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

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

maybe because Cotto won the fight?? Just because people think the lost, doesnt mean that he will not get credit. Why did Bladomir get credit for his win over Clottey? or why Pacquiao get credit for his win and draw over Marquez? Floyd over Castillo? Mosley over Oscar

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.

The Forrest fight was Lewis Holyfield esque. Ike was robbed totally blind in that fight.

Jermain Taylor, Ike Quartey..... Gave Hopkins a good fight.

The Taylor-Winky fight was really good. That's one fight where I was very entertained by both fighters.
Winky shouldn't danced the 12th though. That swayed the judges.
I thought he won against Taylor.

No one gives Baldo credit for the Clottey fight. Lmao, Clottey won every single round by the point he was DQ'd. A bad DQ as well, british refs are horrible.

I thought Winky had it in the bad by the 10th round. Winky won that fight. Also I think Winky won the 12th. Taylor did nothing in it.

I thought Taylor vs Wright was a draw

Man, that's ****ty to hear. I don't know how I've never seen the fight, I gotta check it out. I remember being outraged at the Oscar decision though, and I like Oscar.

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?

To be honest most who watched the fight believe Winky beat Vargas. Vargas was given the W he didn't earn it.

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

Why do you give Floyd credit for the first Castillo fight?

That was a real robbery.

Cotto actually beat Clottey by a point.

[WhoreUs]

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

and how many of those losses were decisive?

here's the point.

everyone overrates cotto's resume and say he fought such great opponents.

he really didn't. he has a good resume nothing special.

some of the guys people list for cotto as good opponents are no better quality or level than the guys floyd and pac fought as tuneups.

fact.
