Why are posters on here acting like Cotto is some kingpin?

He is a good solid fighter..but why do ya'll think he is some kingpin to demand everything from the lineal MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION? like Martinez can not demand anything??? all he wants his his damn name first like a champion should. Lets be real Cotto hasnt done jacksh1t in damn near 2 years...his last big win was against a 1 eyed Margo and then he lost 2 fights in a row then beat some random dude named Rodriquez....he has no title,is not p4p..Martinez is the lineal champ and top 5 p4p...Cotto needs him period You have no place to talk about such things, you think Floyd is the LOVE OF YOUR LIFE for crying out loud.:bottle:

Yup. Except the Punisher wasn't the best fighter in the world, nor was the fight ppv. But yes, twas the same. So you hold Floyd to a different standard because he is better fighter and bigger draw than Paul Williams?

Great post coming from a floyd fan. Haven't been on here religiously, but this is Larry X right? larryx at his best.

Still it was Floyd's roadblock that stopped that fight from happening. I was saying what you said (one eye-ed Margo ...) prior to the Floyd fight but you couldn't get yourself to talk like that because you were protecting your idol Floyd. Now you agree without realizing that you just sh$tted on Floyd's picking of Cotto.

Cotto's the A side. Simple as that. There's a reason Martinez is dieing for this fight whereas Cotto wouldn't be too bothered if it didn't happen. Exactly. If someone has a problem with it, take it up with the way the sport is structured.

Was it DLH/Hopkins or Hopkins/DLH? Trinidad/Hopkins or Hopkins/Trinidad

cottos name headlining it in nyc MSG is a better marketing strategy. Although cotto is the challenger he's also the A - side to this match up. He also is the 3/4th highest money maker (ppv wise)

Actually Martinez has invested his money very well outside the ring and is already set financially. Martinez wants to make more money like anyone else I suppose, but he doesnt need it to ensure a wealthy retirement as Cotto does. Um, Cotto is set financially as well. Your comment is flawed.

Well, Cotto doesn't need Martinez first of all. I can agree somewhat with you, but the fact of the matter remains that Cotto is the draw and the money maker. That's just how boxing is these days. The man who brings in the money calls the shots. Actually Martinez has invested his money very well outside the ring and is already set financially. Martinez wants to make more money like anyone else I suppose, but he doesnt need it to ensure a wealthy retirement as Cotto does.

why exactly is he the A side??? Martinez-Chavez did more then any ppv cotto did minus manny or floyd What? Cotto did 600k and 500K in both Margarito fights. So i have no idea what u talking about.

Foreman? What's your definition of a top fighter? He was a JMW champion and universally regarded as top 10 at 154. Foreman? Was that a joke? A top fighter to me is a guy who can who get a belt by beating a top 5 guy and subsequently hold on to that belt by beating the other top 5 guys. Its the difference between a "contender" and a "top fighter".

Cotto is at the end of his career, he should be able to demand what he wants. He fought everyone there was in his time, when they were big in the division.. Its not like he is picking an easy fight here.... He going for history and it takes balls to do what he is doing...

Um, because Cotto is the A-side. He's just doing what Manny and Floyd did to him. Cotto's just playing the game and he's doing it right.

If Larry was Sergio's manager he would be fired. You don't turn down a career high payday against cotto. Sergio should be doing whatever cotto demands.

Irrelevant. Let me re-phrase my question. When's the last time Cotto beat a top fighter? Foreman? What's your definition of a top fighter? He was a JMW champion and universally regarded as top 10 at 154.

why shouldn't he? who's thirsty for that fight? it's martinez. cotto can always go fight canelo. what he has is options. martinez doesn't have any. we know he's not fighting ggg.

You misinterpreted what I said. I'm saying that Cotto is going up to fight at middleweight to get that 4th belt to add to his legacy. What im saying is what other middleweight can Cotto fight other than Martinez. P.Quillin? GGG? Martinez is the only lineal champ and only big money fight at middleweight. A Canelo fight is strictly a money fight no titles in play. Legacy? Cotto is looking for retirement paper, it just so happens that the highest bidder was Team Maravilla.

You speak the truth, bro. Cotto ain't sh*t. He's going to get a beating against Martinez, either way. Honestly, people on here hype this dude way too much. People talk alotta sh*t about Pacquiao/Mayweather fans on here. But, Cotto fans are just as delusional, if not more, even. Martinez has been asking for this fight for a while and has talked alotta sh*t about Cotto. But, honestly, I think there is some straight up homosexual tension between the two. You know what I'm talking about. Am I right?

Cotto don't even belong at 154, he looks pudgy. Now, why in the hell would he go up to 160? I understand he's trying to make history, but he's also looking to get seriously hurt.

Martinez is the rightful champ. Cotto is ok but come on. Martinez is injured and past his prime, but he has power, great skills and is the bigger guy. Sergio Martinez should deal with Cotto with ease (unless the injuries are worse than we thought) and calm down some guys here that are crawling all over Cottos balls.
