Has anybody had a more entertaining career than Miguel Cotto in the last 10years?

Cotto is now fighting for history, if he can reign at 160lb for more than 5 defenses and even step up to possibly win a soup title at 168 he goes down as a top10 atg in my book, he didnt win them all but he won nearly all of them(and he fought everybody). He has huge upside now, if he beat mayweather in the rematch with roach by his side, he might be able to crack top5

cotto is a warrior. ducked no-one at any weight he fought. made a mistake going catchweight with pac though and def on the slide now so needs to pick his remaining matches wirth care. trout was always going to be all wrong for him.

More entertaining? Manny Pacquiao.

he was my number 1 favorite fighter back when he was on top for that very reason. skills + vulnerability = an exciting fighter.

Maidana is with GBP....maybe Provodnikov would be next. Yeah, I know about Maidana being with GBP. Still, I'd love to see that one. Same way I'd love to see Rigondeaux/Mares. Provodnikov would be an excellent action fight, as well. People would probably slag him off for picking a "loser" though, since Bradley won that fight.

I hope manny is ok after the ko from jmm. reminds me of when roy jones got ko'd by his rival tarver.. Rios could be manny's glen johnson

Nope, Cotto's career has been great and it's sad that's coming to end. :sad:

I didn't say he looked shot or anything, either. His legs have definitely looked worse for wear, though. Which is par for the course for a fighter with a style like his. He's still infinitely better than most welterweights out there not named Mayweather, though. People will embrace him again after Rios. Especially after he announces a top fighter as his next opponet. I'd love to see him fight Maidana. Maidana is with GBP....maybe Provodnikov would be next.

Saying manny has looked bad is not accurate.. He clearly outboxed bradley and was robbed, and then he was beating marquez and got caught coming in.....In the jmm4 fight i thought manny looked great except for the moments where he got caught sleeping in the third and the last 2 seconds of the 6th.... I do agree with you that rios is a great opponent for manny,, terrific action fight.......... I didn't say he looked shot or anything, either. His legs have definitely looked worse for wear, though.

Rios makes more sense for Pacquiao than Alvarado. Pacquiao hasn't looked that good in recent performances. He's coming off of one of the most brutal knockout losses we've seen in recent years. Putting him in there with a guy like Rios (who is guaranteed to come forward and make it a fight) is a nice way of rebuilding his (likely) shattered confidence after such a brutal knockout. Boxers and promoters do this sh*t all the time after a guy is KO'd. You give him a soft touch with a style that he favors to rebuild his confidence, then you put him back in bigger fights. Why should Pacquiao be held to a higher standard than everybody else? Saying manny has looked bad is not accurate..

Cotto was the one fighter that never dodged anybody... He fought prime: corley, torres, pinto, paulie, zab, shane, floyd, margs, manny, clottey, trout.. Dude took on all comers and is one of my faves.... got nothing but love for miguel, even thought i wish he would go back to 147 and fight ghost, broner, alexander, ortiz, thurman, maidana

The Clottey fight wasnt great. Take the 40 mill and give the fans what they want. He will never see 40 mill for a fight, ever. What about the choice of Rios over Alvarado?

He's still a dummy for not taking the PAC rematch for the $$$$. I don't care if he win, lose, or draw, you just don't give that kind of money away.

I absolutely agree on the Mosley and Margarito fights. They were ass. The rest of his fights have been great, though. I see you're still blaming the entire Pacquiao/Mayweather collapse on Manny, though. Pity. If you were an objective observer, you'd have realized that neither fighter wanted that fight. Neither did their promoters. It's a 50/50 thing. Only blinded 'tards think otherwise. The Clottey fight wasnt great. Take the 40 mill and give the fans what they want.

Pacquiao giving the fans what they wana see? I couldnt disagree more. Fighting Clottey, margarita, and Shane were fights I in no way wanted to see. I didnt even want to see him fight JMM for the 4th time because JMM had beatin him all three times already. He also declined 40 million to fight Floyd. Hes now fighting Rios when the fans want him to fight Alvarado. I absolutely agree on the Mosley and Margarito fights. They were ass. The rest of his fights have been great, though.

Froch, Pacquiao, Cotto, Marquez : The fab four of this generation as far as giving the fans what they want to see goes. Pacquiao giving the fans what they wana see? I couldnt disagree more.

Yeah Cotto is a true champ what stands about him is his calmness in the ring the dude is a certified Bad A55!:fing02:

His fight against Floyd was the first I've seen of his, and the last. He was the most boring fighter I've ever seen.

Manny Pacquiao is probably the only one who could eclipse it imo. When Cotto first emerged everybody was scared to death of him. He was a true warrior! Carl Froch is a pretty good shout as well.
