Why Cotto(and certain other fighters) will not get into the IBHOF

[Steak]

you missed my point. your pointing out fighters that have yet to be inducted as proof why cotto wont. your logic is sloppy.

also, Hamed did not beat champions and future HOFs like Cotto did. He came to the states, was embarrassed by Barrera, then fought one fight against a C level fighter and retired.

By the time Cotto is eligible, most of the future HOFs you mentioned will have already been inducted.

a lot of those fighters will retire around the time Cotto does. so they will be eligible the same time Cotto is. it depends how far takes his career though(which none of us know), and you also have to take into account other HOF possibles from the past that havent been voted in yet.

Hamed beat a lot of good fighters prior to Barrera and cleaned out his division, which is something Cotto has never done. Only people that dont know the division say he beat nobody. and he really opened up the public's eye to the lower weight classes, which didnt have a lot of publicity prior. he set the stage for greats like Barrera, Marquez, Pacquiao, etc.
Cotto only beat one possible HOF fighter, Mosley. and that was past Mosley's prime and was a close fight. Wright beat a more prime Mosley twice.
Cotto is a good fighter, no doubt. but I would be surprised to see him get in the HOF.
