What does youre statement have to do with cotto and martinez 'comparable power??? You said you would put any kind of money martinez hits harder then cotto!!?? Who got rocked? Who couldnt recover?is that not evident enough? That tells you right there, dont make excuses you picked wrong deal with it...
And this is boxing martinez was so great in your eyes that he was gonna beat cotto no matter what. His defence sucks and got cAught, thats his mistake. Cotto worked for that shot, martinez didnt let him get nothing, so of course if somebody allows you to hit in anx break his nose and concuss him it might happen , but would you be able to do that with a boxer who knows how to slip punches?? I doubt it!Comment

People are hating because their assessment of this fight was so inaccurate. Martinez has never been physically strong and they expected him to push around the smaller more compact fighter. Martinez has never been a one shot knock out punched but they expected him to blow out Cotto. Martinez has fought taller bigger men yes but they were all slow plotting come straight forward fighters.
One thing no one has mentioned is that Martinez has more power when fighting taller guys because he punches from his hips or his chest at the highest, because of that, Martinez gets more torque and strength on his punches when punching on and upward angle. Fighting a shorter man reduces his punching power significantly, not because he has no power but because where his punch begins. This is why before he moved up to fight Williams, Martinez was fighting bumbs/smaller men at a lower weight and barely registered any knock outs.Comment

Martinez was a bit overrated and Cotto was being underrated due to his losses to Manny, *Margarito* Floyd and Trout. Anyone can lose to either Manny or Floyd, it's almost expected. In Margarito, you had a clown with magic plaster wraps and it STILL took him 11 rounds. Cotto fought on with a broken nose for 9 rounds, drinking his own blood, unable to breath really. My point is that when you look at this a bit deeper, you can see how Cotto was always the better fighter and on a higher level than Sergio. When their worlds met, it became clear. Sergio's brain was scrambled every time Cotto caught him. Watching his earlier fights, I did not see a major difference in his foot work. He simply had no answer for Cotto's smart aggression.Comment

No1 is mad, im actually more sad because he wasnt healthy which would of made it an epic fight in my mind. Lol, now a shorter fighter has the edge over a taller fighter? I believe Trout was taller then Cotto, where was his torque then? Trout boxed the **** outta him from the outside and neutralized Cottos whole offense. So with your logic Paul Williams should be on the disadvantage from the get because of his 6''5 stature. I hate to break it to you but boxing skills matter more then how short or tall you are, your just bringing another useless point to justify Cottos win. Every major boxing outlet media had Martinez favorite for a reason, so I guess we're all living in a different universe. No1 is hating on Cotto, I just dont think he has really proven much these last 2 years with wins over Delvin Rodriguez and Crippled Sergio as much as Cotto fans make it out to be. Before giving Chavez a boxing lesson he had 4 consecutive knockouts in defending his belt. He was 154 pounder owning middleweights, if you watched his previous fights you could tell that his style is to move and box from the outside making it harder to get knockouts, doesnt necesarrily mean your a bad fighter (Mayweather ring a bell??) we will never how it woulda turned out if Sergio was healthy.Comment
