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

The least deserving fighter that got into the HOF that I know of is Barry Mcguian. All the other ones that I know of have a better resume than Cotto. I thought Mosley beat Cotto and got robbed. Sure he gave credit to Cotto in the post-fight interview. But that was to prevent another Golden Boy-Top Rank rift. Cotto got outlanded in power punches and was the only one that got hurt in that fight.
This is also a version of Mosley that is way past what he was when he fought a prime De La Hoya. Combine all this with the fact that he let his #1 threat leave the division in Paul Williams and squat on vacant title belts, he is far from the HOF. I think Williams has a better resume than Cotto. It has quality over quantity. Cotto's resume has quantity over quality. Cotto has never convincingly beat an A-level fighter.
Cotto has a bunch of C+ to B level fighters on his resume like Malinaggi, Torres, Judah, Corley, Bailey, and Abdulaev. The only A level fighters that Cotto has fought are Mosley and Margarito. I thought Mosley beat Cotto by hurting him, and not showing any broken determination in the late rounds. And the Margarito thumping that Cotto got was due to effective body punching and uppercuts that Margarito was landing and Cotto's flaws as a boxer. Luis Resto did not throw any body punches on Collins. So is that win by Margarito that questionable?
Williams already has two A-level fighters on his resume in Margarito and Williams. And he is about to BEAT THE #1 GUY IN THE MIDDLEWEIGHT DIVION FOR HIS TITLE IN KELLY PAVLIK AND NOT SQUAT ON A VACANT BELT.Comment
