Seeing how the fight played out, i think its safe to assume that cotto would be trouble for serg at any time in their careers..
Cotto was by far the most skilled fighter serg has ever fought

We are not all blind, we all saw that Martinez had no legs. We can discuss issues without taking away from Cotto. Martinez chose not to make any excuse in that interview with thousands of Cotto fans in attendance, he could have chose to run back to his dressing room like Cotto alway does when he loses and not give an interview right there but he chose to be classy.

I got a new one for the thread. Martinez is no longer the guy who beat Pavlik and Williams. And........his legs seemed weak. Not sue if it was getting punched early or if the knees were actually giving out. I remember seeing him sliding one of his legs around the ring for a full minute at one point and to me it was very sad to see a proud champion do that. This was as abrupt of a turn around as when Jones went from winning a HW title to looking ordinary in the Tarver I and then getting caught in Tarver II.

Originally posted by mathed View PostI had full trust in what they were saying about his knees being 100% but it was clear that he had no stability in them at all last night. He was falling all over the place, sometimes a punch didn't even land. The knees looked no better than in the Murray fight.
Great win for Cotto but definitely not what would have happened a couple years ago.
