Martinez is looking for megafights and he wouldn't fancy a Cintron rematch anyways. There's no point in Cintron looking for a rematch at this juncture, realistically. FYI, he's been wanting Berto since his january. He's done everything to secure a match with berto but got declined. What's wrong with Carlos Molina anyways? He's actually a high risk/low reward opponent and Kermit deserves alot of credit for fighting him. As i said, he has to stick to reality and there's no point in calling out Pacquiao either right now. I bet he wouldnt think twice about accepting the fight it was offered to him though..

When Cotto was being spoon fed with gimmie fights and getting rocked by the Torres and the Corleys, Cintron risked himself against dangerous punchers like Reid and stepped up to Margarito in his very next fight, in 05. Cintron/Cotto pretty much started their pro career around the same time yet Cintron had the balls to fight a live body in 05..

Right now, Cotto is a borderline HOF..

Look I like Miguel Cotto. But he's never, not for one second even been THE MAN in the division he was in. HOF? He's nowhere close or the HOF has become the Hall of the good.
Hey, I agree with you. In a perfect world, Cotto is NOT a HOF but I say that he's a borderline because today's HOF has lost some of its prestige. Nowadays, undeserving fighters and lesser guys than Cotto have been inducted so based on that, we have to assume that he'll get into it too..
