Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez: I Would Love To Fight Miguel Cotto

[el malo]

I get the impresssion that Cotto really doesn't want to face Chavez Jr. Not that he is ducking him...rather he feels it's a waste of time for him at this stage of his career. I would like to see Miguel go for this fight or a fight with Floyd.

we dont know what cotto feels unless he tells us but yes chavez jr is a waste of time. if he beats jr. he gets no credit for it since jr. hasn't fought anyone and if he loses to jr. that would be the end of his career. like savor said go hard or go home, bring on martinez.

2 of my favorite fighters. I like cotto more, but favor sergio. I want to see it at 160 for all the marbles. Cotto would be first pr champ 4 division. I think he can beat sergio

Fights only legit if its at 154, Cotto at 160 against someone as good as Martinez would be asking for trouble.

id rather ask for trouble against the best than play it safe with weak competition.

Make this fight happen. It's the best for both fighters right now.

Neither Chavez nor Cheato deserve to fight any of these guys

He doesn't wanna waste his time with Chavez Jr, can any1 blame him??? Cotto vs Martinez at 156 tops is a good look 4 him. I would like 2 see him get a crack at Floyd if not Sergio. He would be a dog in both fights but he would gain a lot if he could pull out a win.

Martinez has more to lose, so i think it would be fair to do it at 160. Sergio would be drained at 154. I dont want excuses when its all said and done

I get that same feeling too, I think he'd fight Chavez Jr. if no other options present themselves that add an extra 0 or so. Losing to Chavez Jr. is basically a career ender, might as well make sure to lose to a p4p guy.

My preferred fights for Miguel stand as (in order):

Floyd Mayweather
TonyMargarito
Andre Berto
Tim Bradley
