    Cotto's win over Martinez lets rank it

    Is it better then Floyds over Mosley??
    Is it better then Cotto's over Mosley's?
    Is it better then Tito's over Whitaker?
    Was it better then Oscars over Chavez?

    In my opinion all htese are solid wins, but on this forum certain fights get discedited while others are praised... Ya'll discredit Calzaghes wins over Roy and Hopkins but praise Cottos over Martinez...Please explain and please no name calling of flaming

        It's a very difficult win to rate, I'll leave it as a solid victory. Cotto's win over Mosley is better, not even debatable.

            I rank it right under Floyd's win over Guerrero and his draw against Maidana.

                Tough question.

                What's funny is an old past prime fighter has nothing to lose. If he wins he's legendary if he loses he's shot. Lol

                  The problem was Martinez not only is old and past prime, he was freaking injured.

                  Murray beating Martinez is a case of an old past prime fighter losing, not Cotto.

                    Cotto did great, but Martinez definitely showed he is much less than his best anymore. On paper its a great win for Cotto, but in reality, its no where near his best win. The HBO guys are really good at making you think Cotto is sensational now with Roach.
