    now compare that to Foreman who was a part time boxer/rabbi who was handicapped when he fought Cotto.

      And he had to step up to fight Martinez, while Cotto came to a new weight class and beat a champion in Foreman. Foreman's knee, which he says he injured at 15, never bothered him when he beat Daniel Santos for the title. Foreman's win over Santos is better than anything Dzinziruk has ever done.

      Cotto was beating his ass before his knee gave out.

        Dzizniruk beat Santos four years before Foreman did.

                Tough call, i like both these guys but i gotta lean towards martinez,,,

                Cotto probably made more money and was in bigger fights

                But Martinez was the true lineal champ of middleweight...

                Cotto won titles at 140 but hatton or tzysu was the guy

                at welter floyd or margarito

                at 154 he was a paper champ

                Martinez was/is a lineal champ plus he had a great run at 154...

                If they ever fought at 154 in a fantasy matchup, i think serg would beat cotto..

                  Threads like this, well, you have to ignore a lot of bs and nonsense from haters, trolls, or uninformed posters.

                  I think Cotto has a better resume, plain and simple. He may not have a lot of elite wins, Mosley being the one, but he has names that were solid enough to keep him in the spotlight for almost ten years while winning considerably more than he lost.

                  Martínez has a better recent resume, if that makes sense. From 2010 to 2012, Martínez resume is way better than Cotto's but, overall, Cotto still has the more consistent one.

                  I hope these two fight sometime. I am sure the fight will be very competitive and many will be surprised.

                    Cotto fought the stiffer competition hands down.

                    By wins, it would probably go to Martinez, but Cotto is the better and more proven fighter.

                    I mean really.. yeah he lost but he's given this generation's two greats some interesting fights.

                    Martinez got shited on by Murrary in his own country.

                      Martinez blazed through his division and came out on top.

                      Cotto faced excellent opposition, but faltered against the best in his division.

                      Martinez takes this one.
