Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Says He Knows When To Walk Away

Right. Cotto, who couldn't hurt Austin Trout, is going to knock out the middleweight champion of the world. He's going to knock out a guy who's taken much harder punches from much bigger punchers like Pavlik and Chavez without being knocked out. Something tells me Chavez's punches, almost all of which had no effect on Martinez, are much harder than Cotto's.

I wouldn't expect the same Cotto that fought Trout. Power can vary from fight to fight, and sometimes the speed and timing of a punch is more important than the brute force behind it.

Same could be said for Cotto if he loses to Martinez. Cotto can't beat the best at 154 and certainly not at 160. If Cotto could make welterweight without being drained, he'd be a beast there.

Is Sergio not the best at 160? And MC CAN beat him.

All he has to do is get past a beaten up, small, 154 lb fighter. Do people realize how much smaller Cotto is than Martinez's past few foes? The last guy from 154 to move up and challenge Martinez was far more accomplished at 154 than Cotto and got dropped five times by Martinez.

I think it depends on Martinez knee, if he feels some issues in the Cotto-fight, win or lose, i think he retires after that.
I would like a fight against GGG but im sure GGG would get no credit beating him because the haters will say this means nothing because Martinez is shot and to be honest that might be true.
