Martinez starches Cotto inside 6 and proves only that Cotto's face can look terrible when he's taken one too many shots.
Besides Pacman, there's no one else that can do justice to martinez career right now. Unless he step up to supermiddle. Ward or Dirrell. And we all know Dirrell is past his 90 days of rest(ha ha ha).

Who else should he fight? Martinez's camp needs to push the envelop and get fights now knowing Martinez is already alluding to retiring.
Inside the last year or two, boxing has become all about Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather and who they are gonna fight. So you say that the only decent fight out there for Martinez, if not Pac or Mayweather is a fight against Cotto. This, IMO, discredits lots of other fighters out there, and boxing for me does not revolve around two fighters. On the Pound 4 Pound list it might do. There are plenty of fighters out there to face, although they might not be million dollar fights, if we take that stance that a fight is only worth having its its worth all the Benjamins, then that will certainly be of great detriment to boxing as a whole, as it just freezes out anyone who isn't on top of the world.
