      If he can unify 154lb division by beating Spinks and/or Dzindziruk that would make him 17-2-0 in world-title fights. Becoming undisputed champ would really help his case and I think he'd get into the HoF.

      But I think he should try to cement his legacy by fighting Sergio Martinez, if he wins then I think he'd definitely get into the HoF, I'd also rank him in the top 4 or 5 P4P in the world too. but I think Martinez beats him. If Martinez can beat Cotto then maybe he's got a case for HoF if he can rematch Paul Williams and win, as well as unifying against Sturm and/or Sylvester.
      That's the key, If he wins another big fight like Martinez or Williams then id put him in. If he fought another top guy and lost by KO again then I wouldnt be sure if you would have him in there. He's good but im not sure where he ranks among the best fighters of this era.

        So what? Because he WON close fights the win isn't good enough? I guess since Mayweather didn't beat DLH by 10 rounds we should discredit that win.

            I see where you coming from, Cotto has beaten about 10 world champions but alot of them like Quintana, Corley, Branco, Urkal and Jennings were pretty average fighters.

            Cotto still has that lingering loss to Margarito also. Who has 6 losses

            If Cotto beats Paul or Sergio that puts him in...

            Otherwise you can't say he is a sure bet for the HOF

              I don't like Cotto much, his attitude rubs me up the wrong way at times, but I cannot deny he belongs in the hall of fame

                  I can't remember her real name, I just know her as Kimber from Nip/Tuck.

                    look Cotto is a good fighter but not an elite if you lower that standers and let this guy in then HOF wouldn't be what it is and honestly you could make an argument for lots of other guy's that have no business being in there

                      I still think he's on the cusp, one more win will make him a lock. I'm simply saying you can't put "barely" about a win. Not everyone is going to blow everyone out of the water.
