Why Cotto is a future Hall-of-Famer

[Clyde Barrow]

Give him a spot. His only losses were in big fights. All his title matches were pretty exciting and he didn't try to milk his title belts with easy fights. He's coasting recently, but he's earned that right since his time is almost up. And jumping back into the fire with Margarito for the grudge match shows he still has some desire left.

imo hes not a hall of famer, hes a ood throw back fighter who was never anything special to me, seems humble also...

he lost to clottey also but we all know being loyal to bob arum will bet u a robbery...

theres history, theres bad blood, theres a possible scandal.

none of them are shot, they are simply deteriorating.

First fight was awesome, and their fighting spirit is still there.

We're not talking about B-hop vs roy 2 here.

You can stick a fork in Margarito and Cotto is at the point where you keep checking to make sure he's not overcooked.

This fight is very close to B-Hop vs. Roy Jones 2 IMO.

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?

I would say Cotto is in Calderon class no? The question should be if Calderon is in Cotto class.

Neither are HOF'ers in my book.

I disagree.

I found B-Hop-Roy useless when it happened.

Cotto-Marg for me is the most anticipated PPV fight this year. More so than Floyd/Ortiz and Pac/JMM. For the reasons that Harry mentioned and because I don't know who would win.

I knew who would win in B-Hop/Roy, and I know will win in Floyd and Pac fights. But, this one? And, you add the controversy and the drama of the first fight the bad blood. sheeeeeeeeeeeet

Not in my book either. I was with him until he mentioned Calderon.

Too many fighters who deserve to be in before these 2.

I think Calderon is going to the HOF. I don't think Cotto is right now. I can't say he is in CAlderon's class. But maybe my wording isn't the best.

It wasn't a robbery though.

It was a very close fight. Clottey being Clottey probably lost it more than he won it. Because, he's a good loser a mental midget.

That's why it makes me laugh when people say that Pac-Clottey was fixed.

Calderon is not going in and shouldn't go in.

Why would YOU vote for Calderon over Cotto?
