Miguel Cotto at his peak. Would you consider him a GREAT fighter?

He's a solid B level fighter who had the backing of a big national following and the a great promoter/matchmaker to get him the right fights. Good fighter, but nowhere close to great.

Why cant Cotto be considerd great, when Floyd is great? Im assuming if this thread was about Floyd he would be considered great am i right?
Cotto beat a prime SSM which is better than anything Floyd has beat! Who did Floyd beat that is better than anything Cotto did btw? And has floyd beat anyone Cotto wouldnt?

What did he do before the Margarito fight so as to be classed as a great fighter. The answer is ...Nothing. He showed he was a very good fighter, and he consistently shows this, both before and after Margarito. This causes me to feel that, since I don't believe, and there is absolutely no evidence that Margarito had plaster loaded gloves, (apart from a couple of used gauze pads which had dried a "little stiff in spots as the Commissioner said) it looks to me that Cotto has ceen consistently very much the same as always. He loses because he'fighting a better man, like most of us have done.

I think he is as good as can be without being across that line where you consider him great, he is good to the highest degree but not one of these once in a generation fighters that come along. I say this and I am a big fan of his, he is just missing some extra dimension to him.
