as if he knew his body/knees were finished and still took the fight just to get one last big check? even tho he ruined his image and dissapointed a lot of fans?

Yes. Sergio is the first hyped favorite in history with a win over the amazing HOF Chavez Jr. and Pavlik, to lose to a realistically better "underdog."
Cotto "cashed out" on Sergio's temple.

I like Sergio, but that was a money grab.
He's been done since he tore his knee in the 12th round against Chavez. Looked terrible in his return, required more knee surgeries, wasn't allowed to spar because of the knee yet it's alright to fight for real with it? He knew he was done and added a nice amount to his bank account...fair enough.Comment

He truly believed he could win despite knowing his knee wasn't in good shapeComment

Absolutely yes. Only hopelessly deluded Cotto fans would argue that Sergio was anything other than a wreck that night.Comment
-
Yeah, he was stupid enough to think he was gonna run Cotto into counters in that condition.Comment

I'm sure he went into the Cotto fight believing he would win and believing he was okay, but he was likely thinking Cotto was the end if he won. He's probably only being stubborn now because he doesn't want to go out that way.Comment

Sergio wasn't as hurt as ppl make it seem. He wasn't 100% even though he sure as hell did talk like he was. People can't deny that he got clocked though by Cotto with those hooks. The 1st and 3rd kd's were sweet hooks landed on Sergio that took him off his feet.Originally posted by caleman View PostComment

Sergio took the biggest fight that he could get. You can't second guess any fighter for doing that, whether it is in his prime or his final days. The fact that Martinez has said he will fight again indicates that it wasn't a "cash out". Of course we all know that if Sergio was at his best Cotto would have never come knocking on his door anyway.Comment
