I'm NOT sold on Cotto.......

[STREET CLEANER]

He was a good title holder who was very popular amongst his own people.

That's it.

He was the third or fought PPV attraction in the US. You think that only his ppl bought the fights?

Nah, I think you are describing Hatton. Cotto was a bigger man in boxing than him.

Vargas was also fun to watch but he is in the same category with Cotto. Solid fighters with a lot of flaws that prevent them in being the best in their eras. Vargas was too brave for his chin and Cotto too arrogant. Vargas has a close win against a prime Winky ( a very close fight in my eyes) but yet at the end of his career he had too many health problems to progress any futher. I rather pay to see a Vargas or a Cotto fight that a Mayweather cause those guys were fun to watch.

I do like hardcore fans cause they entertain you with nonesense. It get annoying at times but it doesn't get to me. I like them especially if we in a group watchin a fight especially when their fighter is losing. Good stuff

if cotto beat kirkland, angulo, bradley and maybe ortiz, lol, would you call him a hall of fame caliber fighter today?????????????? i would no doubt, lol, bradley would be the biggest win overall even though bradley not hall of fame but braley is a undefeated fighter with no losses, lol, that counts for a little something i guess

[RIZO24]

I don't think he is a HOFer, he never won that one big fight

Agree with you bro.. He needs to win against a big name. The Mosely and Judah wins are not gonna get him in..

You are considering Bradley to boost Cotto resume because he is undefeated? Cotto have like 7 of those already. Kirkland and Angulo have done sht in boxing. Cotto W against Corley is a better W for him. What they have on their resume is garbage. Fighting JMM wont do anything to his cause because there is a pretty damn size advantage for Cotto and JMM dont have Manny's speed to compensate for it.

@ 140 he missed a Hatton fight
@ 147, prime vs Floyd, vs Williams
@ 154, he is too small for that weight and you can see on his fight against Trout that he cant beat a stronger guy because he cant bully him.

So nothing he does, not even beating Pac @ 150 will solidy HoFer credentials. He is making it because he was exciting, he had a big following and he has beaten over 10 champions in a era that he is top 5 in his weight class. And Gatti making it, solidifies more.

And that BS about him fighting for vacant title, acting like he was not able to beat a champion is stupid. Acting like Hatton could beat Cotto or even Baldomir who were the champ, Lineal Champs.

Cotto might be overated by his biggest fans around here, and he is hated here in PR and troll around the internet because of his KNEE condition. But considering his run in this weak era, he did enough to be consider more than average in this era.

if you're not sold on cotto, stop watching boxing. if this is a response to the "JMM" thread, and you're trolling, then do your thing. but jmm is obviously > cotto. by miles.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Cotto is a HOFer, there's no doubt in my mind he makes it there.

Most people would not agree with you and I'm one of them.. He needs that big win to be a HOF. He was a good fighter and exciting at time but not a HOF..
