Can we at least all agree, Miguel Cotto was never really that good anyway?

    Can we at least all agree, Miguel Cotto was never really that good anyway?

    I mean lets face it, Who has he fought in their prime?

    He got his ass kicked by Torres,
    Couldn't even KO Malignaggi,
    Fought a washed up Judah and got a gift decision against Oldsley?

    Even Clottey gave him trouble.

    Margarito makes him take a knee again, just watch....

    I wouldnt say that, But he was getting overrated just before he lost to Margarito, I alway liked Cotto but i also alway thought he was too slow compare to the elite but i was surprised he outspeed Mosley though.

      He was good, maybe very good, but never great.

      Could you imagine how badly Floyd would have outclassed him? No wonder Arum kept him away from jr.

          He was just okay. He's nothing special and won't go down as an atg. Maybe not even the HOF...

          Btw Malignaggi has an iron chin so I don't know where you were going with that.

            Hs nationalistic stans overrate the hell out of him like crazy. They have no one else to cheer for now so they are overdoing it much much more. He is a very skillful boxer and I love his accuracy with his punches. But like I said, his idiotic nuthuggers make him seem like a god that doesn't have flaws. When his flaws get exposed, they resort to calling the opponents "cheaters".

                I've never understood the whole hype. He's a good boxer but nothing amazing to me.

                    That I don't agree with, he was a very good fighter. Just that after the Margarito fight he hasn't really impressed me and has become more of a one handed fighter.
