Far from a journeyman a respectable fighter who should get into the hall of fame...but his resume is overrated to be honest..he seems to get credit for his losses and 3 out of his 5 titles were vacant titles and the other 2 were from handicapped fighters..but he is a damn good fighter just not a great one

Martinez got dropped cold and never looked the same. Foreman was getting soundly beaten before his knee gave on him.
He is a legitimate great fighter and the lineage he claimed at MW confirms that.
Originally posted by jazluvr View PostHe'd beat Trout in a rematch. Cotto has made some very good changes. Trout...not so much. But there is no money in Trout, and apparently Cotto doesn't care about that loss enough to evenge it.

Knowing this is you, I assume you're referring to the credit he got for giving Floyd a tough fight, which I'm sure you didn't see as close He gave Floyd more trouble with his defense than anyone has in years and it's constantly ignored.

Cotto beats Trout relatively wide on the cards, maybe 8-4 or 9-3 now.

And lol at these excuses, that 1 pound less he came in as compared to his last 4-5 fights didn't do sheit... just more excuses from these gay ass emotional delusional Cotto fans.

Originally posted by LarryXXX View PostNo all i was saying is he gets credit for taking tough fights and losing....i do give him credit for taking those good fights..and yes he gave Floyd a damn good fight much closer then the score cards say it was...but Foreman and Martinez both were injured BEFORE the fight and that is a fact man..but they signed the contract so that is on them
If he beats Canelo, would that change how you rank him as "a very good, but not great" fighter?
Originally posted by Hype job View PostTrout beat Cotto like 10-2 or 9-3 lol.

And if you seriously had Trout winning 10 rounds, boxing is not the sport for you.

IMO Cotto's skills aren't the best out there, but his heart is one of the bigger ones. He has to work to win fights, so I respect him highly.
Even though people get on Miguel for taking a knee in Margs 1, that was one of the most action/drama fights I have ever seen!

Worst thread I've seen in awhile. Cotto has fought everyone out there and has four losses, ya real journeyman. He beat all these guys in their prime.
Bailey
Torres
Paulie
Mosley
Corley
Judah
Sosa
Bronco
Quintana
Clottey
He's everything that's right with boxing, fighting all the top challengers. And yet your dumb ass wants to criticize him because you don't like his fans or because he's Puerto Rican. GTFOH. Stupidest thread.
