Dear God, beat up a shot to pieces Martinez and now we have to endure 1000s of threads of who would win in a fight Cotto or The Incredible Hulk.
1)Cotto would not fight Martinez when Martinez would have destroyed him.
2)Cotto becomes an A side fighter... by losing his A fights. His win against a shot to bits Martinez is now his best win.
3)Martinez showed up barely capable of standing, at times his knees would give even due to the momentum of his own punches alone. The man cant stand well, let alone fight. That's Martinez own fault and he has no one else to blame but himself, but does that make Cotto some kind of legend?
For ***s sakes no. Unfortunately Martinez couldnt fight and he shoudlnt have showed up this way. We didnt see some epic battle where both guys went to war and Cotto came out victorius. We saw an old guy that can barely fight get punched. Could it had been an epic war? Sure, if Martinez had been capable of fighting half as well as we hoped for it would have been a good fight. With a 80% Martinez he would have dominated and most likely won. This shadow of who Martinez once was isnt exactly fight of the year candidate.
You'd think these things would be obvious enough among boxing fans but well..
Ok, I'm out of here until the threads of "Did a Cotto hook cause the Big ****?" threads calm down.
