By Isaac Brodie: The impending match up between Miguel Cotto and Sergio Martinez has the potential to be one of the more exciting fights of the year. This match up has been criticized from all angles. Some say that Martinez is too old, and others that Cotto is too small. Some have even gone so far as to suggest that either fighter is not all they are made out to be. But the fact is that these are two exceptional fighter, admittedly on the way out, but exceptional all the same.
The fact that both fighters are coming closer to retirement is part of what makes the fight so exciting. It’s possible that neither of these fighters will ever be part of a fight of this magnitude ever again. With a willing ref we might get to see these two great fighters leave everything they have left for the square and circle at Madison Square Gardens in front of their respective legions of fans.

Their fight will be televised by HBO pay-per-view. It’s difficult to see the Cotto-Martinez fight as being worthy of being on PPV simply because Cotto has lost 2 out of his last 3 fights.

The two fighters met on Monday in a press conference at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico to discuss the fight. What was surprising about the two fighters was how much bigger Sergio was compared to the 5’7″ Cotto. 
By Bob Smith: Since the fight between Miguel Cotto and Sergio Martinez has been signed for June 7, various commentators have begun to make predictions about the outcome. Really, all of it depends on the degree to which his knee is a problem and the extent to which he has aged in the ring. The last round of his fight with Julio Ceasar Chavez Jr. was a costly war, and anyone who witnessed his match with Martin Murray, where he barely squeaked by with a hometown decision, can attest to the fact that he was not the same Sergio Martinez on that night.
By Dan Ambrose: Todd duBoef, the president of Top Rank, thinks that trainer Freddie Roach was instrumental in turning the career around for the 33-year-old Miguel Cotto (38-4, 31 KO’s) to put him in position to get his nice payday fight against WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (51-2-2, 28 KO’s) on June 7th. 
By Bradley Dee: I started watching Miguel Cotto way back when he was a Jr. Welterweight. This was a young, strong fighter who did what a lot of boxers were not doing, attacking the body. In his early years, Cotto was always committed to the body and the dividends that bodywork pays, either sooner, or later in a fight.
By Dan Ambrose: Trainer Freddie Roach expects his fighter Miguel Cotto (38-4, 31 KO’s) to come in around 155 lbs for his June 7th catch-weight clash against WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (51-2-2, 28 KO’s) in New York. The fight negotiations are still underway at this time, but they’re reportedly close to having it completed. 
By Dan Ambrose: After being chased for over 2 years by WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (29-0, 26 KO’s), WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (51-2-2, 28 KO’s) is saying that he wants to fight Golovkin if he can win his next fight against Miguel Cotto on June 7th. That’s a really big if for Martinez, because he’s been looking old lately since the 12th round of his fight against former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in September of 2012. That fight seemed to have really aged Martinez in a fierce way.
