For all those who THINKS that martinez is the better fighter. He has been dropped in his past four fights. Got a gift decision in his last fight vs murray. He beat an old pavlik who has only jermaine taylor has his notable win. An old taylor as a matter of fact who arthur abraham did better than pavlik. Chavez jr. didn't throw any punches until the last round, because he is the type of fighter who needs to set his feet to throw those big shots, so since he was down on the scorecard he just started swinging punches and dropped martinez. Matthew macklin is a nobody, darren barker is a nobody, Serhiy Dzinziruk is a nobody, Paul Williams was a good fighter but he did lose to carlos quintana, and they would have fought a 3rd time but williams got into that accident. Erislandy Lara got robbed in that Pwilliams fight. He couldn't even beat kermit cintron convincingly, and as a puertorican I can tell you cintron is ass. Other than those fighters, he has fought plenty of bums in spain and argentina to pad up that record. Oh, and when he fought for the 1st time in nevada, he got ko'd by margacheatoh and then went back to spain to fight more bums. Now, styles makes fights. I see some people here saying that cotto gets hit alot. yes he did, thats because whenever he used to throw punches he would switch up his stance and that was when he was vounorable(spellcheck). Cotto understands that now that roach pointed that out to him, (the main reason pacquiao was even able to tag him so many times). Stylistically wise, He is back to the old cotto, dig that hook to the liver, something that he has gotten away from in recent years due to his different trainers. Mayweather knows this, (dont get mad mayweather fanboys, im just using him as an example). When cotto was 31-0 and just beat mosley, he was a body hooking machine. Then, a month later after the ricky hatton fight, mayweather retired saying that he has nothing left to prove, meanwhile cotto and him was in the same weight division. He only unretired after cotto lost to margarito, changed trainers, changed his STYLE of fighting, giving up the left hook to the body for a jab and being more defensive.
WAR COTTO!!!! PUNETA!!!!

Televised murder
Every true boxing fan here knows that both fighters are in tough this Saturday night. Cotto has a lot to deal with considering the move in weight, and being naturally smaller. Sergio has been out of the ring about 14 months. I don't care how talented a fighter may be (and Sergio is a very talented fighter), you are gonna have some ring rust after that type of layoff. And I personally don't think Cotto should be his first fight back after 14 months, regardless of the size advantages he has. Either way, neither fighter is gonna dominate the other. It's gonna be an exciting fight and they will both have their moments.
Now that the objective side is finished, as a fan I roll with Cotto every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Not just because I'm Boricua but because he is the realest fighter in the game. No talk, no hoopla, he just gets in the ring and let's his hands do the talking. That's what boxing should be about, a shame a lot of fighters aren't the same way
