Where does Cotto rank all time Puerto Rican fighters

[fishscale]

Cotto is a damn good fighter and a good champion but he has a lot of competition to make it into the top 10 PR.

Wilfred Benitez
Carlos Ortiz
Wilfredo Gomez
Tito Trinidad
Jose Torres
Edwin Rosario
Wilfredo Vasquez
Esteban DeJesus
Hector Camacho
Carlos DeLeon
Sixto Escobar
Pedro Montanez
Fres Oquendo

The list goes on.

Gomez, Benitez, Ortiz, Trinidad, Camacho, Cotto

this ^^^ here sounds about right

I have him about #13, top of my head who is ahead of him is Benitez, Ortiz, Gomez,Torres, Trinidad, Dejesus, Montanez, Camacho, Serrano, Escobar, Vasquez, Deleon (three time cruiser champion).

I won't argue much if he was around #11-#13, but he is not top 10 in my book. Maybe he is slightly ahead of Escobar and Vasquez.

This is a repeat thread as i wrote about this in the past.

I have him slighty ahead of Laporte, Rosario, and Calderon. Now the thing about Laporte is that although COtto has the better career, Laporte was much more competitive in big fights. Laporte was never knocked out or even knocked down. Laporte got in the ring with killers as Salvador Sanchez, Azumah Nelson, Tszyu, W. Gomez, and Chavez. I thought he beat CHavez by one point 114-113. The only official stoppage of Laporte's career was an eye injury not a knockout in the classic sense.

I don't know if I would place them in that same order but those are the ones. Throw in Vázquez and Chapo and you got a definitive Top 8. The next two would be up for debate.

A case can even be made for top 7. Let alone 10
