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.
