Cotto got schooled by Trout.. how will he deal with Sergio

[Silkeyjoe]

Let's just pretend that Sergio wont be affected by major knee operations and 14 months inactivity.. <br />
<br />
How will Cotto deal with that?

<br />
<br />



You can't pretend bro, that's what's great about boxing. Cotto comes out strong and if Martinez has the legs he will find a way around the attack and beat Cotto from the outside. If he doesn't and tries to fight Cotto the way he did against Chavez in the 12 round...night night Martinez

Can't see Cotto stopping him. Martinez May fade late tho. I predict a very one sided victory for Martinez which will bring back his hype and put some perspective on Murray's performance in argentina

Cotto is fighting for a place in boxing history, that will mean he will go all out for it. Sergio will be fit and strong by then as he is always in good condition. Sergio deserves the big pay days and i do not begrudge him these fights but eventually he will have to face GGG.

This fight works only on the wonder of how washed up Martinez actually is and how much he has left in the tank.

If this was 2010 Martinez, Cotto would get killed.

...and because it is not that Martinez, it makes the fight intriguing.

Yep. That's what the fight has going for it.

Martinez will have to face GGG eventually. But, Martinez has been out since 2012. GGG didn't really come into his own until beating Macklin and Stevens. It's not like Martinez has been avoiding him, as he hasn't fought due to injury since the Murray fight.

In his defense, Martinez had called for a Cotto fight long before Cotto-Trout or Cotto-Mayweather. If anyone around that weight class deserves a Cotto fight, its Maravilla.

If he beats Cotto though, will he earn himself a fight with Floyd?

Hopkins v Pavlik was a schooling. Trout v Cotto was not. In addition, Trout and Martinez fight nothing alike.

[g3org3]

Sergio is going to beat the shit out of cotto till he quits on his stool

[Pavlik]

A small welterweight vs a small middleweight. Cotto loses this one on sheer size disparity and Cotto's already scarred soft tissue but im praying Cotto pulls off a Miracle.

It might not of been a schooling. But really it wasn't that close of a fight. Especially the last 4 rounds

its an interesting question. i never thought that a fight with martinez would ever happen but i can see floyd taking a chance on the fight now depending on how martinez looks. if he goes out there and somehow looks like the martinez of old then maybe not, but if he beats cotto in a close fight then i can see mayweather taking the fight.

cotto by KO

Who are the top fighters Cotto has knocked out. If he's going to win it'll be on points or via injury

[Rantcatrat]

Cotto is no bigger than Floyd. What does it say about Cotto if he faces Martinez before Floyd does?
