What fight should cotto win to be considered an ATG?

Cotto has never been good enough to be ant ATG and he's absolutely nowhere either.

No way is Cotto in GGG class.... Cotto has been reduced to a B fighter. He should retire.

You're talking about a fighter who's entire resume is tainted by scandal, his best win(Cotto) is questionable--and has gone on to lose every major fight since then including a rematch with said fighter. I'll take Gatti over Tony without question. Your posts are a riot, thnx for a good laugh as always. So is Mosley's career for cheating and yet he's a sure in the HOF. I know you hate him and he broke your heart but think without emotions son.

All those wins suck except Shane, Clottey, and Paulie. And he barely won them. Good wins but not HOF material. Also all the belts he won were vacated, blehhhh He didnt barely beat pauli,, pauli put up a good fight but cotto was in charge that night,,, same thing for the shane fight... CLottey was very close and could have been a loss but the early kd for cotto gave him the fight... Yes alot of vacant title fights, and no huge career defining win, but i think thats what costs him ATG status... If you look at his resume, he fought alot of guys in peak form and alot of undefeated fighters Had he won the margs fight, and been more competitive vs manny, it would have helped his cause, but for right now i think he is a HOFer, lower level HOFer, but is one at least...

Dude if you gotta ask that question, then you havent followed cotto much 3 division champ wins over prime pauli, clottey, zab, near prime shane, corley, torres, pinto, maussa, His whole career from 03-present he has basically fought the best available competition and beat numerous prime undefeated fighters,,, He is clearly a HOFer, I dont even think its debatable,, ATG no he is not, as he was 1-3 in his four biggest fights All those wins suck except Shane, Clottey, and Paulie. And he barely won them. Good wins but not HOF material. Also all the belts he won were vacated, blehhhh

wait, what wins make him a HOF in the first place?

Cotto will have to beat Martinez, Pacquiao and Mayweather which is not gong to happen in this realm! Why people mentioned Margarito in this conversation is beyond me.

At this stage he would have to beat Martinez and then GGG to even be in the conversation.

There is no realistic fight that cotto can win to become an ATG,, ATG status is for a career body of work.. Cotto is a HOFer but not an ATG... Even with a win over serg, his career resume doesnt compare to guys like manny, pernell, srl, srr,... Cotto would have to do some crazy stuff late in his career to be considered an ATG, like beating serg, floyd rematch, beating GGG, and Canelo... Highly doubtful it all happens for cotto.. He had a good career, huge fights, tons of money, just not an ATG

wait, what wins make him a HOF in the first place?

I think a Martinez victory will place Cotto on par the same legacy standings as guys like DLH and Mosley. Boxers you can make a case for being great, if not borderline. Should he somehow miraculously win the MW belt and go on to successfully defend it(or draw) against Floyd then maybe, just maybe....

He has better resume/accomplishments than Gatti/Cuevas, both who are HOFs. That's just off the top of my head.

Cotto Promotions vs GBP, TMT and TR. Much as I love Cotto, there is no conceivable (for me) way he's gonna' stack up next to Sugar Ray Leonard in an historic sense .

And that Brit boxer I can't remember who's in the hof. I just don't think he did enough. He fought everyone that I can give him. Cheater or not. Joe "The GOAT" Calzaghe?
