why does martinez want to fight cotto?

[ModernTalking]

I have every right to compare Margarito's title shot at 154 to Martinez fighting Coddrington or Manfredo at a catchweight for a title shot.

No you don't because Margarito is an ex welterweight champ, a weight that's Pacquiao 7th weight division. Manfredo used to campaign at 160 which is Martinez 2nd weight division. That's like Martinez fighting someone his own size but just at a different weight.

you see people like u are why this site is messed up, where does Martinez say Cotto is a no hoper, he's actually saying Cotto is one of the best bro, and wants to fight him, do u have trouble with reading comprehension, or are u just locked in one opinion?

Read between the lines you fool.

[TOBYLEE1]

Well we're hear to argue with all the other ******s that that's what he said. Whether he is using it as a tactic or not, he's simply implying that Pac slection of opponents is a no-hoper but at the same time he wants to fight one of them LOL.

In the end it really doesn' matter. Never seen a big fight not happen cause someone was talking too much smack. Either it happens or it doesn't happen but it is not going to be cause of this statement.

I don't like the fight for Cotto.He's the least greatest of Floyd,Pacman & himself,but I get the feeling if Arum said he had to,Cotto would.I'd prefer to see the greater fighters in Pac & May step to the plate,but they're to chicken ****.

That's what makes Cotto great too, he may not be at their level but he doesn't shy away from the challenge. Gotta love that attitude.

[ModernTalking]

Yeah,but between U & I,I feel that U are a sensible man.All he said was no hopers bro.I get the feeling he's talking about lately.Oscar couldn't have been a no hoperPacman was the major underdog.Neither Hatton,undefeated lineal champ at 140.Neither Cotto for that matter,he was the #2 welterweight at that time.In my opinion he's talking about Pacman's last 3 fights.The point is,Martinez's words can only be speculated on.That boy shouldn't put words in Martinez's mouth.

LOL...all he said was no-hopers. What part of What part of,' Middleweight king Sergio Martinez has taken a swing at Manny Pacquiao over his selection of opponents' don't you understand LOL. Dela Hoyd, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito, and Mosley is part of Manny Pacquiao selection of opponents....OPPONENTS...NOT OPPONENT

Correction...

Martinez campaigned at 147 (WW), 154 (SWW), and now at 160 (MW).

You can't even add bro.

How can people take you seriously?

It does matter because we're trying to help the ******s out how to read and understand.

[AllEyesOpen]

Simple, Martinez keeps fighting tough opponents, each with very small fan bases. Cotto might not be the best out there right now, but he's the biggest name around mw at this point and will bring big $$$.

If that's the case than 147 should be Pacquiao 9th divisons LOL. 112, 115, 118, 122, 126, 130, 135, 140, and 147.
