The posters arguing Cotto has fought the best are completely right. Why does Cotto get crap for not taking any fight? He has fought more top 10 guys in their respective divisions than almost anyone in the sport.
Indeed. If you fight Manny Pacquiao then your not afraid of fighting any one.
I would like to see Martinez clean up the devision by fighting Felix Sterm and then leave the reasonably weak middleweight devision and move either up or down depending on who he wants to fight.
Go up a devision and fight Ward or Bute.
Go down a devision and fight Cotto, Angulo or Alvarez.
He could go down a devision and Mayweather of Pac go up a devision and meet half way if he really wants a challange.
Dont know if pac can go up any more devisions though. You can only put on so much weight before you start slowing down.
