cotto has been washed up for a long time now. he didn't win many rounds at all against trout.
the question in this fight is: how much more does martinez have left?
in his prime he beats the hell out of cotto. his arms are too long, and he's too fast. he's a middleweight. that's if he's in his prime.
martinez is a purely athletic fighter. his legs are going, going, and almost gone. if he doesn't have the mobility he goes life and death with martin murray.
this is a strange fight. it's a better fight because of how faded these guys are. cotto is several weight classes above his best [welterweight,] and martinez is on ancient legs.

i expect a fun fight, actually.
Washed up fighters don't win lineal titles typcially. Cotto isn't washed up. He's past prime, but there's a vast difference between washed up and past prime.
