What does Cotto do that puts him in this league?

[AIR_KENG]

if cotto has to fight anyone of those 4 guys now, he will defeinitely lose... torres rocked him and torres is almost a nobody that is undefeated... he will eat some leather if he challenges them now

THE MAN that you are refering to is a has been champ, a once great fighter, an aging, slower, weaker fighter.

I assume you rpseaking o f Mr. Zoo being old, slow and weak?

Sure it is easy to say that now but were you picking Hatton to beat KT?

Hatton is the 140 KING, Diego, JL and Floyd have all owned at 1 time the 135 pound division...

Will Miguel Cotto ever own a division or will he be sort of like Fernando Vargas who can beat Shibata Flores/Castiejllo for a belt but cant beat THE MAN?

Fair point scap.

No one picked Hatton to beat Tszyu, and once Tszyu loses they call him aging, and slow. Really erks me!

I think Cotto has done alot. His resume is better than Hatton's,...way better. He has fought fighters like; Victoriano Sosa, Chop Chop, Pinto, N'dou, Bazan, Jukko, Abdulaev. Also his style is the most marketable style out of all of the previous boxers mentioned. He fights with more style than Mayweather, Castillo, Corrales, and Hatton. People love to see him fight. Oh and finally he is the best body puncher out of all of these fighters. As Bob Arum said "He is not a good body puncher, he is a great body puncher". Victoriano Sosa whom fought names like Mayweather and Spadafora said, "he has relentless stlye, be has an impressive arsenal of punches." He also has a much higher KO percentage than any of the fighters previously mentioned. I am not saying that he is ready to fight all of them. Cotto is still young with alot to learn, he admits that. But he is in this class because people love to see the man fight. He is not a boring Winky, economical Hopkins or sloppy Hatton. He is exciting, and has a great left hook.

Vicky Sosa was 135 pounder fighting a junior middleweight, that fight was not fair.

As for Cotto being more exciting...I guess your entitled to your opinion...I guess.

He was 36 years old when he fought Hatton. 36 years old is definitely aging!

Sosa had not had a real fight at 140, however.
Just because you weigh a certain amount, it doesn't make you legitimate in that weight class.

[scap]

Listen Camacho Sosa had absolutely no business fighting at 140, no business...but do I expect you to understand this...no.

As for Cotto if you have been following him and judging by your posts you havent you could make the case that just as Sosa doesnt belong at 140 neither does Cotto.

Cotto is the biggest 140 pounder you will find-Sosa is the smallest 140 pounder you will ever find.
