Cotto-Martinez being thrown around as a possibility

Well Martinez did say he could make 154 or 155 for Pacquiao and Mayweather, hell why not make it for Cotto? They're both free at this moment. And it would be a very interesting fight. I would slightly favor Martinez in this one, but it's not a gimme.

Not going to happen. I guarantee Cott's next fight will be against Margarito either Cinco de Mayo weekend in Vegas or NYC for Cotto's usually PR weekend fight. That has been Arum's trick for 5 years now and I don't see it changing.

I'd put Cotto back in my top 10 p4p list if he beats Martinez convincingly.

if only p4p meant 'last shocking win' instead of dominant career at a certain weight class

Or classes.

Martinez dominates Cotto now as would Williams for that matter. Great fight for Sergio, he deserves an "easier" fight after having a tough year. Cotto is just the kind of fight Sergio should be seeking. This is a better fight for his legacy than Lee would be and serves the same purpose. Plus Mayweather is out for the foreseeable future and Pacquiao doesn't want to go up in weight for a Martinez fight.

i'm a big cotto fan but feel its passed him now at this stage of his career, i'd go as far as to say he should retire...he's been a great warrior had some super fights but this would be a step in the wrong direction.....even tho sergio is older hes less battle worn.......cotto is damged goods after the margarito and pacman fights

Cotto has been there, done that though. He catapulted himself as one of the best and most FEARED p4p fighter and stayed there very long. He's got excellent resume already.
