Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Would Be Ready For Cotto Next Summer

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Sampson Lewkowicz, adviser to WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (51-2-2, 28KOs), has advised BoxingScene.com that his fighter would be ready to face former three division king Miguel Cotto (38-4, 31KOs), or anyone else, by the early part of next summer.

Cotto returned on Saturday night in Orlando, where he snapped a two-fight losing streak with a three round demolition job of Delvin Rodriguez. Martinez is recovering from multiple injuries that he suffered in April's decision win over Martin Murray.

Following Cotto's win, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum discussed his desire to match the Puerto Rican star against Martinez next. Cotto's new trainer, Freddie Roach, said a catch-weight is not necessary because his boxer is "big enough" to go against Martinez at the full middleweight limit.

sergio will be ready but cotto wont be ready, not in this lifetime. cotto is in for an ass whooping. pointless fight i rather see sergio vs ggg

[MC Hammer]

So Canelo it is. The only reason I don't see Cotto taking that fight is because it would stop him from getting to Martinez

like Martinez facing a past prime smaller Cotto right?

[Realizniguhnit]

If That's the case then Canelo vs Cotto in April or May sounds about right..

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

Cotto can get a belt from vanes while he waits for martinez after he beats martinez then its canelo unless canleo loses again

[MDPopescu]

Is anybody sure that Martinez will be able to fight at top level again?
That Martinez no longer exists.
