Will Miguel Cotto avoid Maravilla Martinez like the plague?

who cares, he would be outmatched in every way, I want to see him against Berto, that would be a better fight.

 

Sugar ray robinson.

where all his fights worthy opponents?

where la mottas? durans? willie peps? joe louis? alis?

cotto has the best resume today. he can fight a few cans next he deserves it

 

Cotto would be a fool to go anywhere near Martinez.

Of course, Cotto has never shied from a challenge, so he might just be foolish enough to get himself in trouble.

 

Is it a typo if you do it twice in a row like that or just not know what you're spelling?

 

another thread where i regret not reading every post but cotto is THE LAST person in the world who can be criticized for fighting weak competition. who cares if he doesn't fight martinez: he's earned it. he could fight betty ****ing white and I wouldn't blame him

 

he should. that would be a decent fight, but i've got maravilla all the way. too fast, too well conditioned, altogether just too good.

 

:thumbsup

 

I actually think Cotto has more of a chance vs Martinez than against Kirkland, PW or Angulo because of styles. I still favor Martinez to win though.

 

He'd get more respect from me, if anything. That old broad is tough as nails.

Considering Cotto fights whomever is put in front of him be it legends in Manny or common thugs in Margacheato why would he duck Maravilla ..This will end up being one hell of a scarp if its made ..Please contiue to underestimate Miguel .Please do on heart alone he's undefeated haters !

 

I seriously doubt Arum was stupid enough to say, "I know what the fans want, and they can go **** themselves."

Report the source or you're just blowing your typical hyperbole. If he did say it then I apologize, but most of your posts are full of **** so I doubt this one is any different.

 

Cotto would fight Godzilla in a pool of sea water at this point in his career if the money was right. He fights for the best paycheck and is one mentally tough SOB. I don't think he fears anyone and I think he will go out with a bang.

 

He is far from the "last" person to be criticized for fighting weak competition. He has been a titlist for over five years and has never been the linear champ at any weight he has fought. He was moved very carefully and has fought a lot of over matched fighters prior to Mosley.

 

That would be quite a challenge for Cotto and I think the fight would really sell well as both are title-holders (including Martinez being the lineal MW champ) and both have a penchant for making exciting fights.

It may be too tall of a task for Cotto though. It's one thing to only take on fights that you know you're going to win and avoid winnable challenges. It's another thing to take on a challenge when its highly likely you're going to get your butt kicked unless the incentive ($$$$$) is high to do so (which I think it could be, I think this fight is pretty marketable). In the end, I think Arum keeps Cotto far away from Martinez and continues to do his own little house shows with him.
