        Believe me, beating Floyd would be as big or even bigger than when Tito beat Oscar. When Tito beat Oscar the governor gave the next workday off like a national holiday.

          Man Shiiiiiiiiiiiit if Cotto beats Floyd & somehow manages to get that Pacman fight again (around 150) not Pacman's mannyweight of 148 & beats him too, I'd say he's officially greater than Tito, IMO.

            He's already in, but if he beat Mayweather there would be no argument.

            As of now he's in as a product of both is resume and his reputation as an action fighter and as a big attraction.

            Beating Floyd would make him a member on pure resume-based merit.

              I don't think he's in already, he might be. But beating Floyd would be a lock imo. Of course, it depends how he wins (Kirkland-Molina).

                Sorry but I dont think so. Tito was loved by all of Puerto Rico and that win was huge. Though Cotto gets alot of support, there are still ppl on the island that arent big on him. (I've met alot) and even if he does beat Mayweather, there is still someone out there Puerto Rico would want him to beat.....Manny Pacquiao.

                Now if Cotto beats Mayweather & then rematches and beats pacquiao...now we are talking about a big reception.

                    Bro he's definitely in already. Sports writers, the people that vote, love him.

                      If he beats Floyd he's officially better than Tito imo. He's a better skilled fighter than Tito, Tito just had lethal power in that left hook.
