Well said. Picking on a handicapped man is usually resented in society, but in boxing it somehow becomes a defining moment. What utter tosh. From round 1 we saw the situation and fair play to Martinez on going that long, but shame on Cotto, who clearly knew the deal. He boxed well etc, but face a MW and see what happens.
C'mon now stumpy...
Pacman made a career out of picking on handicapped fighters.

At least Martinez had a LICENSE..
How he got that license is questionable though. Even before the KD's Martinez was badly off. I haven't seen such a decline since Ali. At least fighters like Toney had the basics to hide and delay the decline. With Martinez it was decline of the legs and thus no decent punches nor combos at any stage. It isn't because Cotto is that good.

Cotto is good though, but not that good. If you are asked to beat a washed up old man you will, but it isn't a best win by any shot.
