Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez: I'm Used To Facing Bigger, Stronger Foes

[ColdBlooded]

People will be surprised how big of a size difference there is. And size does matter. Martinez has the reach, the speed, the height, the power, and the chin. People act like Cotto will just swarm Martinez and beat him down. What's to stop Martinez from just beating Cotto down?

[PRPOWERPUNCHES]

Cotto is 33 and will be giving up three inches of height (listed 5'10" to 5'7") and six inches reach (73" to 67"). He's a smaller man than Martinez, but Martinez isn't used to "fighting big," either, as he's generally been the little guy at 160 even though he's really more of a natural junior middleweight.

Serg has 50+ pro fights...He's seen a plenty of smaller fighters in his time between welter & 54...that aspect won't be a challenge. Cotto isn't fast like manny & doesn't move much. His style is to methodically go toward his opponent.

Cotto is the best fighter you ever fought and you wont win cotto by ud

[Mr.Fantastic]

Yes BIGGER but not BETTER. Cotto is the best fighter Maravilla would have faced so far and Cotto has faced all the greats of this era. Martinez will find out the difference of a Murray to a Cotto.

BTW cotto should have put on the contract HGH testing. If Martinez knee is that bad I bet your ass he will juice up.

Another one. Damn nationalistic nuthuggers.

Your making a fortune tellers prediction that he wont be able to pull the trigger? Sergio is not the most accurate puncher in the game. Numbers wise hes less accurate than Cotto and wastes a lot of punches. The best boxer in the game, who is also the most accurate puncher in the game, who is also faster than Martinez was only able to land 25% of his shots on cotto. Cotto is the best fighter Sergio has ever faced. Sergio is not the best fighter Cotto has ever faced. Cotto will bring hand speed, foot speed, defense, an inside game, an outside game that Martinez has never had to deal with. I realize your banking on Cotto being shop worn, but I dont see it yet. Great fighters throughout history have been able to have many tough fights throughout their careers and maintain a certain level of greatness, like a Duran, like a Gomez. Cotto will win this fight for his legacy which he truly cares about.

What's up with these dudes?

If he did, he wouldn't ask for a catch weight.

[Mr.Fantastic]

Never fought a more skilled fighter in your career than what you'll be facing June 7th.

Ok at least this one isn't as bad as the other morons.

[ColdBlooded]

Cotto certainly won't be the best middleweight Martinez has fought. Are people suggesting that Cotto will be better as a middleweight than Martinez last several opponents? Cotto would probably lose to every fighter Martinez has fought at middleweight. Maybe he beats one or two of them. The only concern is the knee of Martinez. What kind of knee injury is still causing this much pain ten months on?

[Augustane]

From what he's saying about his knee, he's definitely on his way out.
