And most act like Martinez is doing Cotto a favor, when the truth is that as good as Martinez has been he's made little money and Cotto is giving him an opportunity to get a well deserved good pay day. Big money little risk for Maravilla and Cotto win or loose with a good showing will get a pass because supposedly he does not belong in the ring with Martinez. This fight is more about money than anything else the fourth title in as many weight divisions is just an incentive for Cotto. Cotto wins he gets to choose between Money May and Canelo for his retirement fight he looses it's just maybe Canelo. Martinez wins it's another big pay day with Canelo and if he looses it's retirement time or another big pay day in a retirement fight for him and Cotto in a rematch.
    you state the obvious that Martinez is giving the undeserving Cotto a shot at the middleweight title because Cotto is very low risk high reward. Where I don't agree with you is that Martinez is well deserved to use his title to make easy money with a little guy like Cotto who never beat a middleweight but very recently lost back to back fights at 154.
    Martinez has already had more than his share of easy middleweight title defenses and he damn sure already had a big payday fighting Chavez. He should have fought his #1 challenger GGG a long time ago. He takes 18 months off to heal his injuries but that would not be so bad if he would give GGG his deserved title shot now. But instead Martinez fights another cherry pick in Cotto. I would not mind this fight if the winner would fight GGG next. But if Cotto wins he will almost certainly fight Mayweather for his new title leaving GGG to wait some more for his rightful destiny as the true middleweight champ. If Martinez wins as he almost certainly will then he will continue to refuse to fight GGG.
