Much as I think Cotto would have a better chance against a potentially hobbled Martinez, I'd rather he fought Alvarez just to back Martinez into a corner within his division.
I believe GBP is setting up Cotto to lose. Give him a nice check to fight Canelo and if he doesn't knock Canelo out he's going to get ROBB! GB need Canelo stock to rise again and Cotto is the best opportunity.
I don't see Cotto vs Martinez being robbed for either guys.

This is not about Cotto. This is about GBP's perceived cash cow Alvarez. Cotto is a free agent. He is not beholden to anybody. Schaefer wants the fight now before Alvarez's ass gets punked by a high risk, low reward fighter.
Who do you think Alvarez can fight in GBP's stable that could match the earning potential in a Cotto fight? GBP is desperate for this fight.
