Why Miguel Cotto is the best name to have on your resume right now...

[Fox McCloud]

98% of all elite fighters have a certain label attached to them when they lose:

1. Too small (De La Hoya against Hopkins)
2. Too old (Hopkins against Calzaghe)
3. Too green (Witter against Judah)
4. Too unskilled (Corrales against Mayweather)
5. Killing themselves to make weight (Miranda against Pavlik)
6. Hasn't fought anyone (Adamek against Dawson)

Do you know which of those categories Miguel Cotto falls under? None!

He is at the proper weight, where he is very big, but doesn't kill himself to make weight. He isn't past his prime at all, but he is a very established great fighter/champion. He is one of the most skillful fighters in the game and has one of the best resumes in the sport that I can think of. Not only does he have some great names on his resume, but he has beaten most of them in a very impressive fashion. Oh yeah, and he also has a tremendous amatuer background which is always a nice addition to any fighter.

Is there another beast in the sport who doesn't have a ready-made excuse attached to them if they lose? I can't think of any, at all.

He is also the best fighter in the world IMO.

Very good point, but haters will always find something. For example if he fought Mayweather and PBF managed to stop him they'd point to Cotto's suspect chin due to being hurt by Corley, Torres, et cetera, you know how haters are.

That's bul**** and you know it!
Mayweather's criticism is well deserved!
He has only fought two top ten welterweights since he has been in the division so get the **** outta here with that ****!
