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

[QUOTE=Rantcatrat;1213481]

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.

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?[/QUOTE]

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.

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

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

That he's an opportunist thinkin he's catchin a vulnerable champ at the right time..

Martinez used to call cotto out constantly few years ago but got ignored... why is cotto getting brave now?

I dont know why some fans dont see this. Cotto aint fighting godzilla here..

It's still an extremely dangerous fight for Cotto, even if they have inside information that Martinez is in bad form after the injuries and layoff. Miguel is fighting a bigger man with KO power and faster hands who operates on a comparable skill level, and Cotto is past his best as well.

For this to be a competitive fight, imo, Cotto will have to be in much better form than he was against Trout, and Martinez will have decayed further than he showed in the Murray fight. Both quite possible, but it would detract from the fight as well.

Exactly, this is a real challenge for Cotto. He's a 5'7" blown up welter fighting for the middleweight championship against a very good champion. Neither man is in his prime either.

Come on Finito. All boxers are opportunists. Its part of their world and its more prevalent today then perhaps anytime in history. And I dont recall Sergio calling out Cotto ever and a few years ago he was still a welter. They are both damaged goods and this story has played out countless times. Even Robinson never fought one Murderers Row fighter until Wade and that was after Aaron had retired for close to 2 years. Leonard knew Duran was having weight issues and that's why he arranged the rematch for 6 months after the first.

I don't recall that either. But facts are besides the point here.

yet Canelo trying to get a fight against Cotto while Miguel is reaching the end of his career is a case of a young fighter looking for a tough fight right?! transparent as fuck dude
