Love to see it at 154, in one fights time, there's a bit of a gap between the two of them, how big I'm unsureComment

Meh, I find the moving up in weight thing against a guy like Martinez not that big of a difference.
If I were Cotto I'd weigh in at 155ish, or wherever I felt like my optimal fighting weight was. Let Sergio weigh in at 159 or whatever, and they'll rehydrate to maybe a 5 pound difference.
And the way the two fight, most importantly, makes the weight difference kind of obsolete. Martinez isn't the kind of guy that leans on his opponents and imposes his strength on his opponent. And neither is Cotto, so the weight difference to me doesn't really mean much.Comment

At 160 I wouldn't favor Cotto, at 154/155 I actually would. People make it seem like Sergio is a beast simply because he KO'd, PW. Lets keep things in perspective people, Sergio has a horrible habit of leaning to his right DIRECTLY in line for a Cotto left hook or uppercut, I doubt that will be a good thing for Sergio. Secondly, he drops his hands a lot and Cotto could hit him alive with his jab if Sergio doesn't get that under control. Finally, there isn't a single man out there who has ever outboxed Cotto, they overpower him and I doubt Sergio would be able to do that.
Sure, he was able to bust up PW and Pavlik but both guys simple walk right in. Pavlik simply chases you around the ring while Williams has no mind for defense and leans throws his head while he punches, leaving himself wide open to shots. I don't think Sergio's speed will be an issue for Cotto in this fight as I think Cotto's speed is right on par with Sergio and possibly even his power (@ 154.) At 154/155 I would actually give Cotto the edge in this fight, based simply off Cotto's style AND having Steward in his corner now. Sergio I think is a solid fighter but I see more bad habits with him than I see with Cotto. That being said, Sergio has improved immensely since his first fight with PWill and I'm sure the experience helped. It'd be a close fight but I'd go with Cotto 55/45 Cotto, it wouldn't be an easy fight for either guy and I would actually really like to see it. However, Cotto/Marg II would certainly do FAR FAR FAR better numbers than this fight would and being that they are both Top Rank I'm pretty sure we know whats coming.Comment
