Miguel Cotto: "I Want Sergio Martinez @ MSG In New York"

[Ray*]

If I may quote my self.....I think that he really means with the 155-157lb comment is that he is saying that Martinez is not a 160lbs as we know, and that HE WALKS AROUND 155-157lb. That is what I think he implies!

Martinez walks around 155-157lb and I think that's a very correct statement.

Basically Cotto wants Martinez at 155ish and because he is the A-side he might get his wish.

Martinez does not walk around 155-157 dude.

To look at a fighter's walk around weight, look at their fight night weight.

Bradley, Broner, Berto, Thurman, Maidana guys like those walk around 155-157. If Martinez walked around 155-157, he could still make 147 easily. He does not walk around no 155lbs man

All he needs to do is go 12 rounds and he wins. Whether he deserves it or not, he'd more than likely win by just going 12.

Yes because the judges in MSG always take Cotto's opponent's victories away Trout got a way too wide decision, and majority say he beat Clottey and Judah. I don't think the judges will be necessary anyway.

Either my Spanish is that bad or I am pretty sure "Y eso es un factor" means "And that is a factor", meaning, Martinez supposedly weighing in 155-157lbs was factored into the selection.

"And that's a fact." in Spanish would be "Y eso es un hecho."

But like I said, my Spanish could be terrible, I don't think it's that bad though.

You are correct, I translated literally the world "factor". Either way, I believe that it was a reference to Cotto thinking that Martinez walks around 155-157 and not a ref to his weight in on his prior/recent fights.

JCC Jr ain't exactly easy to miss..

Cotto makes it clear just how overrated Sergio is.

Like two years ago I don't remember many crowding to fight Martinez...

No one ever mentioned Judah. Cotto knocked him out, there's no need to mention him.

I had Clottey beating him, and I had Mosley a Draw. And I also scored Cotto-Trout a Draw.

I think martinez is all wrong for cotto but then again this is a old injury ridden sergio so who knows. I admire cottos balls though. Will definitely get tickets to this.

I meant Mosley, not sure why I put Judah.

I'm just saying these guys aren't getting robbed blind in MSG. If Martinez beats Cotto and deserves the decision, I don't doubt he'll get it.

[savorduhflavor]

Cotto's saying that Martinez routinely weighing in at like 157-158 shows he's not a true middleweight and that's a factor. Cotto knows he has no business at MW but the reigning champ happens to be as much of a MW as Cotto is a JMW.

And seriously, the MSG thing is not a big deal. Cotto deserved the decision against Mosley without question, the Clottey fight was razor thin(I had the KD being the difference but prob wouldn't have argued too much w/ a Clottey decision) and Trout was probably too wide.

You had Cotto-Trout a draw while the judges had it deeply in favor of Trout. Doesn't that go against your argument about Cotto getting gifts in MSG?
