Cotto vs. Martinez - June 2014

[imp]

I like cotto.

But against floyd or trout the same thing happens again.

He should retire after a canelo or martinez fight as cotto takes alot of damage in his fights

So what. Trout and mayweather are the measuring sticks.

Canelo is another young gun with power that carries the weight better.

To talk about martinez that has an even greater weight advantage adds to the issue.

We all want to see cotto do well but the last fight was to just make roach look invincible again and stir up some hype to get cotto back in the mix again.

Cotto can look great at 147 and 154 against the right opponents.

True, but a lot of people here said Cotto was all done and Roach was a bad move. Many said Cotto would lose and be all done after this fight. I have not really been a big Cotto fan but I was very interested to see how he would fare in his return with Roach. Who knows how he will do as he gets back to high profile fights but I enjoyed the hell out of this fight. Probably because it was after watching one of the worst fights I have ever seen with the hugster Wlad, plus the Crawford fight wasn't that good either

Cotto needs a few more Rodriguez type opponents before stepping up for 1 last payday. Cotto is still a huge attraction and is good for boxing. Martinez will train his ass off and eventually get the late round ko in a fight that should not happen.

Call me crazy but properly trained by Roach, I think that Cotto executes Canelo with a severe punishment.

You are crazy. Sergio and Saul beat Cotto.

Cotto is already small for 147.. This fight is silly. Plus if Cotto is changing weight classes he's probably dropping down. Martinez should focus on his weight class with guys like GGG and Kid Chocolate around he is in no position to be acting like he has no more challenges in his weight. Especially after his last fight..

Either way Martinez by UD. In a fight that won't really matter.

Cotto and Roach called out Martinez after beating Rodriguez. While I think he was best at 140-147, Cotto has become a junior middleweight, as he has not fought at 147 in a couple of years.

As far as I know, Martinez has not acted like he has no challenges at his weight.

How can you say the fight won't matter? A Martinez-Cotto fight has been brewing for a few years now.

Considering your opinion of Cotto at 147, did you criticize Trout for fighting Cotto at 154?
