Cotto finally has an opponent for June 6th. Cotto will fight Daniel Geale at Barclays Center at a catchweight of 157. Even though Cotto is the middleweight champion he has never fought at the middleweight limit of 160 (this is boxing, don’t try to figure it out).
If Cotto beats Geale and Canelo beats James Kirkland on May 9th they will then meet sometime in the Fall according to ESPN.
The recognized middleweight champion GGG once again will be out of the loop in his quest to unify the belts.
