you dont consider someone not shaking your hand an offensive gesture?
idk bout you but if someone left me hanging id take offense to that...
not gonna go around crying about it but to each his own
honestly, who wouldn't? it's a fukkin handshake, what are you scared of? i'd deff like to see a video of martinez explaining what happened between them, but about the calling out cotto thing, martinez called him out at 154, not 160 from what i remember. doesn't matter anyways cause i doubt cotto would face martinez....
Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler are big money fights, that being said Cotto should have shook his hand unless he knows there is a fight in their future possibly. Cotto was "cool" with Margarito and that mother f*cker loaded his wraps I don't blame Cotto for not trusting anyone anymore. Seriously though, if your feelings are hurt because someone didn't shake your hand you're a b*tch its that simple. I think at 154 Cotto has a decent shot at beating Sergio as he has some really bad habits and Sergio won't be backing Cotto up. At 160 though, Sergio would be way too big and way too fast.

The only reason why He is calling Cotto is because from all the big names out there, Cotto is the only one who will sign on the dot. He already call Pacquiao, Mayweather and Chavez Jr and they all declined. Cotto is also the only big name Snob Arum will sacrifice because He is the only boxer promoter on his stable.
Who in their right mind would move up in weight to fight a guy a who lost his last three fights?
Actually, 3 out of 4 fights. He had a tune up fight.
Well, i would pick this as Martinez first fight at smw. Sergio will get better paid than fighting here in the US.
Sergio is trying to fight big names that bring big money, he's tired of fighting risky fights with low profit.
He's not getting any younger.
Sergio can make money by fighting Kessler and Abraham in Europe. Don't know about fighting Dirrell or Ward here in the US.
WTF... Kessler most certainly is.
If Sergio can't get a majority of the money its his promoters fault. As if he would get the majority of the money fight Pac, Mayweather or Cotto.
Kessler isn't available. he's working out a fight with Stieglitz rite now. he even turned down Bute, what makes u think he'd fight Serg?
dude neither Froch nor Kessler are available to fight. So why in the hell would he pursue fights with either of them?

The only thing Sergio wants is a BIG MONEY fight, either with Cotto, Mayweather or Pacquiao.
All Pacquiao has done is take easy money fights, and you blame Martinez who's been taking RISKY low money fights, all he wants is his payday.

Found the article you're referring to.

Martinez said he was willing to face Cotto at middleweight or drop down to junior middleweight to fight him. Martinez has animosity toward Cotto because he said Cotto refused to shake his hand when they ran into each other at a function in Mexico a couple of months ago. Rather than face Martinez, Cotto is headed toward a likely Dec. 3 rematch with Antonio Margarito.
WTF? Why wouldn't Cotto shake his hand?
I do think he's off base for calling him a coward though. I recall they did come to an agreement to possibly fight after the the Margarito rematch, but it was delayed.
I don't care if Sergio has moved up once already, he's had 4 fights at 160 he's used to the weight by now. Besides I'd give him more credit for facing someone at 168 and losing than I would Manny at 154, if he really wants to claim he's a JMW, then have some fights at that weight again. I find it funny its OK for Sergio to move up two divisions but Manny, Floyd and Cotto have to move 4 or more to face him. I like Sergio but he does some really lame sh*t, this is the perfect example of it.
So Martinez wants to move down in weight to challenge the #1 rated Jr middleweight fighter of the world and that somehow makes him a hypocrite? how? It's not like he's asking Cotto to move up. The fight would take place at 154. Unless there's some super middleweight fighter challenging him at 160 and Martinez is refusing, I don't see what you're talking about.
So, Cotto ducked a fight and a handshake with Martinez? What a pussy.
sergio is a queer ha cotto didnt want to shake his ***** ass hand cause hes been talking ****:peeright:
He already went up to fight and beat teh bigger Pavlik.
cotto is in his third weight class now and would have to go up to 160 to fight sergio
martinez is also mad at cotto for not shaking his hand lol!
