Cotto is an upgraded version of Chavez

[CottoBreaksMen]

He has the skills to be, Chavez had the skills and proved it over a great career, one I doubt(even if Cotto does become an ATG, which I think he can) Cotto can match.

Cotto is not a better version, just a slightly bigger version. P4P he had similar skills yes, you could even argue was more complete, but wasn't quite as good at what he does best(pressure fighting) as Chavez was and sure has a LONG way to go before reaching Chavez's accomplishments.

Randall is Chavez's owner.... Made Chavez look Mexican in all of their fights.

Really? No wonder Floyd doesn't want to fight him then.

Good post, yea I highly doubt he will be as great as Chavez, but who knows, Cotto is very young, but there is a difference between who's greater and who's better.

Prime Chavez right here.

Chavez did everything Cotto does but a little bit better, Besides the Chin that was in a class by its self.

Great to Judge a man by the tail end of his career.

Chavez won his first title in 84, he fought Randall in 94. 45 fights after winning his first title.

Im sure Randall will go down as the better fighter.

They are all similar but Chavez apponents **** all over Cotto's from your list.

The Closest might be Camacho=Mosley for the fact they were Ex Champs who were not in their prime. You have to agree Chavez did better against Camacho then Cotto did against Mosley.

was cotto hurt in the fight?
nah i don't think so.
you have seen him hurt
he comes forward when hurt
i wished he would pressed the action and not gone oscar for the last two rounds[even though he out landed mosley]
so everyone wouldn't have another thing to complain about him with.

What? Frankie Randall? I didn't even get your post. Chavez was Mexican. And saying Randall was Chavez's owner is kinda like saying Berbick was Ali's owner.
