      He is a decent fighter from what i've heard, he won't beat Cotto but will give him rounds under his belt.

        Yet again the salient point is that you wrote that Cotto is a "well deserved Champion". Care to comment on that bull****?
        Another Racist post. Who should be in Cotto's place? who has asked Cotto to fight that he has turned down? He is deserved because he has a very respectable resume and has beaten many good fighters convincingly and impressively. Name 4 fighters in the Junior Welterweight division that are better than him? Can you find 4, how about 3?

          I'm reporting you for calling me racist. Its a commonly used argument in favour of Cotto and is completely baseless. Some of the Puerto Ricans on this site are good lads who know their boxing and listen to reason, you're not.

          Hatton
          Mayweather
          Margarito

          Thats three. None of the others are better than Cotto but one or two of the other fighters have achieved more as well, though are definately not as good.

          I'm not a Cotto hater, all boxing fans should be interested in Cotto (Hatton himself said something similar).

              I must have misread your post slightly, but it still apllies as Cotto is someone who has/will have weight problems.


              Mayweather isn't really a Welter at the moment, he still holds the WBC and has no fights lined up at Welter.

              Mayweather ad Hatton are better than Cotto and are the other ligtweight title holders. Hatton is the Champion so Cotto can't be a (LOL) "well deserved Champion" though he is hugely talented and exciting to watch.

                There are 4 belts, he has one of them, Hatton and Mayweather are the only ones that have a chance against him. Mayweather will give him definite problems, hatton im not to sure about. But yes as of right now those are the only legit fighters that are better than Cotto, but that is only two, and there are 4 belts, Cotto has one of them, He deserves it if he is in the top 3 and one of the top 3 is planning to fight at 147(mayweather).

                  Hatton has the ring belt and that denotes the real champion and the only deserving fighter in the division worthy of the title "champion" the others are just belt holders.

                      Miguelito will step up when the Thunder God himself, Nzechteltnan, rains destruction and locusts upon the commoners and mere mortals.
