GGG now looks to be the best middleweight in the world

GGG is too much for Cotto. The Martinez win was impressive, but Sergio doesn't hit like GGG and isn't as physically imposing/strong. Canelo and GGG are bad style match ups for Cotto in my opinion. I would rather see Miguel fight a Floyd rematch or PAC rematch at this point.

Martinez is a southpaw. Hes a more difficult opponent than Golovkin and Alvarez who both shut up shop when pressured.

Based on what? I still do not see what all the fuss is about because who has this guy really beaten? I would rather see GGG vs Quillin for a legit shot at the champ.

I don't think the Martinez we saw last night is more difficult than Golovkin or Canelo. Sergio didn't make any excuses, but he definitely suffered from limited mobility, which is the trait he relied on the most. That fight would have gone much differently had Sergio been at full capacity with his knee. Cotto is too small and fragile for 160 and will always have a difficult time with mobile, slick boxers (Trout, Floyd, Shane when he boxed...etc.).

The biggest issue for Cotto at 160 is his durability and cardio vs. large, pressure fighters (why I think GGG kills him). In his fights vs. Clottey, Margarito and even Pac Man the pressure and pace had him wilting in the later rounds. I like Cotto, think he is a great fighter and true warrior, but I understand his size and style limitations. His best options in my opinion are to rematch Floyd or Manny (or both if he wins them) or take on Canelo at 154 (I think it will be a tough match up but winnable for Cotto). I would avoid GGG at all costs and will be surprised if Freddy and Arum let that particular fight happen.
