      You mean he took advantage of a cripple knowing that the Canelo fight would still be on the table afterwards?

      He's fighting Canelo next for money instead of the number 1 guy at Middleweight.

        Why should he fight GGG? He makes more money fighting Canelo or Floyd. More recognition if he beats Canelo or Floyd and probably has a better shot at beating those two as well. Lets be honest GGG, is way too big for Cotto, and that will be a huge advantage for him in a fight with Cotto. Now I don't believe Cotto will never fight GGG, but that fight will always be there for him because GGG will always be an avoided fighter.

        So, why now, when he has bigger paydays out there? Also I am a big fan of GGG, but what has he done to deserve the big fights? Who has he really beaten? Why not fight a big name that is not at the elite level like Chavez Jr, that way he can keep building up to the elite level and keep getting his name out there for the casual fans. Btw, Martin Murray is not the key to that either, Carl Froch on the other hand would also be a good choice. In fact why doesn't any1 believe he should at least get the other belts before facing Cotto, how about a fight with Quillin? It doesn't do much to promote himself with the casuals but it is another belt, or do they worry Quillin could win and ruin his chances on picking on the smaller Cotto, now who is scared?

          Cripple. I laugh at you people who say that, cuz before the fight ya wasn't talking like that saying that a 50% martinez would be too much for cotto. He wasn't a cripple. He was fine. The only problem was that he fought someone who actually knows how to fight, has head movement, feet movement, boxing skills, power puncher. All he did was fight standing statue p. williams, chavez jr, pavlik had alcohol and drug issues and imo he lost the murray fight. Funny how you say that, about fighting the number 1 guy, cuz cotto has already stated plenty of times that hell fight ggg after the canelo fight. I also have stated that if he DOES NOT fight ggg after the canelo fight, that he MUST vacate the belt. Im a huge cotto fan, but first and foremost im a fan of boxing first. Now, on to you, mr carl frampton fan, why doesn't frampton get in the ring with the obvious, number 1 122 lbs fighter, Rigondeaux. According to you, "the fight dont make financial sense".

            He took a calculate risk. Canelo would still be there if Cotto would of lost to Martinez but the $10 mil would not be there. Now that Cotto beat Martinez, Cotto will get paid more than $10 mil for Canelo.

            If GGG would of destroyed Martinez the way Cotto did. All of you guys would be like GGG destroyed the MW King. We wouldn't hear about his knee

              I don't criticise Cotto for fighting Canelo.

              Just weird how you **** on fighters for taking money fights but when Cotto does it, you don't seem to mind.

                so he should have no problem about facing golovkin,he shouldnt bring up that ggg doesnt sell because martinez doesnt sell either,that ppv didnt do good,but we all know cotto turned down 10 million bcuz he knew it was a sure win against an aging martinez and then he can make more after becoming a champ not bcuz he chose glory over money,if he really feels like that he will pick ggg over canelo but he wont because ggg isnt old and hasnt been inactive for over a year coming off surgeries... cotto picking sergio over canelo was about being smart not about glory over money, and that will be proven when he avoids ggg
