I think Cotto would have dominated if not stopped Canelo if they were the same size

    Martinez had no legs anymore. Tore his ACL putting down Jr. and you saw how his legs were gone when he got that win against Murray in Argentina. Martinez was my favorite boxer and I have no problem admitting he was shot to shite when he fought Cotto(e). Literal shell of who he was as a fighter. Everyone knows that..but you I guess.

    would you consider the fact that martinez relied on reflexes and awkwardness rather than technique?
    truth is that martinez never had faced an athlete with elite fundamentals and timing, that had a good chin a jab that was on Qawi's level and a high ring IQ.
    Hopkins would have finished martinez inside 5.

    i agree with this post.
    but i also agree with TV azteca's analysts including Julio Cesar Chavez...Cotto won
    not 117-111 because i had it closer, but i saw him win.
    so did many
    i love canelo, he beats gg but he has problems with movers.
    and this is coming from someone that thinks canelo beat lara who gave the fight away.

    Yes i'd agree that Martinez relied on reflex's and timing. Truth is Martinez was finished, really too far gone to be competing with world level operators. Some people felt Martinez fought purely for the money, as he had no chance with them legs once the fight started. They'd of known that in training. It was a cash out fight imo.. Hopkins doesn't beat any world class middleweight fighters in 5 rounds, not even blown up welters. Who do you think wins Martinez V cotto both peak ??

    IF cotto was 7' -275lbs with the same agility and speed he'd be unstoppable, and if I were ggg I'd be mw king

    This is true. Cotto comprehensively outboxed Canelo from A to Z. The size difference was the only real factor in Cotto losing.

    cotto ko's him at most any weight.
    technique over athleticism at the elite level all day.
    and people don't acknowledge the FACT that sergio got rammed with a concussion in rd 1.
    it was not his knees. his legs were spaghetti due to the concussion and that monster continued on for 9 more rds.
    that guy had balls
