He lost the big fights that mattered. Exciting fighter indeed and willing to fight anyone.
Beats B and B+ fighters but never been able to beat an A fighter. The close decision to Mosley is his best win.
He is similar to Terry Norris and Meldrik Taylor, look great and when they step to the top tier they lose. Those two guys looked great but never got over that hump to win the big one

Cotto was great fighter. Something was missing after the Margarito fight and I am certain he had his plaster wraps. That fight derailed his career and was a turning point.

You know, he was a decent B+ level fighter
The word "warrior" gets thrown around too much, "warriors" don't take knees, quit, and run away like he has done many times.
He was B+, he beat the guys he was supposed to beat and lost to the ones he was supposed to lose to, his resume is good but not great and he was a bully type fighter who was great when things were going his way but not so good under pressure.

Once he stepped up in comp, things got a bit tougher and the knockout power and potential slowly diminished.
He was in some historically exciting fights to say the least.
In my opinion, Trinidad brought more excitement due to his punching power and comebacks from knockdowns to close many shows.

very good fighter. good skills, decent power, average chin, poor stamina and a bit lazy if you ask me. he should still be fighting at 147, but i guess he likes his mams cooking too much. not a HOF fighter imo.

there is no way cotto is better than marquez. get real.
you could say he is better than hatton but they are about level for me.
clearly isnt better than margarito since margarito knocked him out when they were both prime.
i dont think he is any better than mosley either, about level.
yeah he is better than burns.
HOF fighters are guys like mayweather, pacquiao, barerra and morales etc. not guys like cotto and hatton.
