      100%, Cotto is a true warrior who always faces the best. He's fought every top 147lber besides Mayweather and I wonder why that is?

            I like Cotto but TBH I think he will be forgotten in the pages of boxing history.

              Cotto is a throwback fighter who will simply fight anyone. He'll never be looked at as the #1 fighter in the world, but he's been in some great battles that we'll remember for years to come.

              Lost a now disputed fight to Margarito, and lost to the #1 fighter in the world. Not too bad if you ask me. People dwell too much on losses these days.

                Cotto was on shaky legs against EVERY fighter he's faced at the above B level. He's always found a way to win thanks to the low blows and body slams.

                Great? Hell no!

                  Ehhh I wouldn't go that far. Puerto Rico is a staple in Boxing and their champions are always revered. Yea, they don't get Ali, Leonard, Hearns type of noteriety, but nevertheless they're remembered. Cotto will be along the names of Tito, Benitez, Gomez, and many others.
