Funny story though....several ppl saying Citron, P Will, or Pavlik would destroy Cotto. I'm not really sure where this comes from....none of those guys could "box." Not one of them could "box" like Cotto on his laziest of days. Where is the justification for this?

He beat Mosley when Mosley was still a stud. Hell mosley could beat those guys. After Cotto becomes the FIRST pr to be a 4 division champion (which should say alot) by beating and I mean BEATING the Lineal champ. He's taken on all challengers, you would figure people would like a champion like him but People wanna talk him down. Its a shame. Let me make them even madder HAIL KING COTTO. LOL

It was a shut out. Not close. No matter the condition, it was a straight beatdown. Believe that
Sergio Martinez is almost 40 years old. He has had two right knee surgeries, and a surgery on his ankle. For many athletes, a single knee surgery is effectively a career-ender. Sergio's comments about his second surgery indicate that the extent of the injuries to his knee were very serious (he wasn't just dealing with a partially torn meniscus). If he wasn't a champion, I suspect those around him would have more firmly suggested that he consider retirement. Instead, he chose to push his body to its breaking point.
Bottom line: it's not an excuse to say that Martinez's injuries and age (which are related) caught up with him last night. That's a reality most fighters eventually face. Martinez lost to a great champion who deserves credit regardless of the circumstances under which he won, but that doesn't mean that you can pretend the circumstances were different than they actually were.
