Cotto will get in. I've heard from boxing writers who have said the same.

I have no doubt he will get in but is he worthy?? Especially with what he has done at 154 so far???Is what he did at 140 and 147 enought to be HOF material?? His biggest win IMO was against an older Mosely...Originally posted by Slyboots View PostComment

If Al Bernstein is in the HOF then Cotto is.
Al Bernstein wasn't even a fighter.Comment

To me he probably deserves to get in, he has taken on the best available fighters and won titles in 3 divisions
If i was being a bit less generous then he has options to get him in, some more likely than others.....
1. A title in a 4th weight class (a first for a PR fighter) vs Chavez ....
2. A win over the MW Champion of the world Sergio Martinez
3. A rematch win over Pacquaio, the #2 (imo) fighter on the planet
4. A win over Boxing's top man Floyd Mayweather Jnr
5. A Unification win over Undefeated star Saul Alvarez
6. A solid run at LMW vs some good contenders like Kirkland, Lara ect...
Either one of these six options gets him in for sure as far as im concerned, like i say though some would be far more unlikely than others.
Id like to see him take on Alvarez and Pacquaio in his next fights but i can see the Chavez Jnr fight being a real option and not one im crazy on... Jnr who isnt great but.... well actually he is pretty poor, just not as bad as advertised, wouldnt bring much respect from the critics if Cotto should win and with his size - the guy is a Big MW, against Miguel who is a stump at the weight and who's power may not be quite the same up in weight IS a threat....Comment

His resume is quite worthy in my opinion. His wins at 140 over Carlos Maussa, Victoriano Sosa, Lovemore N'dou, Kelson Pinto, Randall Bailey, DeMarcus Corley, Ricardo Torres, Gianluca Branco, and Paulie Malignaggi are often overlooked but they are very solid wins. At 147, his wins over Quintana, Urkal, Judah, Mosley, and Clottey are extremely solid as well. At 154, he beat Yuri Foreman who, if you don't remember, was a 2-1 favorite to beat Cotto and most boxing fans and boxing "experts" were picking Foreman to beat Cotto easily. Hell, Yuri Foreman was a legitimate champion too since he beat Daniel Santos. Add his wins over Margarito, Mayorga, and Gomez (lol) and that seems like a pretty strong resume to me.Originally posted by RIZO24 View PostComment

I think he is worthy or at least very close to the HOF as it is.Comment

Come on man, you know I meant Cotto, Unless you think Mosely was not old when he fought Cotto?? Mosely was 36 when he fought Cotto by the way!!!Originally posted by BillyBoxing View PostComment

Damn those are some pretty impressive names at 140. LMAO Malignaggi being the best..LOL at 147 he beat a 36 year old Mosely and IMO Clottey did enought to gethe win in their fight.. Then you are really making me laugh!!!Foreman a legit champion, come one, stop trying to hype up that win, The real question is why Cotto was even fighting Foreman for that championship when there were more deserving contenders at tha time??OH and Gomez and Mayorga, really?? You are ****en hilarious!!Originally posted by porknchili View PostComment
