I know that both Manny and Floyd fought at 140 as well but Manny only fought one fight at 140 vs Hatton and Floyd only had 2 or 3 I believe, so having said that who since 2005 till now would have been a greater 140lb fighter than Cotto?
Kosta
Cotto
Bradley
Hatton put them in what ever order you want Idc
Khan should get an honorable mention at least. I know he lost to Garcia and Peterson (think he got robbed in the Peterson fight) but he still fought a tough line of opponents and beat most he was the man there for awhile, an in shape fresh khan at 140 gives anybody problems. And beats most that aren't the elite of the elite so don't be like but he would whoop Chavez sr or de la Hoya or some **** because that's obvious -_-
great post man, those 4 are THE names at 140 in the 21st century, I'd probably go
Kosta
Cotto
Hatton
Bradley/Khan
Khan has a heck of a resume in the division and beat them all apart from Garcia and possibly Peterson, who was/is also a drugs cheat. Head to head, I'd say Cotto probably has the best chance to beat them all.
First of all we will see sson who would win with Bradley vs Cotto, granted its at 160 but
Bradley didn't have the power to keep
cotto off him, Hatton hahaha who did he ever beat other than a past prime kosta. Not to mention Kosta had one career defining win and that was vs Judah. bottom line Cotto beats all of them
none of this addresses the topic question. the 3 guys named have better resumes than cotto at 140.
seriously???? tszyu, hatton and bradley have better resumes than cotto.

I don't think Cotto was ever looked at as the best in that division. During those days the top fighters where Floyd,Tszyu,Gatti,Hatton,Cotto and everyone knew Tszyu was the man of that division and even Floyd said it when he was fighting Gatti he called him a bum and said everyone knows Tszyu is champion at 140. hatton beat him so Hatton became the man. Even Kellerman after the Floyd vs Gatti fight said Cotto would get destroyed by Floyd and only gave Hatton a shot to beat Floyd.
hell no he wasnt. I honestly believe that Cotto wouldve had a few losses if it wasnt for his crazy size advantage. He was coming into the ring at 157 pounds. I think both Chop & Torres may have beat him if it werent for that. Paulie & N'Dou also gave him hell
Wouldn't that make him a good reason to be the best 140 pounder? You can also say "he was bigger" than everyone for each division in boxing. He made the weight limit for all his fights, so that really shouldn't matter. He was not only bigger he was very skillful and I have to agree. Kosta stopped fighting nearly 10 years ago so I don't see how he should even be counted.

Paulie took some kind of whupping though... Lol.
I would have loved to see Cotto vs the durable 140 guys fighting now and in the past few years.

No.. He was chinny at 140
Floyd, manny, and possible tszyu would beat cotto..
I think cotto destroys hatton, Bradley, Alexander, Danny,
Lucas v cotto would be a great scrap that would resemble Torres v cotto
Kosta
Cotto
Bradley
