If cotto wins he becomes better than Trinidad??

[Dorian]

cotto has to beat floyd and hatton to even be considered in the same level as tito

[Rane-Ex54]

Ya'll are crazy, I like Cotto, but Trinidad is prob a top 10 Welterwight ever, gave first loses to a ton of really good fighters, and was knocking um all out. Ya;ll need to do your research.

and continually got exposed by his opponents of standing. who cares about his personality? De La Hoya, Hopkins, Wright.

trinidad was a champion at 20,and was reaching for greatness from day one exposed or not he fought the big fight.

don't say anything trinidad had three bad fights and all of a sudden he's a bum.****em.

In terms of resumes.. he'll tie him in my mind. Tito won a VERY disputed fight over De La Hoya, fouled his way to a good fighter in Vargas, and that's pretty much it. Other than that, he fought either fighters who were only pretty decent or faded, some both.

He had, Whitaker, faded.. who still gave him some trouble. He had Camacho, who I never thought much of, and Mayorga, who.. is Mayorga.

Then, his other two BIG fights, he loses, one to Wright that was EXTREMELY lopsided, and one to Hopkins, in which he was outboxed, then knocked out.

Whereas, anytime Cotto steps up, he has shined, thus far. Judah was game in their fight, for whatever reason (lol) but he still lost completely to Cotto. Cotto has a very exciting style of fight as well, so Tito fans can't go with that, either. Cotto CAN box, and isn't too slow, plus has a nice punch. Tito had power over Cotto, but otherwise, in terms of boxing, didn't have much else, not at this point in his career, especially.

A lot rides on this Mosley fight, though. he can have a win over the guy who beat Oscar twice, once deservedly, something that Tito REALLY couldn't do. Cotto then has A LOT of options, as I assume the fight would be very exciting if he could win it. I just see him losing, that's all. POint being if he beats Mosley, fair and impressively, all he'll be doing is adding on to his resume whereas Tito faltered everytime he succeeded towards the end of his career.

In terms of popularity with the Puerto Rican people, he has a HUGE mountain to climb. One, he may never be able to topple, regardless of what he does.

please.and vargas didn't try anything right.**** out of here when the going gets tough you got to man up.he's was macho right?**** that no excuses it was a great fight that he lost.

haha i think u read my post wrong duke, Tito is in my mind one of the best fighters of our generation. My fav fighter actually. And he beat ODLH, watch the fight on MUTE.

He had three or four bad fights.. out of his 6 big fights. That's the problem..

Whitaker.. Looked only decent in it, but I'll give it to him. Good fight, won.
Vargas.. Fouled, and if you think that doesn't matter, take two Trinidad punches to your nuts and try to function with your RESPONSE to this, let alone a championship fight.
De La Hoya.. Should have lost, pretty obvious. Either way, didn't look great in victory or defeat.
Hopkins.. KOed.
Wright.. Outboxed througout.
Mayorga.. Big deal.

Otherwise, he beat some decent fighters, and then padded his career like everyone else does in the beginning.

[Pugilistic™]

simple answer... no
