Let them fight

This could be a great one. I would want him to fight once more maybe Vanes.

Cotto never fought Edwin Rodriguez, you meant to say Delvin Rodriguez

True but I mean those fights are going on almost 5 years ago. Sergios spent more time in the hospital than he has in the gym recently. Cotto is "fresher" of the two but sergios size still might be too much we will see, will be a fun fight.

We'll see what happens versus Sergio Martinez. But I also wasn't convinced by Cotto beating B- level fighter Delvin Rodriguez who was scared to death.

I'll be there!!! Make it happen!!!

LOS ANGELES -- Miguel Cotto returned Saturday with a demolition job on Delvin Rodriguez. He looked great under the tutelage of Freddie Roach, which pique the interest of observers in a big fight for Cotto in 2014.

One fight that was mentioned as a possibility for Cotto, according to BoxingScene.com's David Greisman, is a match with middleweight champion Sergio Martinez.

At Monday's media brunch to promoter Tim Bradley-Juan Manuel Marquez, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum informed BoxingScene.com that a potential Martinez-Cotto bout could take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. -- the home of the New York Jets and New York Giants.

good fight for PR boxing to get back on track and really see if cotto is back

Yea both men deserve a BIG payday for their career, especially Martinez. He's been a late bloomer and really worked hard late at his age to finally get that big fight in Chavez Jr $$wise. He should get at least 2 more big paydays in Cotto and either canelo or may

[rey guey]

how could anybody hate on this fight?

the weight won't be an issue.

Martinez is a small middleweight, against Macklin he only rehydrated to 165.

let's think about that

Ortiz was 164 against Mayweather
Canelo was 167 against Mosley and 164 against Mayweather

so let's forget about this weight crap.. Cotto will be fine.


and for people thinking Cotto has no chance, seriously?
Martinez is coming off of 2 ACL tears in the past 2 years. if the same happens again and he can't move?

if Martinez can't move as well and has to fight toe to toe with Cotto who do you think will win?


I think Martinez will win but it's close fight, i'd say like 55-45 for Martinez


I hope it gets made. it'll be the biggest fight for me next year without a doubt. GBP played it's trump card with Mayweather vs Canelo but they don't have any other match ups that come even close. Cotto vs Martinez is next years super fight

The winner (Martinez) will likely fight Canelo.

Sergio is going to bust Miguel up.
