    I thought cotto asked for 158 Martinez turned it down but without waiting for cotto to argue they pitched 159. I thought I read cotto basically shrugged when they turned down 158 n left it n then martinez countered with 159. Repeated meself a bit but oh well.

    Cotto trying to sneak that 4th world title so he can say he achieved more than Trinidad, lets get this straight Trinidad would have absolutely, positively decimated that midget into submition.

    Cotto should get in no heavier than 155 or else he gonna baloon in there and presente a standing still target easily to be caught by a mobile Sergio who is known to fire from diferente sort of angles and very quick on his feet as a former soccer player. Question of strength is not so much of weight but it's good that Cotto feel pretty well grounded and still mobile enough to step in and out and away and let those hands fly.

    Sugar Ray Leonard was 160-162 and Roberto Duran was not even 160 and they fought in 1989 for the WBC Super Middleweight Championship of the World. At least, Sergio Martinez should be near the 160 pound limit and that's it.
