    look, i think hes ****** too. cotto is obviously far from a gatekeeper, he is one of the best of his generation. but he isnt on par with JMM, you cant even compare them tbh. cotto had a great career but JMM is a living legend.

        Gatti isnt in the Hall of Fame and if he does get in i think the fact that he died will help him,Cotto is not a 1st ballot hall of famer imo but if he got in i would not be upset

              To those arguing about JMM and Cotto, I think JMM is better than Cotto but if they ever fought I don't know who would win. I think Cotto, at 147, might be too strong for Márquez. All in all, JMM is better P4P but Cotto might just beat him on size and strength.

                Aside from his last lost, and that to Magarito... his other two losses were to the top tier fighters, and having said that, he made Mayweather bleed and gave him a good fight.

                So yes, he is top 5... Marquez just one spot above him.

                Classy athlete too.

                  Look, i agree with you on marquez and all that, but since we are talking about 'legend'....why is he a legend? Because hes a tactician who has been in some wars, not always coming out on top when he faced the elites? And this doesnt apply to cotto?

                  'Legend' is a weird term, and subjective, but yes i believe marquez is a legend. And i also believe, like many other fighters and trainers, that cotto is a legend.

                  Im not trying to make anything out of comparing marquez and cotto. The guy just made the gatekeeper comment, and i looked at his sig...and voila

                    i wasn't impressed with cotto's recent performances, he was about to be tko'ed by margarito, luckily the ring side doctor stopped the fight (all thanks to pacquiao), mayweather was a more stationary target and cotto could not capitalize, trout out boxed cotto who was suppoed to be the better boxer. as it stands now, cotto does not belong in any top ten list
