    Martinez is a shell of his prime. His style relies on athleticism and half-decent Euro boxers like Macklin, Barker & Murray gave him trouble. Arguably, Murray beat him.

    I think Martinez has a knee which could shatter at any given moment. Hence he's not running. He has had serious hand & shoulder problems aswell. Perhaps Chavez Jr took something out of him in the 12th.

    Cotto could do it.
    Murray and Barker are MUCH taller than Cotto...getting pressure from a taller guy is much different than what Cotto brings to the table.

    Even a more stationary Martinez can mark up Cotto's face so bad that the ref will have to beg the doctors to stop the fight.

    Martinez is not a shell of himself-at least not in his last fight-BUT the injuries are present.Even with the injuries he was able to finish fights against much larger men than Cotto...in fact, Sergio hurt Murray in the final round when he himself had bad injuries.

    Cotto is at a disadvantage in every category-speed, strength, power, height, reach,etc etc etc....how the hell is Cotto not going to get stopped in this fight????

    As much as you think Sergio is a shell-where the hell do you think Cotto is at in this stage of his career?
