What if Cotto would've retired after the Martinez win?

Would he have gotten any respect for riding out on a high note

Yes he would have. He isn't a real middleweight so nobody would begrudge him his exit. Sitting on the title and not defending it is another matter.

hell yea...what great ending that woulda been

It would have been good, but people still would have said he retired to avoid Golovkin, and the hate would continue as it does today.

^^^This is exactly what I thought^^^ The GGGtards would've claimed victory as they do over 154lb fighter that doesnt want to fight him for what ever reason.

same way it will be after any other fights, retire as a bum

Yet another Cotto thread,
For such a hated fighter he sure gets a lot of attention and you guys wonder why he thinks he's a popular fighter.

[North Star]

Maybe, maybe not. You can never underestimate the lengths critics go to, to discredit someone they don't like. Hell, they probably would have dreamed up some belief that he retired to avoid Mayweather or Canelo taking the MW title. You never know with these "fans".

I like Cotto, I actually posted this thread because I like to bait the GGGtards.
