    Murray's a good fighter though, he showed it twice on the world stage.
    Cotto might look good in spots, but he's moving up again when he's already a small JMW.
    I'm interested if they try to put a CW in there
    Also lol at interim title. Rubio is gonna be pissssseeedddd

      Martinez is around the same size as Margarito so, it's not a ridiculous fight. But as Cotto is by far the bigger pull, surely they'd make Sergio come down a few pounds?

        no way this fight happens at 160. Cotto was too tiny for 154!

          While Cotto doesn't have the size, he does have the skill-set and experience. Maybe his height will give Sergio some issues as he rarely ever fights someone shorter than him. What could wind up getting Cotto hurt is his endurance/stamina.

              No way he goes to 160, he's barely big enough for 154.

                This is also a fight, like he should have in the trout fight, where he should focus less on trying to box/outpoint, and focus more on standing his ground and bullying.

                He needs to get physical with Martinez IMO.

                  Would any of us be against a catchweight of say 156-157?

                  Would be a nice cut for Martinez to test the waters on his body for an even bigger cut against mayweather.

                    Can't see the fight happening at 160.

                    I'd fancy Martinez if the two were to meet, though. It'd be a similar fight to Cotto-Manny imo.

                      I don't like the idea of Martinez cutting any more weight. He's already on the decline.
