    Martinez will destroy cotto, you honestly didnt watch him fight Murray. Martinez did well in the first five rounds, but then seemed to tire and Murray started knocking him around. Martinez should have lost that fight and only won for the sake if his Argentinian fans . Look up the fight or read an article. Martinez is too old to be a heavy favor.

    martinez is getting on no doubt about it but what makes u think cotto can beat him ?

    he is aging just the same as martinez, has lost to some decent fighters and some good ones as of late.. and say what you want about martinez against murray but he still won. and murray aient no bum so he might have slipped by he is still JUST good enough to be a MW champion (except for maybe GGG)

    cotto has a good style to cause martinez trouble but martinez will pop him from a distance and cause cotto to go gunshy. pac made him gunshy when he first hurt him and he has faded alot since then

    The Murray fight??

    The one where he fought a strong MW, with a broken hand?
    And where he required knee surgery after?

    Thats the fight you want us to watch?

    Also, fighting on a rain soaked canvas didn't help Martinez any.
    Murray won that fight though.

    You dont think that maybe having a BROKEN HAND, and a knee injury that REQUIRED RECONSTRUCTIVE surgery had something to do with his performance?

    And Murray is a strong, powerful MW, not a 5'7 fighter, who has fought as low as 140.

    COTTO had problems with TROUT a few years back. What makes u think he'll beat Martinez? stronger more proven champ.

    pretty much this. if martinez even with injuries can just edge out a win over a natural and strong MW then i have bad news for cotto.
