This is going to be one of the top fights of the year. While more boxing fans will most likely watch Mayweather take on Maidana, this fight will rival it. Cotto never disappoints when he takes on a big name and neither does Sergio. My analysis is that Cotto is going to be the underdog in this one. Sergio has fought at the higher weight class for much longer and Cotto has not looked too good in his last few fights and is probably towards the end of this career. That being said, Sergio Martínez is no spring chicken and he is getting up there in age as well. I think he's faster than Miguel and will prove difficult for him. Other than the age, the only problem is that Martinez tends to keep his hands down a lot. This has caused issues for him in the past, especially against Julio César Chávez, Jr. He just narrowly escaped that fight and was nearly knocked out in the very last round.
Can Cotto win? Possibly. One thing is certain though, I'm banking on this being an action packed fight. Both of these fighters are no stranger to them. The outcome will also raise some very interesting scenarios. Will Mayweather then fight Sergio? Cotto is a former Mayweather opponent and discussions have been raised about Mayweather Fighting Martinez in the past. If Cotto can do it, why can't Mayweather?
