Cotto is already a Hall of Famer, will beating Pacquiao catapult him to ATG top 100 ?

So while it wasn't convincing, it was definitely a solid win in a big fight. That's something Quartey and some of the other "very good but not great" guys didn't do.
    Quartey beat prime Forrest clear as day and was robbed. Quartey also beat DLH. Two of Quarteys four losses were fights he won. Vargas and Winky were the only ones who beat him.

      4-5 then he'll retire.

      he'll lose to pacquiao and lose 2 more to mosley and marg then retire.

      he'll probably sandwich a win or two against nobodies in between those losses.

      he'll retire and cotto fans will talk about how fun he was to watch and how he fought everyone but they'll finally shut the fuck up about how great cotto was.

        I agree, but history won't. When people draw up All time WW lists they're not gonna go, "oh well I think Quartey beat Oscar" and put him higher. For better or worse, that's not how it goes.

        For the record, I thought it was clear as day that Quartey beat Oscar. I admittedly have never seen the Forrest fight.

            Cotto is already a first ballot hof'amer.

            He doesn't need to beat Mosley again either. Once he k.o's Pac he can be considered at least top 100 ATG.

            Anyone who says he's not or that his resume is weak is either a dumbass or a hater.

              And the brutal loss to Margarito, the controversial decision over Clottey, the running from Shane in the championship rounds and the suspect chin all keep him from Top 100 ATG status IMO. No way in hell will he break into the Top 100. He'll go on to lose his biggest fights before he retires (Paquiao, Shane & Margarito rematches, Mayweather).
              You're just getting dumber by the day.

                What is Cotto's best win?? Old past it Mosley.

                Winky wins has beaten Mosleyx2, schooled Tito. Arguably beat Taylor,Hopkins and Varger
                Nobody is discussing Winky not being good.
                Winky
                Draw against Taylor
                Win over Tito
                Lost against Vargas
                Lost against Hopkins.

                since when do you get to the ATG by being beaten?

                  Why do people give him credit for the Clottey fight. Many thought he lost.

                    he got a good resume but what is so good about being beaten?
