History will re-evaluate Cotto as a great

[egodfather]

Cotto's resume reads:

Torres: undefeated, came back to win a championship
Malignaggi: undefeated, came back to win a championship
Maussa: undefeated, came back to win a championship
Quintana: undefeated, came back to win a championship
Judah: came back to win a championship
Mosley: became THE lineal welterweight champion after Cotto loss
N'dou: came back to win a championship
Clottey: likely to win a championship again
Foreman: undefeated, likely to win a championship again
Not to forget he beat former champions like Cesar Bazan & Corley.

Cotto has 1 legit loss on his record and that's to one of the greatest fighters of all-time. Considering he had no trainer, he didn't do all that badly and was definitely competitive for considerable parts of the fight. He wasn't shut-out like Trinidad was against Wright or Hopkins.

If you guys want to give Margarito - a convicted cheat - the benefit of the doubt then that's a real shame.

History will re-evaluate Cotto as a great from this era of the fight game.

He's a 3-weight world champion and has taken on the best possible challenges. Let's not forget that Hatton wanted NOTHING to do with Cotto @140: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/3670136.stm

And at 147, Cotto at his very best gives Mayweather a 50/50 fight.

Many consider Trinidad a great of the era but name me one fighter he beat who was better than the Mosely that Cotto beat?

As a neutral fan, I feel compelled to speak up for Cotto because it it wasn't for fighters like him, I wouldn't follow boxing.

As of today he only has two losses and one of the losses has an *.

How does that article prove Hatton wanted nothing to do with Cotto?

I lol'd at this....

Clottey: likely to win a championship again

[The Surgeon]

Cotto actually called for a Hatton fight on sky which was totally out of character for him Ricky responded by telling the sky guys it will be bigger later lets leave it now

[Chups]

I surely hope so. Would be nice to see Cotto among the HOF.

cotto will never be considered great because his footwork is atrocious, watch a cotto fight, he boxes orthodox yet he moves away from opponents in his natural southpaw stance, this is why he gets caught flat footed often times like in the pacquiao and margarito fights and has trouble transitioning from moving to fighting, also floyd whoops him 10 times out of 10, 50/50 fight? child please

Check out what the surgeon posted and let's be real, Cotto would have abused Hatton.

Oh really, show me. Cotto didn't call Hatton out once at 140 after Hatton beat Tszyu.
