Cotto vs. Martinez may as well be RJJ vs. Tito

    A worthless money fight for two past it boxers who have no where to go in their divisions without taking a loss.

    Can't believe this fight is even being hyped.

    Cotto isn't retired, coming off a good win!

    Martinez has way more than RJJ has in the tank, hasn't been KO'd like Roy was when he fought Tito...

    Not a good comparison in my opinion. I am pumped for this bout.

    Fading bad against Jr. and getting knocked down, losing in his backyard against a B- level brit, and being a 40 year old speed based fighter. He's not looking hot. He would be a big underdog against GGG at this point, which says a lot.

    Rodriguez was set up to be knocked down by Cotto. The reality is he's not effective at 154+. Cotto is two weight classes and two horrible beatings away from his prime.
