Yeah. Definitely no shame in losing to Pacquiao. He's a A class fighter meaning hes one of the top in his weight class. B class IMO are guys like clottey

[THE REED]

Cotto is an elite fighter, that got beat by another elite fighter.

This is the truth. Everybody can lose and Cotto fought the best. He is a true warrior. Getting beaten by Pacquaio dosen't take away from what he did before that.

If everyone is considered second class when they get a loss on their record how can there ever be any great fighters? The mentality of the boxing fans today which discard every fighter who is not flawless is a shame to the sport. Look at the all time greats from history, who's got a perfect record? Robinson dosen't, Ali dosen't, Duran dosen't neither does anyone else of the true greats. Everyone loses sometime. What's of greater importance is how you react to that loss and where you go from there.

Cotto in my eyes was the best Welterweight. Even after his loss, he's still top 5.

Cotto is an elite fighter, that got beat by another elite fighter.

Cotto is a Top 3 WW right now even after the loss. He fought and defeated some fighters out there that many would not even get in the ring with. For anyone to try to down play this win by PACMAN or think any less of Cotto after this loss must be ignorant about fighting or boxing in general. The man got beat by a better man no if's and's or but's about it. Manny is an A+++ fighter...Cotto is still an A fighter....Lefty

Would you call Cotto an elite fighter or he was just a B Class fighter.I mean the guy got knocked out by a bantamweight but even before the knockout let's analyse his achievements.

He surely used dirty tactics to survive Joshua Clottey.Without hitting Josh's balls which caused Josh to rest for 2 rounds,Cotto would have been knocked out.

He was butchered by Margarito

Cotto's win over Mosley is debatable.
Cotto was really dirty with Zab Judah and why he was never warned,disqualified or have points taken we do not know.

Before that Cotto was being fed bums.

So how do you classify Cotto as a fighter,a man who has only won vacant titles?

Before Marg. cotto was an A fighter, after Marg Cotto became a B fighters sadly

[zeidrich]

cotto is elite, period

[MOTHER DUCKER]

Cotto is a good fighter who got beat by a much greater fighter

[KingTito]

Cotto is an elite fighter. End of story.
