I'm not sure about some of the reasoning in this thread but anyway I think its a good fight and I'd wager they would do it at a catch. I think Cotto has seen his best days but so has Martinez. A 3 inch height advantage is nothing. In addition Martinez is not some massive middle. Cotto has simply out grown 147. I only see him attempting it for one of the two money pits but then he might have to change trainers again. Funny cause Floyd has not and yet he's expected to fight Martinez or TripleG but that is another thread. Cotto pulled out all stops to win the fight with Delvin starting with the opponent and followed by yet another trainer change. If Cotto did not win that fight I honestly think that was it for him. Cotto would probably take the fight but I dont see Martinez doing it coming off another injury. I think we are far more likely to see Cotto/Alvarez.
