Cotto is not a MW Champ

[Beanz]

Cotto is the middleweight champion, he took the risk of being brutalised by Sergio when others did not. I bet the others are regretting that now.

That is not strictly true. I am sure there was a pretty long line of middleweights willing to fight Martinez but Sergio chose to fight Cotto. Murray would certainly have rematched Martinez, Golovkin would have loved the chance to fight Martinez, Geale would have fought Martinez but Cotto brought the Dollar, and Martinez fought him.

True but Murray had his chance and did not take it, Geale lost his title to Barker, GGG is beating the rest.

Yes I know what you mean and I am not saying that Cotto did not take his chance as any fighter would, but there are quite a few middleweights who have fought most of their career at that weight, who would have given anything to have the opportunity to fight the man (Sergio)at middle. It's not Cottos fault but for them and us as fans it sucks.
