Has Cotto even earned a crack at a MW title?

[radioraheem]

No one! But his blind fans seem like beating Rodriguez(at 154) earned him that right. Besides Sergio needs to fight guys in his division.

He didn't earn the shot. But cash rules. Professional boxing is a business first. So knowing that, the fight makes sense. And I don't mind it. I think Cotto will beat Martinez anyway.

Cotto is going to take that strap from a rapidly aging Martinez...and suddenly we are looking at Mayweather-Cotto II for the lineage at middleweight.

like we dont have enough paper champs...

i dont see why not. cotto vs martinez sounds like a good fight to me. cotto will fight anybody, he fought margarito when none of the other elite fighters wanted to. hes been in with guys like mosley mayweather pacman etc, he is a 3 weight world champ and i see nothing wrong with him stepping up to fight the champ.

[mathed]

I'm not so sure he has. Who has he beaten in that division to leapfrog over someone else?

He da King doe!!

[Elotero]

Sergio has not... tell me, what's the biggest win of Martinez career? A weeded up version of Chavez Jr? or the Pavlik who struggled with alcohol during his training camp? Or P. Williams who struggled with Ishida? All decent wins still but...

None of those names come close to what Mosley, Mayweather, Margarito, Clottey, Pacquiao... etc ETC were during the time Cotto fought them.

Cotto has never avoided anybody. His resume is truly incredible.

And I hope so man.........

This is all basically foolishness. Pure buffoonery.

Youre comparing Sergio to the Glam division. No, the guys Sergio beat didnt have the Glam like the WW division had but it had some MF punchers and Sergio came out on top - by KO mostly - in a divison higher than his normal weightclass.

[Da Boxer]

He da King doe!!

Not just da King.....he IS The King, King Cotto!

Cotto is a beast. Ill give him that. He will fight anyone and his resume is there to prove it.

If Cotto wins he'll be anything but a paper champ. He'll have beaten the undisputed middleweight champion of the world. It'll be the first lineal championship of his career


That said, I had my heart set on Martinez v Golovkin.

[El Angel]

Why a Sergio fan wouldn't want this fight is beyond me, it's a winnable fight for him and the biggest payday of his career.

But if you're scared to lose... that could change things.
