How can some people even discredit Miguel Cotto but praise Sergio Martinez too much at the same time?

Miguel Cotto is probably one of the most underrated boxers in the world. No doubt about it. Looking at his resume, he's fought much, much tougher fighters than Sergio Martinez. He defeated an undefeated Malignaggi (Malignaggi might not be great, but he's fast, has pretty good boxing skills and an iron chin), he beat Mosley (who beat Fernando Vargas twice by TKO the previous year), a younger Zab Judah (who in truth just came off back-to-back losses but was younger and still a good fighter), gave Yuri Foreman his first loss and now beat Margarito in a "fair" fight.

The loss to Pacquiao was just a loss against a greater fighter, and even still the first four rounds were pretty damn close.

The first loss, to Margarito, is very controversial because of that hand wrap thing which could definitely add to the power of impact. Cotto took this loss, didn't complain too much even after finding out about the illegal hand wrap thingy, asked for a rematch and settled it in the ring. Cotto is a great warrior and one of the best boxers in the world.

In comparison, Martinez ain't done s***. As you said Paul Williams and a fading Kelly Pavlik. Who else of even the slightest significance did he beat? No-one. Two big wins, one being against an over-the-hill fighter, the other being a lucky but very eye-pleasing knock-out, and now calls out smaller fighters who would still probably kick his a**. I think Ward, Abraham and Bute all would f*** the **** out of him.

They don't even compare, Cotto is an warrior who has fought many true fighters, Martinez is a cocky little c*** who thinks he's the best just by beating one decent guy. Pound-for-pound rankings should defo put Cotto on there if Martinez is.

Well i think people get overwhelmed by the fact that Sergio Martinez knocked out Paul Williams in 2RDs and ever since then he has been dominating people tend to look at the recent fights of a boxer but i would have to put Cotto ahead of Martinez due to his resume being more of a candidate for a place in the Hall a Fame.

Completely agree with you man, don't worry its just the people who go along with the bandwagon and all the hype that think that way. Cotto has always fought top guys and went after the big names. His resume speaks for itself. Sergio Martinez needs to stop trying to go after the smaller fighters and then complaining that they are ducking him when he's two weight classes above him lol.. its ridiculous. He should go after the big names in the Middleweight division, if he takes them all out, he'd get my respect, not that that even matters to him lol..my respect haha

yeah Sergio lost the first match to Paul wiliams

but did u c the fight

he was robbed

paul williams was in his hometown

and that fight was a draw or sergio wining

and im not saying that cotto sucks he is a great fighter too

well they discredit him because pacquiao beat him and mayweather diddnt want to fight cotto

but i bet you 100% flomos will change their mind once floyd cherry pick cotto saying something like cotoo came from a big win
