I hope Sergio smashes baby boy Cotto into retirement.
Respect Cotto for taking the dangerous fight.
Bullshit.
He's fighting a 39 year old champ who, while once an amazing talent, has been plagued with knee injuries over the last few years, hasn't fought in over a year and looked like he had declined considerably in his last outing.
Cotto is trying to take advantage of a once great champ who (seemingly) is ripe for the picking. And what's more, he wouldn't even fight him at his weight class.
I hope he gets sparked.
Let's not get over dramatic. Cotto is fighting at middleweight, against the champion and is the under dog going into the fight. Respect. :cool:
This would probably be the only fight in cottos career that he's taken advantage of something like that. But he 5'6 going to 160/159 he's small for 154 he's a dwarf at 160. So in reality it's also Martinez taking advantage of cottos courage wouldn't you say? He's picking on the little guy. So I don't see how cotto is taking advantage of him. Mayweather could fight Martinez or JCC could rematch him or GGG or canelo could but no one else is taking the risk cotto is taking. How is cotto a bitch? I hope cotto sparks Martinez and lands a mayweather rematch. That would be wonderful.
Good post and I agree. But why let facts get in the way of hate?
For the record, I'm also a big Martinez fan and have the utmost respect. But people have a way of conveniently skewing the facts and ignoring everything else. Cotto was small for 154. He's now challenging a totally recuperated Martinez at 160 (fuck the 1-lb catchweight non-issue... it's not like every fighter and their brother don't play around with weights). It's an uphill battle all the way. But somehow Cotto is taking advantage of Martinez??

If Floyd fought the winner of Martinez-Cotto and won, where would you rank him all time?
I think Floyd would be favored over everyone from 130 to 154.

He is. Hes head and shoulders ahead of them. If Lara schools Alvarez, do you think Floyd would foght Lara? Given Lara is quite low profile and his style would prob make for a dull fight, even for a Mayweather fight.
