Miguel Cotto on Sergio Martinez

[Rantcatrat]

So Cotto is basically saying he isnt interested in being the best he only wants to make money?! He sounds like Pac and Floyd. The business man mindset has overtaken the sportsman in him.

Part of me wants to see Marg finish what he started but then again I wouldnt mind seeing Cotto get revenge after the Mexican cheated in the 1st fight. Either way neither of these guys are going to go on and win any big fights.

They're all in it for the money. Name one figher who isn't.

Cotto has consistently fought elite competition, his resume is outstanding.

Ofcourse everyone is in it for the money but there are still afew old school fighters who want to fight the best. Martinez is the best. Cotto shouldnt make money his excuse.

and apart from maybe 2 fights, when hasn't Cotto fought a top 10 guy?

That's true although I haven't been overly impressed with his selection of opponents as a junior middleweight considering how deep of a division it is.

Well in his defense his first fight back after the Pacquiao loss and his first fight at 154 was against Foreman who was undefeated at the time and was coming off of his best performance against Santos, although he was a pillow puncher he had plenty of skill and many on here were picking him over Cotto. After the death of his father and the shoulder surgery well he took the rest of the year off and took on a gimme in Mayorga, but he did what he was supposed to which was hand out a one sided ass whooping and well finished him off in the 12th.

Now he's up against Margarito in the rematch, but yea i agree after he beats Margarito in the rematch (and i'm pretty damn sure he will break Margo's eye), he needs to step it up and fight Angulo and the rest of the big names at 154. IMO a Cotto/Alvarez fight would be huge and like i said in another thread he easily outboxes the kid even possibly stops him in the mid to late rounds.
