he has been tearing through every opponent in his division. It’s been very reminiscent of a young Mike Tyson when he cleaned up the heavyweight division. Triple G wants the winner of Cotto-Canelo. Having been a mandatory contender for Cotto, he allegedly accepted a step-aside fee rumored to be in the seven-figure range so that Cotto-Canelo could face off. The winner is set to face Triple G next. However, don’t be surprised if that does not happen. Cotto has been noncommittal at best about such a bout. While we think Canelo would be game, his camp has also been uncharacteristically silent on the matter.
