More hall of fame worthy Cotto or Vitali

Vitali, he's been dominant against everyone put in front of him and there isn't anyone he hasn't fought. Just as it isn't Cotto's fault that Arum wouldn't make fights with certain fighters, it isn't Vitali's fault that most of his division is not elite. Both have done what they've had to do, mostly, I go with Vitali. And I was pretty big on Cotto up until a few years ago.

To compare Cotto's accomplishments to Vitali's is a slap in the face to boxing

the way i see it if V.Klit was 6ft1 to 6ft4 he wont be a HW champ. he fights a weak divison so he shouldnt be a HOF based on that

Cotto has beaten better fighters by a lot. They're both HOFers.

Cotto, just barely.

Who is more worthy Cotto- 3 divisiion titlist wins margo torres mosley quintana judah Vitali 3 time heavyweight champ former linear champ wins over sanders ademek briggs williams peters Vitali was NEVER lineal champ. He was Ring champ but that was never universally agreed upon. Ring, especially at early parts of their new title policy, often was at odds with lineage. They refused to recognize the proper Flyweight line which has now ended up right where Ring's back issues say it never left. The elevated Paulie Ayala to #1 after three straight bad decisions (Ayala, Tapia II, Adams I), crowned him, and ignored both Pacquiao and Larios. The CyberBoxingZone, for example, never recognized Vit and should not have. Before Sanders, he lacked wins against Ring Top Ten contenders. Sanders was the first one he really had. Johnson was not ranked when Vit beat him. I don't believe Hide was Ring Top Ten either. He got to number one on a loss to Lewis while, at the same time, Ruiz had multiple top ten wins. In no way am I saying Ruiz was better than Vit, but based on wins, even with the Jones loss that was followed by wins over Rahman and Oquendo, he had more claim to #1 than Vitali at the time. Vit-Sanders was a 1-3 fight and was one of the more discrediting coronations they made early on. Sanders had only one big win and a loss to Rahman (who Ruiz romped over) before sitting around putting on ten pounds of blubber for a year waiting for his cashout. Ruiz also deserved higher rating than Sanders. Terrible decision and series of ranking based on factors well beyond the only one that should count: wins. NEVER lineal champ. Wlad renewed the lineage Lewis vacated. The Ring's error is better left ignored.

Vitaly was the Ring champ. But, never had the claim of lineage.

why do ppl persist on saying this? stallone didnt make it in as a fighter. he is in a separate section of the hall. If Al Bernstein is the HOF then Sly Stallone who has a statue of himself damn well better be. Al Bernstein has never had a fight in his life whereas Rocky atleast had fake ones.

Hate to say it, but Vitali is more HOF worthy. They both are HOF worthy imo. If Sylvester Stallone can be in the HOF these two great champions damn well better be. why do ppl persist on saying this? stallone didnt make it in as a fighter. he is in a separate section of the hall.

As of right now, NEITHER has any business in the Hall of Fame. Both are career paper titlists who never beat a lineal champ or a guy who was regarded as #1 in their respective division(s). And also, both of these gentlemen are among the most overrated fighters of the modern era. Having said that, Cotto by a wide margin. Vitali's top 5 wins combined, doesn't match the quality of Cotto's win over Mosley.

Cotto is Hall of fame worthy the guy has fought the best guys out there from 140 now working his way up to 154 in my book the guy only lost once.

Hate to say it, but Vitali is more HOF worthy. They both are HOF worthy imo. If Sylvester Stallone can be in the HOF these two great champions damn well better be.

Vitali by far

Cotto base on the fact all 3 division he been were all hot and thick with talent... Vatali damanted by default.
