    The legacy of Cotto?

    What would be the legacy of Miguel Cotto if he beats Foreman at 154, then retires? How would you rank him among modern day 140-147 pounders, and the 140-147 pounders of the past? Would he be a HOF fighter?

    I'd rank him as mediocre fighter who did OK. Probably not HOF worthy. Or maybe HOF but definitely not 'first ballot' HOFER and definitely not no ATG as he would lose to any ATG at any of the weight classes he was at.

      It's hard to say. I guess if he beats Foreman and then beat Margarito in a rematch then he could go out on top. But it heavily depends on his next fight and how that goes. Im not sure I would consider him a HOF fighter right now

      But he will always be loved in P.R

        Never fought an ATG.

        Only "beat" Mosley by robbery.

        Never really beat any great boxer.

              "Robbery" doesn't describe the Mosley fight.

                He's a good fighter. Anyone that can't even admit that he is a good fighter is clearly a hater. Hall of fame worthy, I doubt it.
