    De La Hoya was a overhyped fighter being schooled by Sturm, Martinez was shot .. not easy to pick.

    Martinez by far... Lineal Middleweight Champ and Cotto moved up in weight to face him.

    No one picked pacquiao to win. Plenty of people picked cotto to win.

    Pacquiao moved up 2 divisions after just 1 fight at 130.

    Cotto Martinez. Short memory people. Cotto just lost twice in a row and lost to Trout, clear underdog here. Pac was an even bigger underdog but he didn't just win the Lineal championship against The champ at that division.

    Cotto by miles

    Manny fought a guy at a weight he hadn't fought at in 7 years.
