    I agree, the Martinez thing was a bit of a cynical smash and grab, Fight GGG or vacate.

    The WBC can't wait to crown Ggg the full WBC champ, see how quickly they shoved that shirt on him after the Murray fight?

    I'd like to see Cotto V Canelo at 160 with winner facing Golovkin.

    Cotto's title is Martinez's fault, that basically sold it.

    But Cotto shouldn't be allowed to defend a middleweight title against non middleweights.

    It's like Wladimir defending his belts against cruiserweights. Makes no sense.

    Please. Even Roach knew Martinez was shot. To quote Roach before the fight "Martinez is finished. He was ruined by Chavez. He has too much wear and tear. He has nothing left"

    He was taking days out of his training camp because he was incapable of walking! All this was reported prior to the fight.

    Roach and Cotto knew when was the perfect time to go after Martinez.

    Martinez was shot to sh.it after the Chavez Jr fight. Plus Martinez was so eager, almost desperate to fight a PPV fighter / boxing star like Cotto due of the big payday.

    People were fooled by the fact Martinez was physically bigger than Cotto but they didn't see how shot&injuried was Martinez.

    i thought cotto was fighting lara in june for the belt ? other then that the man at mw was sergio and cotto beat him, so cotto is the man at mw. to be the man you have to beat the man and the man was sergio not ggg. cotto can fight who ever he wants and make it a catch weight if he wants to.

    Shouldn't it depend on who the non-middleweight is? Was it not okay that Hatton fought Pacquiao for a title, Cotto fought Pacquiao for a title, Toney fought Jones Jr for a title, Hagler fought Hearns for a title etc?

    You do know Martinez beat Martin Murray prior, and Martinez even admitted that he was so hurt throughout the fight. Murray struggled with that version, but in the Cotto fight, Martinez says he felt 100%.

    Prior to that fight, Cotto knocked-out tough Delvin Rodriguez. I was telling people how Cotto looked like a changed, refreshed man under Roach, but everyone was talking sh!t about how he's the same Cotto. Now that he utterly dominated, mopped the floor with Martinez everyone just wants to put out excuses.
