Should Cotto get credit for beating Martinez?

How much credit can you give a guy for beating a virtual cripple? Martinez's well documented injuries are the only reason most people think Cotto has a chance, and the only reason why he's really taking this fight in the first place.
Martinez isn't even the second best middleweight around.

Well hardly anyone is giving him any chance, so of course full credit is in order.
This has shades of the Margaito rematch. The general consensus was that Margs was going to make him take a knee again, but when Cotto pitched a shut out, then revisionist history happened.
I think Martinez is going to win, but I hope Cotto wins since he's my boy - and if he does, I'm going to be Pac-Boy level troll for at leat a few days

like every fight, some will always have an excuse built in.
those guaranteeing sergio is gonna win are already prepared to use his age and injuries as excuses if he loses.
he's the smaller guy moving up. he's been through more wars than martinez has. how many years now have people been calling cotto damaged goods?
of course he deserves credit.

Of course. No matter how Martinez looks, Cotto is still a bloated past prime welterweight moving up to fight the middleweight champion. Winning cannot be dismissed as nothing.
Martinez's performance will determine the amount of credit, not how whether he gets credit or not.
