He'd be beating a naturally smaller guy, however if he beats Pac, and he SHOULD, he'll probably get Mayweather, if he beats him, then Cotto is an absolute #1 P4P.
Cotto has already faced the thoughest competition for any WW, but to be #1 you got to beat the best, not # 4's and 6's
For me, this isn't the BCS or anything, they are both equal in size, reach with Pacquaio edging him in speed and experience.
If Cotto beats Pacman, for me he is p4p #1, until Money May comes back to the party and tries to reclaim his throne.
If Cotto wins, he would have beaten the BEST fighter on the planet. So by the same token of those saying Shane is the 'man' by token of beating the 'man' who beat the 'man', Cotto is now the 'man' for beating the 'man' (say all that 5x fast). Goes w/o saying.
This isn't a mismatch in any way. Cotto is the underdog (possibly mistakenly). If Cotto wins, he would have one of the most impressive resumes around, with his only loss in question.
Man, green K for you, great post, spank that ass!!!!! :fu2:

I will place Cotto as the best pound for pound fighter out there right now if he beats the pac man.
big props for him if he wins...but i won't put him as p4p king yet - if he went on to rematch margarito or mosley or both and win then why not?:boxing:
People shouldn't hate on Cotto at all,as of right now excluding Mosley(because he beat the prime DLH)Cotto has the best welterweight resume,true story!!He should be appreciated greatly by true boxing fans who enjoy exciting fighters!!
I agree and he is a warrior like Mosley. I have Cotto #2 and Shane #1

You really can't count what Marg-cheato has done in his last 5 fights, who's to say he didn't cheat? Then he fights a Mosley without plaster and losses. Cotto's only loss should have an asterick next to it. Anybody to rank any of Maga-cheato victories is fuken retarded.
There is no proof that he did it against anyone other than Mosley. Even Paul Williams has said the samething. Cotto never said anything other than saying Margo should be banned for life. Even if Margo never fought Shane or Cotto. Mosley still has the better resume. I would love to see a rematch between Cotto and Margo.
If Margo would have done that to any other fighter besides Cotto. Would you really make a huge deal out of it?
lmao
he was #1 since the beginning of last year.
if you don't know......don't talk.
The whole ranking system is bullsh!t and fan boys like you live by it.
I'm more of a realist! If your the big dog on the block and I come in and knock you off, you can't come back, I'm the top dog now! That's how it works and that's how it should be but just like all the other bullsh!t boxing
is lacking, this is just another one!
I will place Cotto as the best pound for pound fighter out there right now if he beats the pac man.
It doesn't matter. Cotto can dominate Pacquiao for 7 straight rounds before knocking him out cold, and people still won't respect him. People are just straight up haters. Don't get me wrong, I'm DEFINITELY NOT saying Cotto will win in a fashion like that, although I think Cotto can win if he fights smart and breaks Pac up. We'll see on Nov 14. I definitely don't think the haters will change their opinions though. They will say he only succeeded in beating up a featherweight. Pac don't look like no featherweight to me though.
Mosley also beat a prime Hoya at 147. Beat Wilfredo Rivera who iI believe is better than Quintana. Shanon Taylor got killed by Mosley and stopped. Even Arthur Abraham couldn't stop Taylor. Antonio Diaz was a good fighter. Beat the shit out of Collazo. Plus he fought a close fight with Cotto. Then he destroyed Margo.
The year isn't over either. If can fight Clottey and beat him better than Cotto. That will be good for his resume.
But I think there close, lol. I just give Shane the nod. He beat a prime Hoya

i'm talking about ranking.
hatton might not be as good as cotto but he was the man in his division , cotto is not , and he was ranked around the same spot as cotto.
say hatton was #9 and he beat #1 pacquiao.....would he be #1?
no because people will see it as just a case of pacquiao moving up to a division he didn't belong. same thing for cotto.
but most important......cotto looks very beatable. he looked beatable against clottey and obviously marg but even his fight with shane was close.
writers generally like their #1 to look dominant and/or jump a lot of divisions.
cotto is neither.
yup im agreeing with you pink lol he would be on the top 5 but not 1
I will place Cotto as the best pound for pound fighter out there right now if he beats the pac man.
He wont be #1 P4P but he will move up the list, he will move up the list a lot though...
shane mosley DOMINATED margarito. that's the damn difference.
shane's loss to cotto was a close one.
cotto got koed in his loss.
his victories over mosley and clottey weren't in dominating fashion either.
cotto WILL NOT be #1. period.
you guys sound like all the hatton hacks that thought hatton would be #1 p4p if he beat pacquiao.
it doesn't work that way.

Who did Pacboy beat to become the best P4P fighter, Oscar right?
Where was he ranked on the P4P list before that?
