Cotto is the man because he will literally fight anyone. But he gets stopped in this one. He is too small and too chinny for a big, quick, athletic puncher like Sergio. Kudos for wanting the fight though.
He didn't want this fight until Sergio had all these injuries and is toward the end of his career. Will he fight Golovkin if he beats Sergio? I doubt it.
Props to Miguel Cotto, this man Is the definition of a warrior. With Sergio"s layoff, Injury's and age, Cotto has a legitimate chance. It only takes one fight to get old and this just might be that fight for Martinez.
I know this fight is for the lineal world title and I don't think it really is. The lineal champ should be the best middleweight in the world and Cotto clearly is not that. Cotto recently lost two in a row at 154 and he never beat any 160 pounders. Sure, Cotto wants to fight in the garden which gives him the edge but even so the much bigger, better Martinez should win by KO. Whoever wins this fight I will accept as the lineal middleweight champ when they fight and defeat GGG and that will never happen.
If cotto wins, golovkin will never get his shot. I think martinez stops cotto though, and HBO will likely throw enough money at martinez to fight golovkin next.
