    I think Cotto CAN beat Martinez

    Just to clarify for ******s...CAN as in is capable of...not I think he WOULD beat him.

    If Cotto beats Foreman impressively, at this stage in his career, why not try and grab the lineal Middleweight crown?

    Before I get called a "stan"....although I'd be surprised if I was as most know me...I think Cotto gets absolutely mauled by pretty much all of the top guys at 154-160.....PWill, Pavlik, Angulo, Kirkland...those guys all brutally stop Cotto.

    Martinez's style is one that gives Cotto a chance. He's bigger but he doesn't use his size...he's not a volume puncher or that big of a puncher.

    Cotto has trouble with big pressure fighters and/or fighters who throw a lot.

    Now before people make the Pacquiao comparison....Martinez is not as fast(his hand speed is SEVERELY overrated) and he doesn't throw 5 and 6 punch combinations like Pacquiao.

    Martinez is also nowhere near as slick as people make him out to be. Freaking Kelly Pavlik landed 45% of his power punches on him. Cotto is more accurate than Pavlik and Williams.

    I'm not saying Cotto would beat Martinez. If I had to pick, even if Cotto carries 154 well, I'd still probably pick Martinez.

    But it's a winnable fight, and if Cotto won it'd be an ideal way to go out for him.

          I have him losing to Foreman so I know Martinez would wax him.

            I think it would be a good fight but i dont see Cotto getting past Martinez! Cotto has a punchers chance against him but i think he would need to root for the knockout.

                Haha, I saw it coming but PRAYED that NSB had some rational humans left.

                People see one guy beat another and go "bahhhh no way", and pay zero attention to styles.

                Martinez beat Pavlik and (arguably) Williams....but I firmly think Cotto has a much better chance against Martinez than he does Pavlik and Williams.

                Apparently the majority of NSB can't grasp that concept.

                    Well me and Savor have had this conversation a long time ago. So I wouldn't call him a nuthugger.
