Why is Martinez vs Chavez 2 Justified but Mayweather vs Cotto 2 Not?

[Capaedia]

nope, but he's damn good and has had a hell of a career. he's a great story.

I hear that.

But I think he could still make it depending on how much he's got left in the tank.

He isn't going to get there by re-humiliating Chavez. That's what I'm not happy about.

Chavez vs Martinez 2 gets justified for the same reason Pacquiao vs Marquez 4..... Bob "the Godfather" Arum. I swear he's the greatest used car salesman ever. During the post fight interview for Pac-Marquez 3 he told the world that we gotta do it again because there is a lot of money to be made in doing it again.

Arum can sell you a car, buy it back for half the price, and then sell it back to you along with a second car for triple the price.

Neither are justified. People just want to spread rumors that the Mayweather Cotto fight was close and or that Martinez didn't dominate 11 3/4 of 12 rounds. Neither were close. In fact both won very very comfortably. Outside of Floyd's face being busted up and broken ear drums he dominated the fight.... wait that wasn’t Floyd, Floyd just had a little bloody nose. I guess when you look at the standards of just how high Floyd is held to, that MUST mean he lost the fight right?

Moving on, in Chavez jr's case, Bob is all about recycling fights that he thinks will bring in the money. We all already seen why Bob Arum didn't want to put Chavez Jr in with Sergio the first time, why would ANYONE want to see it again? Martinez has other fights that could be made. Beating and dominating Chavez again doesn’t do much for his legacy when other fights are available.

Again, neither are justified at the moment. If Cotto beats Trout, Alvarez, and maybe Kirkland then a rematch with Floyd could be looked at. Until then nobody wants to see that. I know I don't and I even watched it LIVE and had a blast watching the fight, not to mention watching grown men cry (like actually cry) when Floyd's hand was raised. It shows just how many noob fanboys pay to watch Floyd lose and have no idea how to score a fight.

chavez almost won. cotto was beaten decisively.

[Pacquiao'd]

I don't think there should be any rematch for JCCjr and Martinez.

If Sergio had his scare in this second round as opposed to the 12th would we still be talking about it?

I honestly havent seen anyone talk down a Mayweather-Cotto rematch. I cant see Cotto winning a rematch anyway. And the only reason Id like Martinez to rematch Chavez is to actually watch Martinez finish him off this time around.

If a rematch happens for either or both fights I wont be complaining. If it doesnt its fine with me too.

Yeah agree.
Id prefer Martinez move on to a better fight and Jr fights Pavlik and as far as the Cotto vs Mayweather rematch it would make money but seems redundant.
Better fights for Cotto, Floyd and Martinez out there.

I haven't heard anything about a Cotto-Mayweather rematch.

I don't think a rematch would be very different. Neither would Chavez Martinez.

[WESS]

chavez almost won. cotto was beaten decisively.

Martinez winning 11 out of 12 rounds isn't beating Chavez decisively? If anything Martinez beat Chavez more decisively than Mayweather beat Cotto.

[AntonTheMeh]

chavez = vaca de dinero
martinez= not so much

mayweather= the sports biggest drawer
cotto = a top draw; just not the drawer floyd is.


in terms of drawing, chavez is to martinez as floyd is to cotto.

I don't think there should be a rematch but people want to see it so it might just happen.
