I think Cotto CAN beat Martinez

[keepthemhandsup]

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.

cotto isn't a damn middleweight hell i don't think he need to fight a jr middle. cotto can't do nothing but brawl on the indise martinez can box better then cotto.

lol wow you see what pac and marg did to cotto...and what martinez did to pavlik....sergio will chop cottos ass up again itll be a bloodbath....

that make sense. after all, srgio is as fast (not really) as pac, and cotto is as big and slow as pavlik (not really).

even though i think martinez beats him, it doesn't mean it will be a land slide.

I'll play your game with you, you remember what cotto did to quintana?

cottocop beats martinez, this cotto we've seen that last couple of fights, does not.

We need to see how well Junito does against Foreman to make a statement but i understand your point.

Going to wait till after Cotto vs Foreman before I say anything..

[Ben_London]

I love Cotto but Martínez would beat him easily.

[..WaRSpencE..]

I don't see this at this stage in his career...but you never know..I got to see him at 154 and wit the experienced corner to make that type of assesment..it's too early too call still..

[swizz]

HAHAHAHAHA you gotta be kidding me. come on dude... just stop smokin the hash it's illegal for a reason.

Martinez would batter Cotto and stop him in 6 or 7

yo wus up man stop running

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 want to see how Cotto performs at 154 before speculating on that. As of now I think Martinez would pummel Cotto. I just don't see anythuing Cotto could do to win that fight. If Pavlik couldn't overpower Martinez how would Cotto coming up from 147? To me that would be Cotto's only chance. And I'm not sure how much Cotto has left.

Actually, you are not the only 1. Well, me too. Lolz. I'm waiting after the foreman fight before I would have said it though. Who knows how Cotto would look on his return.
