How great could Cotto have been?

[Lechero]

Cotto is one of the best of this era. I have a huge amount of respect for him.

He just doesn't have fanboys because he is a fighters fighter, an old school guy. I don't care if he's starting to slide now, I'll never forget about the dude and how good he was.

You sure about that?

Miguel Cotto for the comeback! Miguel Cotto should first face his nightmare in fighting Margarito again. Mayweather vs Cotto should May win fights Pac.

that's the fight i wish i could have seen.. but now its too late, and even if it somehow happend, it would not be the same as it would have been 2 years ago

BTW I think Cotto would have been a top 50 or top 100 ATG. He had it all from timing to body punching to boxing to brawling. His only weak spot was the defence for uppercuts but he was just entering his prime after the Gomez fight and is a shame it was over so quickly.

One of the best of this era. No doubt. His stans were like *******s, if not worse at times.

So true and you can actually notice a difference from Cotto before Margarito and after.... not the same fighter...

You sure about that?

Yeah I'm positive about that. Maybe a few posters on this board take their appreciation of him too far and turn it into some gay hero worship ****, but this board is not the real world.

Great and then some. He would have been an ATG and the dude was a MACHINE. Like one dude already said his prime was just staring and I think those first 6 rounds against Margacheato were special. The way he was moving and countering at will was ATG like.

Absolutely.

I remember during the first half of that fight thinking that this was the only guy who can take it to Floyd. It's a shame things unraveled as they did, but I still have to support Cotto for the last few chapters of his career.

top10 atg in my book

FLOYD could fight COTTO after HATTON fight but instead he retired like a sissy just to avoid COTTO.
