Regarding his performance in the Cotto fight, Martinez didn't blame his nagging injuries. "I didn’t do much worse than usual. I faced a great fighter who connected a terrific punch in the first round, and after the first visit to the canvas everything was uphill for me," he said.

a quote from that same article you provided. NEXT EXCUSE!

We all know Cotto beat one of the best p4p fighters at 160 with zero knee problems, and with ease, didn't have to work hard on fight night. But when you tell him GGG is his mandatory, he turns back to 154 with his tail between his legs. What a Diva.

be mad at martinez for picking on a "blown up welterweight" as ya was calling him. Oh wait martinez wasn't in his prime. No sh^t cotto wasn't either. Now go cry me a river.

Delvin Rodriguez just had a split-draw with Joachim Alcine....... in 2014.


Martinez- let's not even talk about that. That simply wasn't Sergio Martinez in there. Before that what has he done.....? He lost to Austin Trout. Like, he looked terrible.

Austin Trout's best career wins are Miguel Cotto..... AND, wait for it.........



DELVIN RODRIGUEZ.



Austin Trout is literally fuc**n terrible. Lmao. Dude is only known cause he beat Miguel Cotto. Thats the ONLY "top" fighter, he's EVER beaten. The man just went life and death with some indigenous Australian goat-milker. Yeah, Cotto has no chance at MW..... maybe against a top 50 MW. Maybe.

If you have followed Cotto's career, you would recognize a drop off in hunger and skill not long after he fought Mosley, and got busted up by Margarito. His relationship with his uncle/trainer imploded, he trained himself half halfheartedly through his next couple fights, then gets a little back in focus with Steward at the helm. That duo was short lived as Steward was mainly focused on Wlad. Then Cotto moves on to Diaz, who tried to completely change Cotto's style and training. Doing unorthodox training and trying to turn Cotto into a Cuban point artist, set Cotto two steps back again. They tried to fool the fans and say it was a good combination, but in reality it was no better than Santiago. The last fight with Diaz was against Austin Trout, and Cotto came in sluggish and out of peak condition. Cotto had a weak training camp and was even flown out of Big Bear weeks early to Florida, effectively ruining all the high altitude training. When an athlete does this, they endure blood sludge and become easily winded as the body is readjusting to sea level.

Getting with Roach revitalized Cotto. He also got a new strength and conditioning coach in Gavin (GSP's same S&C coach). It's evident in his two fights and evident in his training camp footage. You cannot tell me viewing footage of Cotto with Roach and Gavin, is the same Cotto in training camp footage with Santiago, Diaz, and Steward. It's a night and day difference.

Top Rank can't compete with that, which is what I've been saying. Top Rank offers money, RocNation offers growth and money. Even if all of it falls flat on it's face, at least RocNation is trying to expand Cotto's brand not just put him in a fight and be done with it.
