Comments Thread For: Cotto: Canelo, Golovkin Have To Be Calm, Wait Their Turn

Martinez wasnt injured for the fight, that is a blatant lie perpetrated by people like you. Martinez had knee surgery right after the Murray fight, he had over a year to heal and recover. If you want to say his knee was not the same thats one thing, but injured he was not. Martinez was injured going into the Murray fight, he injured his knee, shoulder and wrist and Murray still couldnt beat Martinez well enough to get the nod. Cotto fought a Martinez who was in far better physical shape then his previous fight, and Cotto wiped the floor with him.

so his knee was injured before and after the cotto fight but not during it? wow that's impossible!

No it wasnt injured during the fight. Martinez was taken to the hospital immediately following the fight and the MRI's were negative, didnt even show swelling. He is not the same fighter since the surgery that much was evident, he was also so rusty and his camp was mostly a make weight camp in which he didnt spar at all. If you are going to compete on this level then you need to spar. the mixture of these thing hurt him in the ring more then the knee.

While you fight mega stars like Geale? Sure cotto.

Geale was good enough to fight GGG so let Cotto get some.

[ThatDude44]

No way in hell Cotto will sign to fight GGG unless there's a weight draining catch weight clause involved.

No weight draining, GGG says he can 154.

so how did his knees get so fu-cked up after the cotto fight? sorry that makes no sense. he had major surgery before the cotto, he needs major surgery now yet somehow during the fight his knees were fine?

really? and you are his doctor because his doctors seem to think his knees are completely fu-cked and the reason he didn't spar is because his knees were so fu-cked. are you understanding yet or still going with the magical healing knee theory that you came up with?

don't agree with weight soley. Cotto has earned right to dictate his career. hopefully he at least get's an opportunity to fulfill his word.

Sure he has earned the right to fight who he wants, but does he have to hold the linear MW Championship of the world while he does it? If he's so confident he can beat GGG why not vacate the title, take a couple of money fights, let GGG unify and then come back up and challenge for it? Cotto will still be the A-Side and make the bulk of the $$$$$.

This is on of those rare times in modern day back where there is a real opportunity to unify a division and Cotto is ****ing it up. By all means fight whoever the hell you want to but at least show some respect to the fans, to the sport and to the history of the belt and give it up to the guys who are prepared to fight for it, and without the CW bull****.

[b d w]

. So basically ggg needs to get his $$$ up.

So he's got to work harder so he can become a big enough name like Geale??

[Mr.Fantastic]

How can anybody defend this guy is beyond me. He thinks he's on that Mayweather, Pacquiao level. He is not. Never has been, never will be.

And now he's fighting Lord Golovkin's leftovers at catchweight

Geale, please knock this ****in diva and his delusional, nationalistic **** boys into oblivion.

Great Post!

Again Immediately following the fight Martinez was taken to one of the best hospitals in New York city where Mri's of his knees were NEGATIVE not even swelling. What part of that do you not understand?

Martinez saw specialists who determined that he may need surgery to strengthen the areas that protect the knee, which he also said can possibly be done with special preparation and training. If he does the surgery he will have to retire because of the healing time, if he can just work out he will fight again. His knee is not as strong as it once was due to two surgeries, which is why he needed a brace for the fight, which is why he felt his knees were week. So as I said Martinez was not injured before, during, or after the fight.

I know the problem, you don't understand the definition of injury. Ill give you a hint, a weak knee due to a past injury is not equal to a week knee due to injury.
