In a word: NO.
Is Cotto already a Hall of Famer?

I already did in the first post:
If Saad Muhammed, Rosario, and Terry Norris are all HOFers, I don't see any reason why Miguel Cotto isn't one already. Do you agree?
What did these three above mentioned do that Cotto hasn't done?
Terry Norris is the only one of the 3 with a win over a HOFer (Leonard). Cotto has beaten a sure fire HOFer in Mosley.
Rosario won a LW title 3 times and a JWW title once. Cotto won a JWW title once, and a WW title twice.
Muhammed won a LHW title once and successfully defended it 8 times, Norris successfully defended his JMW title 10 times. Cotto successfully defended his JWW belt 6 times, then moved up to WW and won a belt, defending it 4 times before losing to Margarito.
So Cotto has won 3 world titles in 2 weight divisions, successfully defending his titles a total of 11 times. Only two losses, one against a ATG, and the other against a convicted cheater. And Cotto has a victory against a HOF fighter (Mosley), which only one of the previously mentioned 3 have.
If these 3 are HOFers, so is Cotto.Comment

That's not an argument for Cotto. You can throw out two names but people can throw out 200 names as to why he shouldn't get in. The only case you can make for Cotto is that last paragraph. He should be judged by his record, not Norris' record, not Rosario's record...just his.Comment

But then you compare him to a host of others and you think he has no shot. So it's best to argue for him on his own merit.Comment

I think his accomplishments are already close to enough, if not enough, to get him there.Comment
