Comments Thread For: Martinez-Cotto Will Have No Catch-Weight Clause

[Realizniguhnit]

Martinez is taller then, not bigger. Martinez is taller than Golovkin too, would you say he is bigger?

Martinez isn't taller then Golovkin fool u dreaming? Martinez is taller and bigger than Cotto, u think 5-10 pounds don't make a difference at 160 for Cotto then you are living in wonderland. Sure Martinez isn't the same as 3-4 years ago but Cotto is not exactly a young lion.. Floyd seemed bigger than Cotto the way he fought him and Cotto outweighed him by 15 pounds...

You guys acting like this is new cotto and roach stated months ago that they don't need no catch weight 160 is fine cotto is going to make history keep going with a guy who is going downhill and actually got dropped by a feather fisted puncher in pwill in the first fight cotto can and will hurt sergio

Wasn't even a knockdown. He got hit on the shoulder. Good argument.

Lmaoo it had better numbers because it had Garcia and Lucas fighting if it didn't have that it wouldn't have sold as much which fight wAs more exciting because we all kno Canelo put ppl to sleep

Of course Team Martinez knows Cotto has a certain draw. But Martinez is a certain draw too. Not as much as Cotto does, so Cotto can call more shots than Martinez. But Cotto can't go overboard. He can win on some demands, but he cannot be a big diva like Pacquaio or Mayweather can. Canelo is the third biggest draw by the way, not Cotto.

And yes, I think Martinez juices. But again, I think Cotto will be foolish enough to not even request random drug testing. Instead, he'll be too busy worrying about his demand for Ralph Lauren towels or some ****.

Let's see Canelo's numbers when he's the A-side. Cotto made $3 M for the Rodriguez fight. He doesn't need Sergio either.

There goes another 2 calling him KING Cotto I'm the only one doe.

There's no need to speculate. Cotto and Martinez had infact negotiated in 2011 and it was agreed for a 155 catchweight. Of course he would have gone down an extra messily pound if he needed to, but obviously having the middleweight title on the line would be important the promotion.

So Floyd Fans are now passive and cool with CW's ever since he asked one for canelo? 'Because they've been around for ages' 'because I don't like them in title fights but its cool if it's a 10 rounder non title fight' the demeanor has changed so much after the ginger fight. But before that it was about 'greatness' 'never a cw' 'its about how you apply skills weight wouldn't matter' the ****in irony.


Floyd's CW demand makes Cotto's look good. The only reason why he even told Margacheato he wanted a CW was because he didn't deserve a rematch from the get alas $$$. Cotto felt he took an advantage and made him pay a 1lb price. What did Canelo do to make Floyd demand a CW? Oh wait a boxingscene article Ellerbe pulled out of his ass SMDH

Does one fan=The entire fanbase?

I've never been against catchweights. I don't mind them and I don't see what the issue with them is unless one of the fighters can't make the weight.

The only irk I have with them or had with them in the past is when it's for a title but even then it's not a huge deal.

For example I didn't mind the Pacquaio-Cotto fight at all even though it was for a title because the Pacquaio-Cotto fight was a big fight that had to happen.

I didn't like the Pacquaio-Margarito one but that was more to do with the sham of a title match and the catchweight added fuel to that fire.

Catchweights in general I have no issue with, like I said they've been around a long time.

Because Sergio Martinez doesn't come into a fight at 157 or 158. And there's more than enough information about that. Whenever there is a 30-day weigh-in, he stays well above 170 lbs. So any talk of 157 or 158 for Martinez is just fantasy land talk. Martinez would never agree to catchweight because it's difficult for him to make 160 lbs as it is.

He'd agree to 157 or 158 lbs maybe if it was Pacquaio or Mayweather though, because of the boat loads of money involved, fame, etc. But no way he's going to do it for Cotto.

Did you even read the article or did you just click on the thread to argue.
His adviser clearly states he weighs in at 1 or 2 pounds under the limit.
So 158 would be normal for him.

Cotto's drawing power is not the same as Mayweather/Pac but it was significant. Remember Martinez was fighting the likes of Dzinzurik, Macklin, Barker, Murray. You think he wasn't desperate for a PPV fight? That's why he chased JCC Jr for so long and Cotto is a bigger draw than Chavez.

The rest is just stuff you're making up with no evidence behind it. The fact that Martinez said he would have dropped to 154 for Cotto is not evidence to you though?

Outside of Manny Pacquaio and Floyd Mayweather, I haven't seen Martinez saying he would drop to 154 lbs, and not for Cotto either.

And yes, he did make all sorts of demands like that. At one point Martinez was even fighting about the title of the fight. They wanted Miguel Cotto vs. Sergio Martinez. And Martinez was like **** that.

Gotta have respect for Cotto . King Cotto !!!! But I'm down with Sergio too . May the best man win.
