Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs Sergio Martinez Post Fight Discussion thread

[Ring Leader]

Cotto vs Martinez would be a total unfair fight! In order for it to be fair you would require Miguels to wear 8 oz gloves with head gear and have Maravilla wear 16 oz sparring gloves

But for real Martinez is too fast for Miguels. Look when Miguels fights fast boxers? He loses and loses bad

At 154, I don't think Martinez stops him. Despite what some people might say, Miguel is a warrior. He's too good for Sergio to go to town like he did against Junior. I believe Martinez would win a UD in an a close, exciting fight. 160 is harder to call. Miguel's never fought at that weight. There's a possibility that "Maravilla" just might be too much for him at middleweight. A catch-weight? I'll go with the same thing I said for 154.

i can agree with your prediction or view of the fight. his trainer is suppose to be a great one as well. not sure though cause it seemed like they didn't really come up with a really good game plan for mayweather. but then again, they're two different fighters (mayweather and martinez).

cotto won't take it though, i just can't see him being up for the challenge (it's a big task at this stage of his career). we'll see what happens though. any cotto fans willing to bet on it, hit me up (if it ever gets signed, haha)

This is a good point. I was thinking along these lines. Miguel's taken a couple of nasty beatings, at the hands of Margarito and Pacquiao. He just seems rather uninterested in that kind of challenge anymore. He would take a lot of punishment versus "Maravilla," regardless of the outcome. Cotto has reached a point in his life where he just doesn't need to risk his health anymore. Can't say I blame him.

Yep, in this fight there are two scenarios for Cotto.

He loses, and receives hard punishment from Martínez.

He wins, but still receives hard punishment.

[CubanGuyNYC]

now he has an excuse to not train

Dude, is that Georgia Salpa in your avi? She's incredible.

[Evil Abed]

Cotto goes to sleep early or late.

Only scenarios I see playing out. Don't care what weight they fight at.

Cotto can fight Canelo or Martinez in May, if Cotto beats Trout in the first place. Both are great fights.

Martinez's movement and 12 round stamina is going to give everyone trouble. I think in this dept he had an edge now over both Mayweather and Pac who both seem to not have the same leg speed and movement as before. This is providing he comes back healthy with regards to his knee and hand issues and is the same guy he was Sat night.

manny never had a chance

I'm Gonna get hated on for this one but I think cotto can actually outbox Martinez,, cotto can take advantage of Sergio when he has his hands down. I don't think cotto can stop Martinez but technically cotto is a better fighter than Martinez,,,what has to be seen is if Martinez will be the same after knowing he can be hurt on the chin. I think it would be a chess match with both guys tryin to get their lead foot on the outside which is what usually happens when a conventional fights a southpaw
