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

    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.
    Cotto fought Margarito, Clottey, Mosley.

    Floyd didn't.

    Fact.

      "Cotto" There's more to do...

      IMO i don't think that Cotto is a hall of famer yet,this fight with Manny Pac is the start on his road to being a hall of famer.If Cotto can get passed Pac then go on to fight say Mayweather if he wins his fight with Marquez and beat Floyd jr then i would say that Cotto is knocking on the Hall of Fames door.
      I personaly think Cotto needs to fight a rematch with Margo for some get back and proove that he can beat Margo with fair play.
      Even a rematch with Mosley would be good for Cotto to secure his spot in the hall.Lets face it,yes Cotto beat Mosley(by a **** hair)but Shane made Margo look like a B rated fighter and thats something that Cotto was unable to do.
      Even if Margo had loaded gloves when he fought Shane it wouldn't of made any difference.I mean lets face it people..If you don't get hit it doesn't matter what your opponent is swinging at you.

        yeah but floyd only fought what 4 times at 147?

        floyd beating corrales at 130 and castillo at 135 by itself is better than cotto's entire career.

          People forget Floyd cemented his ATG status by being the best at 130-140 while he was there.

            130-135.

            it would have been nice to see kostya pass the torch to floyd and it was in discussion.

            but ricky was bigger money than floyd at the time. can't blame kostya , he was at the end of his career and he had to go for the bigger money.

                    You forgot to mention Cotto KO Judah, Corley and Sosa while Mayweather beat them by decision.

                      Also don't forget Cotto is MUCH BIGGER than Floyd. Floyd was outweighed by all those guys.

                      Floyd beat Oscar at 154. The same division where he handled 154 drugged up Mosley

                      154 Oscar > 154 Mosley
