At least those two guys have stamina and a chin to make up for whatever defense they lack.

    Cotto has the resume of a warrior, but he didn't have the style of one. And I don't think there is anything more true than that. Dude aint a top flight fighter and that's why he's going after guys like Castillo and Foreman. I also thought that Mosley beat him and the Clottey fight could've went either way. The reason I say that is because Mosley did more damage to him than Clottey did and landed harder punches.
    Don't forget about how embarrassing the Packy fight was too. Losing to Packy like that is disgraceful..

        JMM and EM beat him.

        Cotto was supposed to beat the smaller Packy and showed up to fight for 4 rounds.

        Pathetic.

            LOL, ok. But Cotto didn't fight with any heart after 4 rounds.

            All those other guys (especially JMM and EM) fought to win. Cotto fought to survive.

            I can't respect a guy who backpeddles all fight like that.

My point is that he's basically fought in 1 weight class his whole career. He was twice as big as anyone at 140 and then he's the same size and stronger than most at WW. How should he get mad credit for fighting these cats? Pretty much everyone in boxing fights guys at there original weight. No one ducks anyone because all the sizes are even or even you are bigger & stronger than most. Its when you star to move up in weight when guys start to pick certain guys to fight and Cotto never did that. Dont tell me that he moved up to WW either. He was always a WW, just fighting at 140
              Floyd ducked margarito, cotto and mosley so your post fails miserably.

                Great article, Cotto's resume ****s on any fighters fighting today not named Pac. He's one of the best fighters of the modern era and will always be remembered for his willingness to fight anyone.

                      Cotto is not a gatekeeper......he's a champion. Gatekeepers are good but never champion like Rocky Juarez.
