      Who have they beaten to deserve getting inducted into the HoF?

        Hmm I forgot Clottey who was another step up in competition for Cotto, so in fact Cotto is 6-3 in big fights.

                Damn, people bring up Cotto in threads that mention Arce. WTF is wrong with dudes? The hating is laughable. Can't anyone just have a boxing discussion that is on point? Effin lames.

                Anyways to answer the question, I don't think he should get in, but his body of work and longevity deserves a chance on the ballot and a debate at the very least. He's at least earned that.

                    Cotto in reality is 5-3 in Top fights.

                    First was against Quintana where he stepped up in weight and competition.

                    Then came Judah who was seen as a tough fight for him considering he gave Mayweather hell for the first half of the fight and was once the unified champ. Cotto never fought a guy like Judah before. Then came Mosley who was already a hall of famer and hadnt lost in some time. The Margarito where he lost. Then Pacquiao where he also lost. Then Foreman as it was going up another division. Then the margarito rematch. Then the Mayweather fight.
                    why do people always bring that mental midget Judah up like it was a good win? the fucker didn't have a win in over 2 years when he fought Cotto. Bum ass fight.....

                      No. But not because "he took advantage of a weak era in his weight", his wins just don't stand out.

                      But who cares? Who's going to care? Will ESPN care, will it be on any major news? Nobody cares about who gets inducted into the HOF in boxing because the standards are low.

                      What an ATG is in boxing is actually what the HOF is in every other sport. Too bad ATG doesn't even exist, there's no award or anything to become an ATG, there's no inductions. All ATG's are bunched up together in the HOF. Sugar Ray Robinson shares the same award as Arturo Gatti. IBHOF is trash, there's no criteria, just a bunch of blind picks. You need no statistics, no certain amount of wins over champions, no certain amount of fights.
