    lmao, 14 people for Cotto and 5 for Vargas.

    Cotto's the hot item and Vargas hasn't been around the scene for a while.

    All the *******s want to glorify Pac's win over a shot Cotto, so of course their vote goes for the best welterweight of all time, behind Pac, Miguel Cotto.

      Both guys showed a certain degree of versatility and resilience, Cotto maybe a bit moreso than Vargas throughout his career. I think Cotto should get the nod here, but they're in the same ball park.

        i voted for vargas

        i think someone already said it but i dont think any version of cotto beats ike or wins a controversial dec over winky.

        the vargas that fought ike would have beat margo.

        but in terms of longviety cotto was better

              ofcourse you would say vargas.

                I'm going with Vargas. Cotto had a better jab, but I feel Vargas' pressure was better and could deal with different styles somewhat better then Cotto could. Better chin also.

                  Cotto easy, people getting confused. Vargas was a lot bigger than Cotto therefore "Vargas did better against Winky than Cotto would" is a pointless arguement.

                    People dont remember Vargas in the best light because he played a great villian a la Mayweather, but he was a serious warrior. Unlike Cotto, he never quit.
