It's just odd to me because so many people were down on Martinez for wanting a fight with Cotto. The argument was Martinez was picking on smaller men. However, if Martinez goes up to 160 for a fight with Chavez Jr., that argument goes out the window. The WBC has stated that the winner of Chavez Jr./Zbik should fight Martinez. Zbik has signed on; Chavez Jr. has not. Chavez Jr. would have to relinquish his belt to fight Cotto so it wouldn't be for a belt at 160.
