I don't blame Martinez for taking the Cotto fight or even the Chavez fight for that matter. Both guys were great paydays for him, but both also refused/ducked Golovkin. It's the Murray fight that shows how Martinez was being handled. They claimed Golovkin hadn't fought anyone, yet who had Murray fought? A draw against Sturm, oh another title holder that refused/ducked Golovkin. GGG was fighting 4 times a year against anyone that would take the fight, while others were milking their standing. You hold it against him that Golovkin had no real names, yet he was taking on the same opposition that these champs were defending against & doing it in much more dominating fashion.
Oh, btw he was also rated the #2 MW while Martinez was #1, but we never got the best vs the best.
