is Miguel Cotto a Hall of Famer?

[Versatility]

ive heard some pacquiao stans say he is

Lets see:

2 Losses both brutal... to Margarito and Pacquiao

Best win is a close win over Shane Mosley (Floyd dominated him) and a beating of Zab Judah (Floyd already beat him) and barely beat Joshua Clottey, infact the second time I scored it I had Clottey winning compared to the first time where I had Cotto winning by a point.

Other than that he has wins over Paulie Malignaggi (A guy Amir Khan and Ricky Hatton dominated), Carlos Quintana (We know what happened after the Cotto fight), and Ricardo Torres (Who???)

So the simple question is, Hall of Famer or Not?

when he retires - he's a ****en first ballot hall-of-famer, or 2nd go 'round.

pac fan's aren't that dumb.

Based on which win? Whats your criteria to get in the Hall of fame?

Cotto fought every big name. Took every tough fight. His resume reads like a top P4P list. And he came out the other side with only one legit loss.

So to me he's a HOFer.

dude you do not become a hall of famer by beating the likes of clottey and judah...is carlos baldomir a hall of famer too? he has wins over gatti, judah and clottey.

malignaggi, torres?? come on man...where are my neutral rican brothers?? he hasnt beat margarito yet...and won a 7-5 decision over mosley, and barely got past clottey.

out of all the fighters you named i can only say mosley is a hall of famer.

mayweather beat shane after cotto beat him and zab got ko'd by miguel. floyd got a decision over him.

[Boss2k10]

Any Cotto fans care to explain how a fighter who has never been THE CHAMP at his weight can be considered a HOFer?

Not only that but what big win does he have. Yes he beat Mosley but that was a close fight and he has been destroyed by Margarito and Pac.

Surely he needs to have a few more good wins before he merits the HOF.
