Could Cotto win fighter of the year

Either Floyd or Hatton IMO. Im expecting Floyd.

if cotto does win this mosley he could be a contender for fighter of the yr. but y did most of u people switch the topic on this. Well because it is lame to be like no. If you say no he is not, you should probably give explanation as to why, which in other words, is who is going to push him out.

i think winner of mayweather-hatton gets it,you think if Rafa won he would of gotten it?and why the hell didnt he fight Gonzalez at banatamweight

SNIP I did not factor Hatton's assessment in this thread about Cotto, sorry. In my opinion, if Hatton beats Mayweather, he is the fighter of the "decade".

the only way Cotto can become fighter of the year if Maywather losses to Hatton. Mayweather fought in the "biggest" fight in PPV boxng history and Mayweather is then fighting a P4P "undefeated" fighter in Ricky Hatton. if Mayweatherhas wins ove Hatton and include de la Hoya, Mayweather is fighter of the year. If Mayweather loses to Hatton and Cotto beats Mosley in the same fashion as he did against Judah, then Cotto should be fighter of the year. Hatton would be the first man on earth to knock down Castillo and the first to beat Mayweather... actually forget Castillo, beating PBF after two wins screams Fighter of the Year loud enough, also Hatton will be a prohibitive underdog on fight night. The odds on Cotto will not be near as bad, as those on Hatton's.

The winner of Hatton-Mayweather is fighter of the year. If it's Hatton in particular, there should be no one disagreeing.

Vazquez - Fighter don't win FOTY with a loss that year, sorry, especially since it's the only guy he's beaten this year. 1-1 against one person is not fighter of the year material. Cotto - Good year, but Judah isn't a HUGE win, which put him behind either: Hatton - If he beats Mayweather, he is a lock. OR Mayweather - De La Hoya and then Hatton, puts him up higher than Cotto IMO. I think we are almost sure to have a repeat FOTY.

Hatton if he beats Mayweather would definitely have to be fighter of the year. Especially if he stops Mayweather however unlikely this may be. Cotto could get it. If Pavlik beats Taylor then I would give a shout to Pavlik. Peter Manfredo Junior might get it if every single other boxer on the planet somehow disappears. That was mad funny, Peter if every fighter dissappears, props, LOL

That why im saying at least give Cotto consideration he fought 3 times this year not many fighters fought 3 times this year and yes it will all come down to those 2 fights. I just dont know why everybody is bashing on Cotto just because he beat up a washed up Zab Judah. Watch a lot of these Cotto haters start jumping on the Cotto bandwagon if he beats Mosley.Its definently a tough teset but look how mnay people turned down Mosley this year. Cotto is a true professional to the sprt just goes out there and do his job and takes on whoever is out there regardess of how it is Not to mention he drilled Quintana in December. If he beats Mosley in November he would have 4 wins in 11 months. One over a former undisputed champion, and one over a future Hall of Famer. I guess you could say Mayweather deserves it if he beats Hatton though.

I saw Vasquez - Marquez 2 for the first time today (I live in England, we're light years behind the States). Awesome scrap. He should get FighterOTY, but, if PBF cleans up against Ricky, it's his. Any ideas on FOTY this year so far? Edison Miranda - Kelly Pavlik? Tony Oakey - Steve Spartacus? Matthew Macklin - Graham Earl? PBF - DLH? Shoot. Ianhttp://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45032 This poll is about two years old,, I reposted it when i went to Threads started by Tha Greatest on my boxingscene profile ,2 years ago it Vasquez was 0 votes for Top Mexican Underated Fighter while JM Marquez had I think 4 votes, Arce had 8 as tops underated, Since then Arce still at 8 And Now the leader is Vasquez who nobody knew 2 years ago so nobody knew him, i did and now hes the current top underated Mexican fighter with 11 votes, he should win fighter of the year Based on his win over a very very good win against, Oscar Larios before his recent slump, Jhonny Gonzales, his very good performance against a #3 p4p fighter in Rafa Marquez on the first fight(ending with Vasquez losing but vindicating himself in beating Marquez by TKo and snapping Marquez 7 year non losing streak, Jhonny is now recognized by boxing fans as a underatedfighter, top underated in my poll http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45032 The War Of Vasquez Marquez is fight of the year, look at round 3 and beyond, you will see why, My second choice would beZabs beating with Cotto based that it was really entertaing,, one sided but zab showed heart and fought hids little heart out without running, it was beautiful courage by a overmatched Zab

I thought of Vasquez as fighter of the year as soon as i saw fighter of the year I saw Vasquez - Marquez 2 for the first time today (I live in England, we're light years behind the States).

Absolutely not. Israel Vazquez is this years "Fighter of the Year" hands down. Don't get me wrong, I love Cotto but Vazquez's win over Marquez overshadows Cotto's annihilation of Judah. I thought of Vasquez as fighter of the year as soon as i saw fighter of the year

^^^=B.S. throw in Gomez P Williams Clottey whlie you at it We could but they probably wouldnt get that much consideration like Gomez and Clottey. When Gomez beat Gatti he just wasnt the same and yes i know Clottey was the last fighter to fight Corrales(R.I.P) but he I dont think he doesnt get that much consideration because thats the only big name he fought same way as Gomez and Williams could be a sleeper pick for fighter of the year I forgot about those names thanks

Cuz he beat Marquez?? He's 1-1 against Raul. He might win Fight of the Year, but not Fighter of the Year....But, who really cares? rafael not raul

If Mayweather beats Hatton then in my opinion he gets fight of the year unanimously. But as of now my candidates are and victories are in parantheses 1.Mayweather(De La Hoya) 2.Cotto(Judah, Urkal) 3.Hatton(Castillo, Urango) 4.Vazquez(Marquez) 5.Pavlik(Miranda and whoever else he beat) ^^^=B.S. throw in Gomez P Williams Clottey whlie you at it

if mayweather beats hatton and cotto beats mosley, its a toss up between them. Cotto has had three fights this year. That puts him in the running just by winning 3 out of 3 against world class oppposition and yes urkal isnt that great but he is world class. if hatton wins, he may be. if mosley wins, he may be. it just depends on how they win this last fight of the year. That why im saying at least give Cotto consideration he fought 3 times this year not many fighters fought 3 times this year and yes it will all come down to those 2 fights.
