Is Cotto already a Hall of Famer?

Would winning a title at 154 from someone like Foreman help Cotto?

No. Because Martinez, Dzinziruk, and Angulo are all considered better fighters. He's viewed as the weak link. If Cotto beat Dzinziruk or Martinez for their belt I might go out on a limb and say he is a border line case, and I'm one of the biggest Cotto haters on this forum.

The resume of Fernando Vargas is better than Cotto's in my view and I don't even think he belongs in the HOF. I think it's unfair to let guys in who have become stepping stones at a young age unless they've had over 50 fights like Morales did. We need to keep the HOF for the cream of the crop. But a couple of guys got in like McGuinn and Hamed might get in unfortunately and that's what has lowered the standards. And why wouldn't Saad Muhammed not belong in the HOF? I didn't follow his career that much, but I thought people view him as a top 10 175 lber of all time.

no. in his 2 biggest wins, many people had mosley and clottey winning.

I thought he beat Mosley and the Clottey fight could have gone either way. I thought Cotto deserved it because Clottey stopped fighting that last round of a close fight. Yes, Cotto's will get to the a hall of fame. Hall of fame doesn't mean the absolute best if you look at the names in there. Cotto's credentials should get him in the HOF.

You can't seriously be comparing Gatti to Cotto, can you?

You're talking about a C level action fighter and a 3 time world champ and top 10 P4P fighter.

All of Cotto's titles have been won in a vacant fashion though. Quintana is the only fighter that was any good that Cotto beat for a belt. The rest were nobodies. Cotto has more work to do if wants to be in the HOF. And you guys are bringing up Gatti, and I don't think he deserves to be there either.

Cotto is a hall of famer and one of the best PR's ever.
