Miguel Cotto's opponents

@ 4Corners,

Cotto beating the Urkal's and Bronco's is like Guerrero beating Aydin and Berto beating Zaveck. The above fighters named are reasons Floyd fought Guerrero in the first place.

Cotto is great for the sport,,, Fights tough fights all the time,,, gomez and jennings were probably the only cherrypicks and cotto waxed them badly....
Always fought tough prime guys, alot of them undefeated like trout, pauli, torres,,,

Of course cotto isnt an ATG but he is damn sure a hall of famer, one of the greats from the past 10 years,,, never reached the same level as jmm, manny, floyd,, but def higher than a guerrero, corrales, hatton, etc...

cotto was pretty much an elite gatekeeper,,, you beat him and your probably the best in the division.....

Rodriguez will definitely lose, I like Delvin as he's been through a lot of robberies and I'm just happy to see him get a good paycheck but Rodriguez can't deal with boxers. Cotto will outbox him quite easily, and offensively he'll do a lot more than Trout did. I just want to see Cotto fight Carlos Molina afterwards.

Molina in my honest opinion is overrated, what he does in the ring wouldn't work against a physical guy who can fight on the inside, this is why Molina has had a lot of success in the ring, that coupled with the dirtiness but again that's the fight I really want to see at 154. If that's what it takes to prove Cotto has a lot left.

We'll see, I don't know.

I feel like any top JMW is a toss up against Cotto. I don't think he can beat Kirkland with Wolfe, Lara. It's a close toss up with Angulo. At this point I'm leaning on Canelo over Cotto.

Regarding the Molina fight, I can see your breakdown happening. I just feel like Cotto's been in so many wars he's really shop worn. Pre-plasterman, I think a fresh Cotto beats Trout. I really do.

Kirkland is too slow on his feet, same with Angulo, Lara can't fight on the inside, if Cotto can successfully neutralize Lara's straight left hand (And Angulo did have some success doing this) and get inside, it's a winnable fight. Lets remember that Cotto also took away Mayweather's straight right hand, which forced Mayweather to loop his right hand around the guard, or throw it over the top, if that counts for anything.

Cotto may have lost to Trout but he's a better boxer than Trout, his in and out is better than Trout's, he commits to his offense, so he is capable of beating Canelo as well. His conditioning has to come with it though, but it's not like Canelo is known for his conditioning either. Again, 154 isn't filled with killers the way people like to think.

The consensus seems to be that Cotto's resume IS better than Castillo's and Corrales'. I've even read by a Mayweather fan that his résumé is underrated. Cotto is one of the best of his era and will get into the HOF, which he fully deserves. He'll also be remembered as one of the best the island has ever produced. THE KING
