Can this guy get to the hall? His only losses are against the best fighters of his era in Pac and Floyd. He has a lost to Margarito but that has a little cloud on it then he beat the hell out of a shot version of Marg.
But imo he clearly lost to Floyd but he didnt look bad if that makes sense. He was just outclassed.
I think the only thing that can stop him from the hall is his chin. Hes a sound defender imo. He gets hit a lot with right hands, yes but hes not Chavez Jr either. If he can get out of fight with Martinez with his senses intact hed could be a hall of famer.
I know JMM, Floyd and Pac are locks from this era(Im not talking about winky,mosley,hops,toney,roy,era). Cotto could be next. With maybe Wlad having chance if voters feel sorry for him.
Is this a REAL thread?
To whomever started this thread; if you have to ask if Cotto is a HOF, then you should be asking if Mayweather is a HOF. Why isn't this thread about him? This is just like a "MAN" for you. All impressed with the money-flashing, loud-mouth **** started as opposed to the blue-collar guy who does his talking with his fists and has class but is quiet about his position in life. Is this a joke? What the **** to you think!? Is Cotto a HOF'er? I bet you Floyd won't be fighting an undefeated Champion his next fight. That's the resume you question, not Cotto's. Cotto is a proven warrior who will fight ANYONE. I don't think the other guy can claim the same. He gave Clottey a shot when noone else would fight him. He's also fighting on HBO this December because he cares about his fans. I BET you'll never see Floyd on HBO TV! Come back when you direct this thread at the RIGHT fighter! And MC is a HOF'er even if he retires before Dec. He really has nothing else to prove to you or anyone else. He's given us and the sport the professionalism, class, and respect, that it deserves.

I think Wlad is a lock.
Credit where credit is due, he's the #1 right now, has been for a while and will be for the foreseeable future. Not his fault the division is ****.
When is Duke McKenzie getting inducted?
Its not the fact of titles in this world of paper titles , the selectors know the difference between the real ones !
I agree with what most people are saying about him getting in the hof. At what stage do u think he will get in tho, first year eligible (I think it's 5 years after your last fight) or will it take a few years
Many fighters with less impressive resumes have entered the hof. Hes fought good to top fighters in his career. And rarely ducks an opponent. He's got my vote
He's a whole of fame fighter already in my honest opinion. Good Champion at Jr Welterweight, good Champion at Welterweight. If he can make solidify his resume at 154lb then its certified in my honest opinion. Assuming he wins his next set of fights his only losses come to the generations best ( Mayweather and Pacquiao) and a cheater.
