    No, he's not overrated. Beat a game Zab Judah, beat a very good Shane Mosley, and was very competetive with one of the best Welterweight's in the world.

      I didn't say anything about cotto in that post. And I was being very sarcastic if you read the posts before this.... It was a JOKE!

          People were claiming he was as good as Mayweather. If that isn't overrated I don't know what is.

            No...but styles make fights and he fought against one of the worst styles for him. It happens to every boxer.

            Tito's nightmare style was against boxers with good defense (thats why Winky, Bhop, Roy and even Oscar got to him).

            Hell even Floyd had stylistic nightmares which is why educated pressure from Oscar led to a split decision and Castillo argurably beat him. Its also the reason i think Cotto can beat him.

            Right now i would pick Cotto to beat any welter except perhaps Margarito and even then I think he can beat him if he alters a few things.

                Every time someone loses, the detractors say that means he's overrated. If Mayweather fights a top welterweight and loses, that won't make him overrated. It'll mean that he lost to a better fighter, one equipped to defeat him.

                      correction, margo can only beat guys less stronger then himself sometimes (Pwill).
