I see Cotto is not getting any love going into the Martinez fight.

he'll do just fine. He has got a large enough following and he is going to win this fight so I think that the amount of love he has on him going into this fight is irrelevant, enough people will be all over his nuts whenever he gets the W.

Cotto's been in there with a prime Margarito, prime Pacquiao, aged but intelligent Floyd Joy Sinclair. I think he'll be fine against an old Sergio even at a higher weight class. He won't get destroyed like you all think. If Sergio does win it will only be 8-4,9-3. You think so? I think it can go either two ways. If Martinez is shot beyond hope then he gets beaten for 12 rounds, if he's recovered from his injury he fully dominates Cotto, likely knocking him out. Martinez does have power to level guys of his size + Cotto is small. I know that a prime Martinez would destroy Cotto, Cotto maybe wouldnt even take such a fight if he didnt believe Martinez is injured bad.

Freddy Roach can't game plan for Boxers/Movers all of his fighters look AVERAGE against that style. That Being said Sergio is not getting any younger and is working his way back from Injuries, one being his Knee which could very well effect the way he fights and his style which depends on a lot of movements. Sergio while he wasn't 100% in his last fight...he did not look good. Cotto STOPS that Version of Martinez but if Martinez is Fully 100% and has that Bounce and Timing Back then I think he scores a easy UD See what I did, I broke down the fight and gave reasons as to why or how each fighter can or might win compared to just coming and posting "COTTO WILL WIN!" :nonono:

I'm cautiously optimistic about Cotto's chances Well said, I fell the same way.

I got his back though. Time to seperate the fighters from the soccer players come June. I'm cautiously optimistic about Cotto's chances

I noticed that Miguel Cotto gets hated quite a bit on this message board but has some true 'hardcore" fans that seem to follow him not matter what. Personally, I think that he is GREAT for boxing, has an outstanding resume and if you add his losses vs future ATG Floyd and Pac, his resume is WAY up there with some true ATGs. He gets my respects!

Miguel Cotto and El Angel go hand in hand really. You think of one, you think of the other. :luvbed:

What do you mean Cotto ain't getting no love? What do you want us to do? Star worshiping him? Do you want us jumping up and down and proclaiming that a man who is just about average for the light middle division will be able to beat a hard hitting and very quick 160lb fighter? LOL get off your crack pipe ***** Only thing beating Sergio is his age and injuries, although I will give Cotto credit for taking the fight and even if he beats a faded Sergio, he still gets credit in my book. I don't know what the **** you think your doing, but I'll break your ****in jaw hoe. ****in nerd.

Is Sergio gonna rock the Stone Cold Steve Austin knee brace for the fight? http://www.mobilityshop.co.uk/custom/images/products/hires/018567.jpg

What weight are they fighting at serg looks huge compared to cotto

After Cotto beats him, he's not going to get any credit either. Ppl will say Sergio is shot or still injured. Boxing fans are the stupidest when it comes to sports fans.Unless you know the future you mean IF Cotto beats him. Cotto is a 2 to 1 underdog. IF Cotto beats him I'll give him full credit but Cotto lost uds to Mayweather and Trout so he will probably lose to Martinez.

War Cotto...Time to make history

I usually cheer for the smaller guy in fights like this but with the diva shit Cotto has pulled(what a warrior! lol), I just don't know any more. Im usually the same.....always pulling for the underdog, but im pulling for Martinez in this one. Cotto never had the greatest defence and im sure under Roach it will be as leaky as ever. If Martinez is healthy enough he puts Cotto to sleep.

Cotto's been in there with a prime Margarito, prime Pacquiao, aged but intelligent Floyd Joy Sinclair. I think he'll be fine against an old Sergio even at a higher weight class. He won't get destroyed like you all think. If Sergio does win it will only be 8-4,9-3. a prime Margarito who fought with plaster in his gloves. Cotto's got alot of scar tissue since that fight and if it opens up against Sergio, and if Sergio is back to being anywhere near 100%, this fight won't go the distance.

King Cotto gets my love daily! Every day I'm giving support and following the guy! I been there in victory and in defeat, and Ill be right here come Jun 8 win or lose...and Ill continue to be here backing up my guy! Yo voy al mio!! War Cotto!

I'm rooting for Cotto in this one. Cotto fought everyone else. Look at the quality of his opponents. Win or lose ths guy deserves all the credits.

He won't get destroyed like you all think. If Sergio does win it will only be 8-4,9-3. Yeah I agree. And Sergio looked terrible against Murray. Absolutely terrible.

The total of everyone else in this thread's love for Cotto >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>My adoration for the KING. I make up the sickening lack of backers he has :nonono: I'm the biggest cotto fan, as a Puerto Rican I can be proud of cotto for not ducking anyone win or lose He will be missed when he retires

After Cotto beats him, he's not going to get any credit either. Ppl will say Sergio is shot or still injured. Boxing fans are the stupidest when it comes to sports fans. Catch weight - Something Cotto fanatics cried over and over vs Pac Martinez coming off injuries and surgery. Why should he get full credit? I usually cheer for the smaller guy in fights like this but with the diva shit Cotto has pulled(what a warrior! lol), I just don't know any more.
