    I'm not wrong often, to be honest.

    And how can my opinion be wrong? The fight's not happened yet.

      Look at you little babies crying for Cotto. Hes a fucking a warrior he doesnt need your tears or concern cowards.

      Martinez is a shot fighter imo. Period. Hes finished. Looks older every fight. Gets hurt non stop. Gimme Cotto. Hes going to give Martinez a boxing lesson.
      117-111 Miguel. Cry babies. Boxing doesnt have height and reach classes.

        Tyson was not small he was just short. His frame was heavy and his bone structure and mass was much bigger than someone like Chico Corrales who fought at 130 but was 6 foot 1. Chico Corrales was 6 foot 1 but his bone structure was narrow he couldn't fight at heavyweight because he didn't have the type of bone structure Tyson had to carry the weight.

        Cotto only walks around at 165, he was a big 140 pounder but a smaller 154 pounder, he doesn't even belong at 160 to be honest. 160 guys are walking around 180-190 pounds with naturally bigger frames.

          [QUOTE=Red Slider;14323328]I'm not even a big Cotto fan, but all the signs point to him winning. Size won't be a major factor in this fight.

          Age will be the biggest factor. Martinez is a broke old man these days. He's shot and no one apparently realizes it yet.[/QUOTE]and i think this of Cotto

            Every time fans doubt a short fighter, someone brings up Mike Tyson.. as if he wasn't a freakish, hulking mass of pure muscle smashed into a 5'10 frame.

              lol There are other examples, but that's the one everybody cites.

              Size matters. Of course, there are other considerations, but it's like the old saying goes:"All else being equal, a good big man will always beat a good little man."

                Size plays a part. But this is a very difficult fight for Martinez, considering it's his first fight after surgery, and Cotto can move very well.

                If it's a Martinez from a few years ago then yeah it's a mismatch. But at this moment in time it's a risky and difficult fight for both guys.

                  yes there is a size difference. but thats what real fighters do, they look for a challenge and cotto has certainly done that.

                    I like both guys, and i'm looking forward to the fight. Unfortunatley though, i think the size difference will really start to tell as the fight goes on.
