If Cotto were to lift the lineal middleweigh title, that would be incredible...

    If Cotto somehow wins...it's one hell of an accomplishment. I like Martinez by clear decision...and I believe that Martinez will fight Golovkin.

    It would be very impressive. Only thing I would not care for is the whole "first Puerto Rican to win world titles in 4 divisions"..given how he won the titles at 140 and 147.

    Firstly, I just can't see it. I'd say Cotto is on a par with Maravila technically, if not ahead, but the speed, power and other physical dimensions just don't favour him...and he's up against a southpaw.

    But hypothetically speaking, this would be Cotto's greatest win by some shot. And adding it to Mosley and Judah at 147 as well as an under-rated campaign at 140, it would seriously enhance his legacy.

    Cotto sucks, and anyone who says otherwise doesn't know **** about boxing and should find a different sport to watch

    Nice work, I'm really genuinely happy for Cotto.

    Martinez seemed to lose his equilibrium in that first, and I don't think the old man can take a knockdown like he used to...Nonetheless, an excellent, measured performance from Miguel. Left hook leads worked a charm against a relatively static southpaw, and he controlled the fight from start to finish.

    Anybody could have beaten THIS Martinez, anybody

    Cotto's victory proved nothing, aside from Sergio being a twat who lied about his injuries to rip off the fans for a final payday. He had no business in that ring, none

    It doesn't change the fact that Cotto fought a near perfect fight, and that he's the middleweight champion of the world.

    A bit of a farce if truth be told.

    Static target, couldn't set up his feet. No leverage in his punches, no balance.

    It WOULD be huge and historical indeed.

    But it won't happen. Cotto won't fight GGG ever.

    I'm astonished. Sergio's done, but who would have thought this? I, myself was certain Miguel was going to take a beating, but am so pleasantly surprised. Cheers, Miguel!!!
