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

I do think he is overrated and his welterweight campiagn is blown out of proportion.

yea...your right..I am a hypocrite.....Mayweather was the ONLY one with a belt at welter since Cotto has been there...sorry for my IGNORANCE to the sport....

to Anton the Great...actually when Cotto fought for the VACANT title against Carlos...Zab was UNDISPUTED...y not fight Zab THEN??..but he hasn't taken a belt from a Champ, so blame that on Mayweather too....

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.

Cotto has never won a title at 154..hell..he's NEVER fought somebody that outweighed him.

Oscar at 154 is better than anything Cotto has ever achieved.

Floyd...wins his fights IN THE RING

Cotto...wins his fights ON THE SCALES

Zab couldn't have beat Miguel Cotto on his birthday during a solar eclipse.

When it happened doesn't really matter.
