He said legit not credible, it was a legit win because Martinez was considered a big name and an interesting match up. Cotto came in prepared and looked very sharp.
Though I agree with the point you are making, while Cotto won and looked sharp, Martinez was clearly not a fit state to be fighting clearly. I had heard about him being injured prior to the fight happening but it wasnt until the actual fight that we got to see the full extent of his injuries.
I fail to see the legitimacy of a victory over a guy who comes into the ring immobilised by the evident and clear strapping to both his knees, an issue made even clearer when he was exposed was it 13 months earlier by Martin Murray. Hell next I’ll be being told draining Daniel Geale down to a weight he had not fought at in 8 years in and at the time in his mid thirties, as a legitimate win.
Martinez was a credible win ?

Absolutely spot on. I personally thought Cotto would beat him too.
Let's not act like Cotto wasnt the huge favourite going into this. Let's not act like this fight was not being labeled a cherry pick.
Sadam Ali didnt just win, he rocked cotto multiple times and physically dominated him, while being the one moving up in weight. Don't get me wrong, I think Cotto is shot but Ali deserves a lot more credit than he gets.
Precisely, Ali surprised a lot of people (myself included)
Nobody is playing up anything stop hating an actually read what I said...And FYI wins against Margarito and Martinez arent legit now?
Not one person has called Sadam Ali the GOAT after this win but it is still a very good win regardless of what you think.

Why are people playing down Ali's victory? He was the heavy underdog in this fight even against an old Cotto and this was being referred to as a cherry pick fight for Cotto.
Ali goes in there, rocks Cotto multiple times and clearly beats him. All of a sudden Cotto is ancient and injured (we dont know when he actually he sustained the injury).

Why are you playing up cotto?? He hasn’t had a legit W since 2007

Most history books neglect to mention that Saddam had to pull a sword out of a stone to become leader of Iraq, and that was the weapon of mass destruction Bush Jr. was worried about.
i laugh when people say iraq didnt have weapons of mass destruction. its right there in his hand case closed!

Maybe we didn't believe. I think it's more accurate to say that most of us just didn't care. I actually played video games instead because I had to interest in that fight. That might make be a bad boxing fan but that's how irrelevant this fight was to me.
I’ll give you that but sadam still got KO’d by vargas and old ass cotto put up a fight with a ripped bicept don’t go around acting like sadam is the goat all of a sudden.
Ali fought well and deserved to win but he beat a really lousy version of Cotto. Hurd, Charlo, Trout and Lara would all beat Ali at 154 and Spence, Thurman, Porter, Garcia and Crawford would all beat him at 147 in my opinion.
