Now before the stans start going all crazy, this thread is more to see the way of thinking.

Martinez has been inactive for a long time. Being inactive for over a year(due to injuries/surgery), he should of lost his spot, although he does have the ring belt. He also isn't in his prime, coming off surgery, almost 40 years old, and did not look great in his last fight.


Cotto on top of that adds a catch weight to it, so should he get full credit, some credit, or not any, and why?

Your probably fuming over the fact that you and the other ******s that called him the vacant belt king now have to call him the 4 division champion lineal middleweight king.

I picked Sergio, shot or not bad knee whatever, he signed the contract and got in the ring, plenty of great fighters have gone out like that, in his mind he thought he had a chance or he wouldn't of took the fight, cotto looked impressive, I was surprised by his patience, accuracy and defense, he looked good.

Sort of went up 3 points, my stance has always been sort of. That said, lets not ignore the fact that Martinez has NEVER faced anyone with the skills of Cotto. Just saying, I don't think we can ignore that. Martinez has been done at the elite level since losing to Murray who is basic at best.

Yes , Again Martinez got in there with a bad knee that his problem not Cotto..

[Buckfever]

What surprised me was how often Cotto seemed to stun him. I thought Cotto's mechanics looked improved, especially on the combos.

Said it for months and no one listened. It's being grossly ignored now as well.

And that's coming from the dude who I called it for not even voting in his own thread. The excuses never run out from that guy it's always something, always.
