    Margarito had done nothing to re-establish himself as a top fighter since getting whupped by Shane.

    Cotto is big in name only, cause his fans will always be there for him. Otherwise his resume hasnt been much to brag about for years now.

    I know he is a bigger money maker then Martinez is, but with respect to the actual sport of boxing and the fact that Martinez agrees to give him his shot, he should at least let Martinez have his name first in the title, and walk in the ring second.

      I don't know, maybe Floyd fighting Khan on ppv doesn't sit right with me.

        Didn't stop about 50% of the media and fans from saying Margarito was going to make him take a knee again.

          Irrelevant.

          Let me re-phrase my question.

          When's the last time Cotto beat a top fighter?

            cotto is aging better than sergio ring wise. Sergio should have lost to murray.

              It doesn't sit right with anybody. Everyone knows it's a crap fight.

                I would wait until its official announced to take a dump on that fight; if it does it deserves to be slandered.

                  TS is mad doe... Since Floyd continues to duck Pac he is frustrated and tries to take on Cotto by hating on his ability to FACE ANYONE, and NOT AFRAID of facing Sergio who Floyd has also duck.

                  Question to TS? Why if Floyd going to fight Khan who is Pac's leftover...hell even worse....a guy who Pac used to beat on daily basis since Khan was his sparing partner.

                  Cotto going up to face the Linear MW Champion of the World arguably P4P 3-6 vs Floyd fighting Pac's sparing partner?

                  I guess that we all have standards.....

                    I sure hope it does not. That'd be a hug hole for his fans to dig their way out of defending it.

                      Reality is that Cotto is the A side no one is arguing or debating that. The issue I see is that many here act like Martinez is a nobody who should just be happy Cotto decided to fight him. Martinez like all elite fighter have a big ego and are gonna have issues not being able to demand a few things when he is the champ.

                      Many of you saying Cotto doesn't need Martinez but what other middleweight champ is he going to fight where he'll make 8 digits? Heck no other fighter will get this fight on ppv let alone give him that high a payday.
