What would it take for Cotto to make the HOF

[FJRod]

Well he is already a HOF but he def should fight Sergio.

[LeG00N]

any of the following


-go up to 160 and beat Martinez

-Unify 154

-Avenge his lose to Paquiao

[BigDog9]

I would have thought he already made it

[Warring Don]

Completely clean out 154 and unify all the titles, or at least clean out the top half of the division. Then go back down to 147, beat Mayweather & avenge his loss to Pacquiao, and make a few defenses against top ten contenders as unified champ. THEN he'll get in based on merit instead of popularity.

I agree with this answer.

[WARQUEZ]

Unless a miracle happens and he beats Pacquiao or actually regrows his set of balls at this point of his career and fights and beats Martinez at MW then we can talk.

Until then he's made it clear he much rather have the biggest paycheck than put a stamp on his legacy so I expect a fight with Chavez Jr.

[New England]

This is to the people who think he isnt already HOF material, what is the MINIMUM he would have to do at this point to make the cut?

i think cotto's a pretty easy HOFER. i dont vote guys in to the hall, but i like to think i have a pretty good idea what the boxing writers will be doing with their ballots.


he's had a good tenure compared to his peers
a damn good one

they've got to let 3 boxers in every year


i dont think cotto deserves to get in straight away, but i cant see 3 guys getting in over him year after year after year.


he'll also get a good deal of sympathy for margarito's use of plaster.
coming up he was a very talented boxer

he fought margarito in his prime and after the fight he never hit that level again

[JAB5239]

He's already going to make it, anything else is moot.

[Light_Speed]

He'll be inducted, I don't know about first ballot though.

[AlwaysOnTop]

If fighting a prime Margarito is all it takes to be in the HOF we might as well put Paul Williams and Kermit Cintron in there too.

Sebastian Lujuan and Hercules Keyvelos.....get ready to be inducted..
