Will Cotto get full credit for beating Martinez.

[MODAPHUKA]

It depends on how Martinez looks in the ring. Even if Serg has slowed, still a very good (probably best) win for cotto.

I understand what you mean.

I'm not going to act like Cotto has the style to make Martinez looks bad , its actually the other way around in my opinion , but Martinez can be 100% and it could happen that Cotto just has the right plan and comes and executes it to perfection.

[MODAPHUKA]

I'll give him full credit, but clowns will say Martinez was too past his prime and coming off injuries, as usual. Miguel has been in more wars with much stronger opposition than Sergio. IMO, if anybody's "shot" here, it's Cotto.

Cotto is not shot. Closer?? Maybe...

People use that word freely around here. I think it takes away from an opponent when the fighter he faced is being called shot.

When you think about it , Cotto has never been blown out in a fight.

Pacquiao gave him a beating but we all knew it was likely to happen. Pacquiao is just that good. The speed just overwhelmed him like it does to most Pacquiao opponents.

Cotto still has plenty. I want to see him lose to a few bums before I call him shot. Losing to nothing but the best doesn't merit called being shot. Trout is his worst loss.. He's no p4p but he was no bum either.

cotto aint got a chance in hell

cotto aint got a chance in hell

So , I'm guessing he will get nothing but praise from you if he wins...

he gets credit for fighting the middleweight champion, but the timing is obviously the reason why he's taking the fight. martinez looked ancient against murray.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Both guys are faded and have seen better days,,

So i would give cotto full credit for beating serg

I think serg is a slight favorite, so there is no way not to give cotto full credit, unless he wins on some BS ala tim-manny or something like that

[Bermuda]

both guys are no longer in their prime....but cotto will be moving up well past his best weight (welterweight) to fight martinez at his best weight (middleweight)

so yes if cotto beats martinez he gets full credit...

[Motofan]

It would be a massive win and upset. Id he shocked if Cotto even made it competitive.

I think you will be schocked then.

Sometimes fans of boxing ask too from Cotto imo. A guy who never shys from a challenge and isn't a diva on the negotiation table to prevent certain fights from happening. He's more deteriorated then Martinez ever has been in his career. He gets full credit under all these circumstances..age,wars,weight every angle is against him except the money. So we're good to go if he's victorious.
