Comments Thread For: Arum: If Martinez Not 100%, Cotto Wins By KO

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK – Promoter Bob Arum obviously wants Miguel Cotto to upset Sergio Martinez on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

A Cotto win would initiate plenty more big business for the 33-year-old Puerto Rican icon, who’s co-promoted by Arum’s Top Rank Inc. Arum is well aware, though, that the slower, smaller Cotto is about a 2-1 underdog against the Argentine southpaw for a reason.

Cotto's never had "great stamina." All this s*it talking is only fueling Martinez. Sergio by ko in 8 no matter how "great" cotto looks in training. Freddie aint no miracle worker.

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!!!!

Who are you kidding? Sergio is the one talking crap all training camp! Cotto has been nothing, but respectful! What about Sergio's promotor stating that Cotto was going to be knockout! Each side is rooting for there guy! What else do you expect?

WAR COTTO!!!!

. You don't know what your talking about ,have you ever seen a martinez interview, he fought all this bums that you so call,because nobody wanted to fight him everybody was avoiding him, even cotto....ans as far as the cintron fight you need to rewatch it again ,sergio knocked him down with the straight left and got counted out which gives martinez a knock out win but after the bull**** ref and the crying from cintron which he claimed he got head butted instead of the straight left from sergio,the fight continued, do your research before you talk out your as s,its kool your rooting for cotto cause he is puerto rican but he is not better than martinez...anyways martinez by KO before the 9th.

Everybody was avoiding him? Nobody is gonna avoid a dude that has wins in argentina and spain bro. Oh, and by the time he went to middleweight, cotto was still in the welterweight and a few fights later martinez moved up to light middleweight. Anyway, reread what I wrote about cintron... Sergio didn't dominate him and cintron is ass so that tells you much. He beat pavlik that was battling a staph infection and an addiction. Pavlik even came in looking sloppy for that fight. Paul williams was known for not using his size and having no defense. And im not rooting for cotto "just cuz he is puerto rican".

No way Cotto has great stamina with those usual home-cooked meals. Unless he changed his diet to real athlete food, he ain't changing a bit there.
