I've been saying for a while that even though Martínez is calling out smaller guys, the man is on his way out, and needs a good payday so fuk it, but he's not going stand against a body puncher like Cotto once they get to letting go on the inside. Cotto can keep the pressure and neutralize Martínez's punching. Cotto's jab is going to keep Martínez guessing too, he ain't ready for a strong jab like that. We got a punching bag and a alcoholic with a few Europeans and this guys invincible, please. If he can make the weight, Cotto should take this guy on if he beats Margarito.
Well ya.
You just saw what a bum could do to Steroidgio, imagine what a professional boxer like Cotto could do to an amateur like Steroidgio.
What is wrong with this kid? He sounds like a jealous 14 year old. Hes easily one of the biggest idiots on here and thats not easy to do.
who the hell would want to see this fight? might as well go see how hamburgers are made bcuz that **** would be a slaughter.
martinez would knock a prime cotto out, post margarito version of cotto might just get killed. it would make the ass whuppin sergio put on williams look like a tender face massage.
Sergio isn't even know for his power, why the hell do you act like he's some kind of KO machine? People jumping on this Sergio power bandwagon way to much just because of the Willians fight. Its so funny.
Cotto - Martinez at 154 would be highly competitive.
Both fighters don't have the best defence and both are very accurate punchers with good power so it would exciting.
I think Martinez stops Cotto late. Martinez is faster, bigger, stronger and would take Cotto's shots better than Cotto could take his shots so as it progressed Cotto would slow down and eventually get stopped.

Cotto stops Martinez........for what, an autograph???
I say this because Cotto is definitely not stopping Martinez to ask him for fight.
BTW, for a second I thought you guys were referring to Cotto KO'ing Martinez, but I doubt the nuthuggery on boxingscene is that bad.
Sergio wrecks Cotto, any fighter that can apply speed and some pressure beats Cotto rather easy
Cotto's last 2 fights prove he doesnt deserve to be in the same sentance as Sergio, a stoppage against a 1 legged fighter, and a mayorga who "hurt his arm" and couldnt continute after he got jabbed in the face
Barker fought a smart fight. He used his reach well, and threw fast shots at the right time.
Cotto is too small, and Sergio would counter him all night.
Margrito could apply real pressure all night, but again Sergio slips away and counters to a UD.
Sergio vs Floyd would be interesting.
I like Sergio but im a Huge Cotto fan, id go for this fight. Its not a fight that NEEDS to happen but if they wanna go for it at Light Middle then cool im down. Cotto has the tools to beat a Martinez with those low hands and shiit but if im honest while i like the fight and give Miguel a good shot my pick would be Sergio to knock him out, too fast and too much of a puncher. Legit fight tho at LMW
After last night I think it is safe to say that more people think Cotto could be competitive against Sergio than was the case before, especially if the fight is at a catch weight maybe at 156 or so.
Darren Barker for sure was better than most including myself thought but not that much better. Sergio is a really good fighter but he has climbed to the top off of victories that should b taken for what they were. The Pavlik fight, how long had Pavlik been out and the guy was obviously struggling with alcohol at that point. The Williams fight, Williams was looking not good against Cintron and Sergio captilized on a punch that Williams has shown unable to get out of the way of with every Southpaw he has faced. Sergio has shown some vulnerability, I think it would be a great fight but the problem is Martinez still isn't a big enough name to compete against Cotto's other options, if he wins vs Margarito.
Personally I think Margarito should have taken a fight with Martinez, he may have the style and skillset to beat the Argentinian.
sergio got robbed at gun point... I"m pretty sure that's a lot worse than what that girl went through.
wouldn't be surprised ...he grew up in a Latin American country
Cotto would smash Sergio's nose in with hard jabs all night long. Sniff Cotto's jab? Please..
I'd love for Cotto to do that. 5'-7" with a 65" reach against 5'-10" and 75" reach. Cotto will be smashing his own face against Martinez's right hand.
TS is right, let's look at Cotto after PAC, he beat the guy with one good leg and he destroyed an old Mayorga in the 12th round.
Yup, Cotto stops him.:chairshot:stupid:
:lol1: :lol1:
I'll bet you that doesn't happen. Martinez will sniff out Cotto's jab, straight right, left hook to the body combo after he tries it 2 or 3 times (that is Cotto's staple).Martinez will out jab the much shorter Cotto...
