Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Will Face Rubio if Cotto Falls Out

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

Really unfortunate to see people crapping on two brave champions like Sergio and Cotto (especially). Boxing is a whole lot better because of these guys and yous have no respect.

Cotto Should Lock Up Canelo In March & Sergio For June; What's The Big Deal!

Are you kidding me! You can't walk away from $10M+ with Canelo, and who wouldn't want that shot against Sergio after???? Sergio can't beat Canelo OR Cotto! At this point in your career, you need to get that money from Canelo!

I think martinez should fight rubio next,i mean hes coming off injuries and rubio is a one dimensional guy..cotto can do it all box brawl witever the fight calls for and would push the pace and move on sergio and likely cause another injury on martinez....i mean rubio as looked decent in past fights but what makes me think martinez cant do a JANTUAH JOB on rubio,safe fight for martinez to test out his legs imo

[lopez36]

Thats too bad he has to fight rubio,nobody wants to see him

Martinez should face his mandatory (Rubio) as a tune-up for GGG. I like the prospect of a Cotto fight but does he deserve it? Cotto ain't turning down 10 mil anyways.

Ten million dollars for a non-title fight? Wow.

People aren't used to the temperaments and professionalism of Miguel Cotto and Sergio Martinez, so forgive the naive. Cotto has turned down big money offers before, so it's not a guarantee that he'll face Canelo, but it looks as though he's leaning that way or maybe even a Peter Quillin bout. Top Rank, if he chooses to work with them, would probably offer him close to $10 million to face Martinez in June, so it will come down to which opponent he prefers taking on.

The wbc is waiting to see what belt floyd keeps which will likel be the ww belt....freeing up the super welterweight title in time to make this fight for the vacant belt,so it will be a championship fight

in recent years cotto has lost all his tough fights.

Rodriguez, Yuri foreman, Mayorga, unwrapped Margaritto were gimmes for him.

I agree. Foreman never deserved to be a champion and just recently the guy was fighting irrelevant fights of six rounds. Mayorga was only a big mouth and other than defeating Vernon Forrest, he lost all the important fights. Margarito should have retired after Pacquiao destroyed his eye but I guess Uncle Bob helped him to cash in on a last fight. Rodriguez was in paper a good test although it was clear that he is far from the elite and now many were mislead and seriously think that Cotto can beat anybody.

Martinez-Cotto and Golovkin-Rubio would be ideal!!!

YES lol
