WBO junior middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade has slammed the hype that Miguel Cotto is receiving after recovering from back to back defeats to Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Austin Trout.

Cotto, now trained by Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, is returning in November when he defends his world title against Saul "Canelo" Alvarez of Mexico.

Back in 2012, Cotto dropped decision losses to Mayweather and Trout. He then hired Roach and won three fights in a row, all by stoppage, over Delvin Rodriguez, Sergio Martinez and Daniel Geale.

There have been others to criticize the three fight run, stating that Rodriguez was outclassed, Martinez was on his last legs literally and Geale was weight drained.

Andrade feels Cotto is the same fighter and says he is not buying into the 'old Cotto is back' campaign.

"Not to disrespect Cotto and not to disrespect Freddie Roach but a lot of people are saying, 'Oh Freddie Roach got Cotto back, oh Cotto is looking like the old Cotto.' Who did Cotto just finish fighting? Delvin Rodriguez who he knocked out in the first few rounds that Lara couldn’t do," Andrade told On The Ropes Boxing Radio .

"He fought Sergio Martinez who had thirty left leg injuries and forty right leg injuries that could barely stand to walk and box a little bit. Not to take Martinez’ boxing abilities away, but he was done for. Cotto beat Martinez and Delvin Rodriguez and all of the sudden Cotto’s back. Who did he really fight? The hype that he’s getting for fighting three bums back to back, does that make him great again?"
