    lets not forget that please
    So what, he fought them when other certain fighters (FLOYD) wouldn't.

    Yes, he deserves props for that but his fanboys make it out like fighting them = beating them. He lost badly to all of them. "OMGz Cotto fought everyone you guys!!! He's a LEGEND!!!!!"

        Cotto was the favorite more then 3 to 1 in a big money PPV fight if we start giving props to fighters taking big money fights they are heavily favorite in then your props are worthless

          What are you trying to say? That fighters that are big favorites shouldn't be given props? Cotto took on challenges when they were hot, that in itself is why he deserves props.

            Well, Cotto is a world-class fighter and he knows it. Like Sugar Shane. Like Pacquiao. Like Marquez. Like Mayweather. They all fight the best fighters if the circumstances are right. Because they all think they can beat everyone else.

            I know people will shout out now that Mayweather ducked him and her, but to them I'll say look at his track record. Been facing world champs in every weightclass in nearly every fight since he took his first title. Some of them were unexpected champions or too highly ranked, but hey.

                I guess we all can nit pick on every fighter out there. Dude is a throwback fighter. Props to him. He overachieved in boxing big time.

                    hell no he shouldn't get props for fighting Margarito because Margarito was on a bad run at the time and people were saying he was being fed to Cotto

                      He lost to Williams in a close fight but bounced back with a one-round blitzkrieg of Golden Johnson and committed sodomy on Cintron to gain his confidence back. He had lost a step or two but he was fine and a top fighter.
