Cotto response to Sergio Martinez

[AP♠]

lmao!! Seriously dude!! You're a cheerleader. I dislike Vanes and been a fan of Trout before his fight with Canelo's brother and I still wouldn't think he's top 10 atm.

FYI Trout is rated #10 on Ring magazine and not even ranked on ESPN. I may disagree because he should be like #8 or something but he's not top 5 even if he has been putting in decent work. Like I said before Floyd/Cotto/Canelo don't even deserve that #1/#2 spot either and they're just up there based on names.

You actually go by the ring? seriously.What are your top 5?


Everything i read is a pretty ****ty reason but whatever its expected from you.Either ways real fans know what Trout is about..a top 5 to many.Espn? lmao they barely cover boxing fool.

We all know Martinez destroys Cotto at 154. Cotto talks about Martinez not being a good money fight but Trout is. Trout has a big chance to ruin Canelo vs Cotto or Cotto vs Mayweather 2. Cotto is right if he does beat a game Trout then they can talk about making a fight I am a huge Cotto fan he has always fought the best out there. The smart move for him to do is fight Canelo in may 2013. I would like to see Mayweather vs Martinez but we all know Maywether won't fight him but Cotto will that's way Cotto is a fan favorite fighter.

[Optimistic]

First, consider what he is saying. He is shutting up haters saying that he wont fight Martinez. When Martinez offer the fight, he had the rematch against Tony lined up and the mega fight with Mayweather. The rematch against Tony was based on the options provided by Top Rank. It was the best possible financial offer made by them. The Floyd fight, obviously a better option than Martinez financially, considering that Cotto was already a free agent.

Now he is fighting a top 5 SWW/LMW. It was his choice. He could chose K9 who is limited, however Fantastic finds his way to hate on the choice. Was Martinez available for December? NO. Even with no injuries Dibella and Sampson are saying that he will only fight twice a year. Canelo was not an option for December. Being the diva that kid, he wouldnt fight Cotto in his backyard.

C
hoosing Trout makes sense for him for two reasons. First, his BS title. For some fighters that BS is important. That gives Cotto leverage for negotiation with GBP and Canelo. Now that Cotto dont have the financing of TR and their guarantee, he needs leverage. But some idiots around here cant see that.

Second reason in choosing Trout is that the guy is a taller, rangier southpaw. He dont fight like Sergio, but those are Sergio attribute if a fights get done. Why is it hard for anyone to understand or see that is beyond me. Damn the only real threat he never faced was Paul Williams, the rest he faced. Some of you haters need to stop your ridiculous claims of him choosing easier path.

Great post, hermano.

Seriously, these are grown men saying "Martinez doesn't bring enough money but Trout does?"

Cotto knows Martinez is more of a risk, as does his team. He doesn't bring enough money for the risk he represents. To just go "oh and Trout does?" is ******ed.

That's like saying GGG doesn't bring enough money to the table but Darren Barker did? It's about the risk, these guys are confident they can beat anyone but they know who's a risk and who isn't. Don't be so naive, it's sad.

[WesleySnipes]

great fight...love both guys but for me no matter if @ 154 or 160 = Sergio >>>> Cotto!

Trout is ranked #10 by The Ring and #7 by ESPN(Do your research he is on ESPN Top 10 Ranking) Trout is a good fighter so don't act like he is some garbage.

[Mr. Fantastic]

so who does then? what is your list of top 5 jr middles?

No one! I have no top 5. But Trout is definitely not on there and shouldn't on anyone's minds besides Cotto cheerleaders.

ESPN barely cover boxing? This dude!!


What rankings do you use? Let me guess....Nuevo Dia boxing ranks?

You went with Boxingscene ranks who usually doesn't have the best rankings out there.

Like I've said it before I have no top 5 due to the fact that no one really deserves to be #1/#2 at this moment. I can easily tell you Trout is not that upper tier in the division though.

[Mr. Fantastic]

Trout is ranked #10 by The Ring and #7 by ESPN(Do your research he is on ESPN Top 10 Ranking) Trout is a good fighter so don't act like he is some garbage.

I never said he was garbage....I even said I've been a fan of his for longer than most people on here.

Ok...so I must of missed something cause I remember he wasn't even on there last time I checked. Either way he's ranked #7. Not top 5...which most of your fellow cheerleaders are crying about.

[borikua]

This fight is going to happen. Cotto will ask Martinez to come down to 155 for his title and knock him the **** out. lol Hall of Fame baby!

[sdcluser]

Cotto is right to avoid him.

Martinez being southpaw and somewhat slick.....stylistically not good for Cotto. In fact, the SWW is not good division for Cotto. Cotto lacks sufficient speed/power advantage in this division. Wouldn't surprise me Cotto lose against Trout. Trout fights tall and does it well.
