    In what aspects is Cotto far better than martinez? If you mean a resume then I would agree with you but in terms of skill I think they are very different from each other and can't really be compared.

    Now I undrestand that in boxing the best way we can judge a boxer's skillset is looking at his resume of fights but you must also grant me this fact that there are many boxers who are very talented and yet if you go by their fight records nothing would stand out.

    I think a match up with Martinez or Pacquiao would be truly great. However the back and forth with Pacquiao's camp, for whatever reason it ( don't want to get into the blood test who' dodging who discussion here) did not come through and its just tiring.

    He has vastly superior craft and ring smarts, is more accurate and has a wider array of punches, much better defence.. Martinez is bigger stronger and faster and may beat Cotto at this point, but he is not on the same level as a boxer. If you take away the spectacular KO of Paul Williams (AKA a spectacular KO waiting to happen) I see no reason people would praise Martinez the way they do. The man is very beatable imo.

    I can't believe people would rather see Floyd retire than fight anyone other than Pac

    It's the fight we all want to see, but some of us may never see a fighter of Floyd's level again in our lifetimes. As much as I think he is a bit of a dick, I always feel very lucky to be able to watch him live

    Same here, I don't even mind risking seeing PAC lose to Mayweather no shame on that Manny is a legend and ATG regardless. We just want to see this fight happen soon. Saying that ofcourse I want to see Manny whoop Floyd
