I would think it's next. Cotto has A LOT of options and seems he controls how things go

a prime Martinez and prime cotto and this fight is the same, your saying early on Sergio had no chin so what changes that? Martinez fighting with his hands down wouldn't be able to keep cotto off of him and he doesn't throw enough to put pressure on cotto all night.This isn't a fight that Cotto won against a prime-Sergio. Cotto was absolutely superb, and he deserves all the praise in the world, but Sergio was a broken fighter. He wasn't so badly hurt the entire fight that it's why the fight was stopped, but he was just not mobile out there.
.
Sergio had no boxing skills to fall back on. He was a late starter who relied on only his hand speed. The minute he started aging, he was done for.
Guys like JMM, Floyd, cotto, Pac, who've been fighting they're whole lives and have a solid boxing base and knowledge can fight try old age.
You all had to have seen this comig from his last few fights . He has no defense other than speed. He isn't a combination nor a counter puncher. Knees had nothing to do with him never keeping his right hand up near his chin to stop that left for landing.

Oh don't worry too much about that. Jim Lampley has been a Cotto nuthugger since day one. I had a feeling he would go out there sucking Cotto off and boy did he DELIVER!The HBO crew seemed to think that Miguel Cotto is now on top of the MW division. Thoughts?
The Sergio Martinez that we saw against JCC Jr., Darren Barker, and Matthew Macklin was not the same Sergio Martinez we've seen against Martin Murray and Miguel Cotto. I still feel like he lost against Murray. I'll agree that he's never had good defense (nor a good chin), but I just felt like in his prior fights, he had at least a little more mobility. It just seemed like his knee locked up on him tonight more times than it didn't.

Cotto was fabulous, but looking at 154/160, I don't think there's a lot of top guys he can beat.
Floyd Mayweather? Canelo Alvarez? Gennady Golovkin?
Gennady would pummel his face in, Floyd Mayweather would outclass him as he did last fight, and Canelo might be too fast and too strong for him.
Freddie definitely has put his stamp on Miguel though. Can Manny fight Cotto again?
props to cottos camp and freddie well played
My dude Freddie Roach! The best there is.
Freddie Roach is the most overrated trainer of all time.
Correct me if I'm wrong but when has he gotten a fighter and turned him into a champion? I'm pretty sure every champion he's ever trained was already a champion before goin to Roach.props to cottos camp and freddie well played

His fighters improve with him. Who do you think is think is better? Please don't say Roger.
Canelo will crush Cotto.
Canelo will crush Cotto.
that is, if he can get past Lara.
Don't sleep.
I'm probably the biggest Lara fan on this forum and I believe he will lose to Canelo fair and square. No questionable judging needed.

Like Kellerman said, Cotto dominated the (now former) middleweight champion of the world.
I dont think Martinez wanted anymore after the 9th. Sure he told his trainer one more round, but wasn't like he was getting up even though the round technically started. He said, "one more round" while sitting on the stool. If he really wanted it he gets up and acts the part.
Cotto looked like a different fighter vs Rodriguez but everyone said they needed to see more and against a better class fighter. We saw that tonight.
Personally I'd like to see a Mayweather rematch. The "old" Cotto gave him a run for his money. Would like to see this "new" Cotto against him. Either way, a Mayweather or Canelo fight would be a big time fight. for boxing in general.
