I still would like to know why two class act people like cotto and martinez couldnt get along with each other when they met.
Floyd beat De La Hoya at 154, and Floyd started out at 130,so its not a huge difference. Floyd went up as a small welter and beat a good sized light middle.
For those who can't speak Spanish, here's my original translation: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=317608 Great to see my two favorites on the same stage. Pure class.
I have a feeling they favor Cotto slightly. Marquez respects Margarito as a fellow Mexican, but he's expressed disdain at his lack of fundamentals after the Pacquiao fight, and I'm willing to bet that the handwrap allegations don't sit well with his judgment of Antonio. Nacho in "Nuevo Dia" says that Cotto is a good technical fighter and only has to correct a few things to win.
