    Hell ****ing no!!!!!!!! Cotto belongs in the Hall of Alright Boxers. Cotto never beat an elite prime fighter. Mosley was very good win for Cotto I give him all the credit in the world for that win. Other than that though Cotto didn't do anything special in boxing.

    Why would beating any version of Margarito especially this shot one cement Cotto's legacy and assure him a spot in the HOF? That makes no sense at all when considering even without the plaster scandal Margarito was not going to the HOF either!

      he could secure his place in the hof by beating margarito come december, and if he could secure chavez before martinez violently takes his belt back, its a given
      beating this margarito puts you into the hof?

      i guess we should put margarito in it too..... or david haye
      not every good fighter you see on tv will end up in the hof.

        Off the top of my head right now Floyd, Manny, Bhop, Roy Jones, JMM, Wlad, Calderon, MAB, Morales, (I'm forgetting some) are active or semi active boxers definitely guaranteed HOF. Is Cotto in that class?

          with his record and a redeemed loss, the only flaw on his record would be pacquiao...a bonafide hall of famer

          margarito's best win was over cotto and it still has an asterix behind it for most people

          explain to me how david haye and tony deserve to be in the hof as much as cotto does...

            Cotto doesn't deserve to be in the HOF is the whole point. Cotto was a good fighter but he is not HOF worthy IMO.

                and who did cotto beat to put him in the ibhof? Hes got 1 big win in shane mosley who was far from prime.

                david haye does not deserve to be in there.. of course not, i was being sarcastic.

                Margarito has as good wins as cotto. PRIME Cotto, Martinez, cintron, clottey, vs. mosley, clottey, judah, quintana, foreman.

                I like Cotto a lot, but he needs to do more. Beat Martinez or clean the 154 division would be good.

                  why does cotto deserve it over others whos not in it?

                  cotto needs to do more to justify a HOF spot, and to call him an atg is just so ridiculous.

                  kind regards,
