Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Prefers Cotto Over Chavez Jr. Rematch

[jvsnypes]

Na men, sergio has been hurt vs Barker, MCklin, Williams, Dzinziruk and Pavlik and obviously vs Jr.

And I agre im not saying it will be easy, but at the end of the fight Martinez face will be disfigured!!

Maybe he did get hurt by those fighters, but they are all top contenders at middleweight. Doesn't that define what a true champion is? A real champion fight top notch guys and no matter if they get hurt, or outboxed, they still find a way to win. There is no more questions to be asked of this champion. Whoever they put in front of him, he finds a way to beat them. Cotto would definitely be a real test for him. Why? Because Cotto is also a true champion. I just give the edge to Sergio. I just respect a guy who can get up from a knockdown and make the proper adjustments to win. He has crazy heart and is mentally tough and wants to fight the best. And if He and Cotto ever fight, both of their faces would be disfigured.

I think Cotto makes it a competitive boxing match. I don't think Cotto would pressure relentlessly and I see Sergio doing his usual thing, which is to pick his spots and use his movement.

I just can't see why some around here keep insisting that Cotto will get murdered in this fight when Cotto has never been knocked out cold. I can see Martínez winning a decision because he's a gifted boxer, but I could also envision Cotto getting a close nod. Maybe polls about this fight should be posted a few months from now, after Cotto has faced Trout and some posters are not so high on Sergio.

I'm a big cotto fan but martinez would destroy him, I dont wanna see cotto go out like that.

I do...................

Bottom line is...Cotto has to get past Trout first. That's not goin to be a walk in the park.

Sergio wouldn't do a William on Cotto. However, my prediction is Martinez TKO11 because of facial damage.

How many Middleweights with fast hands and great power has he fought?

Don't worry I'll wait.

Cotto's face is already very damaged because of his previous fights with Margarito and Pacquiao, he tends to get really swollen and Martinez has a powerful jab.

This is the way forward. This could lead to a mayweather showdown. Lets face, besides Pac-May, Martinez-May is the fight everyone wants. I mean who wouldnt watch that?

That's not the point. I am not saying it's impossible that Martínez stops him because I know it could happen. I just don't find much logic in some replies that state that Cotto will get completely dominated and killed in a couple of rounds. When talking about a fighter like Cotto, who has faced the very best and has world class skills, you have to give the benefit of the doubt. Besides, this fight could take place at 154 meaning that Cotto might not be too far out of his element.

This is the kind of fight where the tempo won't affect the outcome. Sergio could beat him from the outside, or he could increase the tempo and really try to hurt Cotto.
