Miguel Cotto's campaign at welterweight is overrated

[Bad_Barracuda]

Hatton who? Hatton wasn't even a welterweight. DLH is old.. you said it yourself. He isn NOTHING like what he used to be just like Mosley.. and Mitchell? You mean the guy who's losses have ALL came by knock out?? hahahahaaaa He beats Tackie and Nduo and now he is one of the best welters in the division now? c'mon.. you a joke.

Well if that's the case Shane was old and Judah and Urkal weren't even welterweights.

At least Mitchell was ranked and a former champion...unlike Gomez..who never won ****.

Taking Oscar's belt at 154 trumps anything Cotto has ever achieved..Cotto has never taken a champs belt..he simple squats on them once they've been VACATED.

Cotto > Mayweather @ welter. That's all there is to it.. Don't like it, not my prob. but that's just the way it is.

He may be squatting on a title but he has fought better op then Mayweather has.. end of.

Before you Cotto lovers get your panties in a bunch this isnt a thread dissing your dude. Whenever I go thru these different threads i often see people saying Cotto has beat top opposition at welterweight and this and that.. I respectfully disagree.. I think his stint at welter has been overrated by his fans.. Im not saying he didnt fight anyone good, im just saying he didnt beat the best..

Oktay Urkal - a veteran boxer, good but not great.. not really a proven champ he lost all his fights against good competition.. he's one of those stepping stone fighters

Zab Judah - A fighter with all the skills but lacks mental toughness and had been coming off a string of bad losses and inactivity.. Even with that he could of handed Cotto his first loss and the dynamic of the fight may have been different if he didnt suffer from those multiple low blows..

Carlos Quitana - a decent fighter many people thought he would beat cotto..

Shane Mosley - a good fighter when he was younger.. relied on his speed and athletic abilities kind of like judah.. he was a game challenge and is a proven champ and some argue he beat cotto, even though i believe cotto won..

Alfonso Gomez - to me he was a C- fighter.. Known for being on the contender, has decent skills but isnt really fast and hasnt accomplished anything and isnt a threat.. his best quality is his strong chin..

none of the fighters were the ring welterweight champs at the time or ranked # 1

we can compare it to Judah's resume at welterweight or even Mayweather's and there resume is greater if not equal to Cotto's in my opinion

floyd only had 4 fights at ww and 2 of them were against junior welters,hatton was at 140 and came up just to fight floyd and mitchell had no previous fights at ww before fighting floyd, thats a better resume than cotto?

gomez had never been kd or knocked out and cotto did both and urkal had previuos fights at 147 prior to fighting cotto

sharmba ws washed up after tszyu ****ed his knee up atr 140 so how is mitchell a good fight at 147

[fightingfigs]

HAHAHAHA at this and the 1,000,000 other threads exactly like it.

You guys are jokes, who gives a **** about arguing resumes at this point. Cotto is in his prime and will probably have a WAAAAAY bette resume than Floyd will ever have before retiring.
