Let's just pretend that Sergio wont be affected by major knee operations and 14 months inactivity..
How will Cotto deal with that?

if we are assuming that sergio's knees will be fine and that his inactivity hasnt ruined him too much, then he KO's cotto. but im guessing that sergio wont be at his best so i think that cotto has an alright chance.
Who's the biggest, hardest hitting guy Cotto has been able to consistently back up with effect...??? I really like Cotto...but this whole lead up is getting twisted.
Can't see Cotto stopping him. Martinez May fade late tho. I predict a very one sided victory for Martinez which will bring back his hype and put some perspective on Murray's performance in argentinaQuote:

Cotto is fighting for a place in boxing history, that will mean he will go all out for it. Sergio will be fit and strong by then as he is always in good condition. Sergio deserves the big pay days and i do not begrudge him these fights but eventually he will have to face GGG.
This fight works only on the wonder of how washed up Martinez actually is and how much he has left in the tank.
If this was 2010 Martinez, Cotto would get killed.
...and because it is not that Martinez, it makes the fight intriguing.Quote:

Hopkins v Pavlik was a schooling. Trout v Cotto was not. In addition, Trout and Martinez fight nothing alike.
Sergio is going to beat the shit out of cotto till he quits on his stool
A small welterweight vs a small middleweight. Cotto loses this one on sheer size disparity and Cotto's already scarred soft tissue but im praying Cotto pulls off a Miracle.
It might not of been a schooling. But really it wasn't that close of a fight. Especially the last 4 roundsQuote:

its an interesting question. i never thought that a fight with martinez would ever happen but i can see floyd taking a chance on the fight now depending on how martinez looks. if he goes out there and somehow looks like the martinez of old then maybe not, but if he beats cotto in a close fight then i can see mayweather taking the fight.
