    Already a lock for HOF imo but beating THE MAN at 160 would make him a certified ATG.

      beating martinez in 2014 definitely won't make miguel cotto an ATG.

        way to try to change history, you really are pathetic lol

        cotto, "lets make this fair, you are a 140 fighter, lets fight at 145"

        pac, "ok"

        turn to 2013

        floyd- "I fight guys at their best weight and will defend by 147 or 154 belt against anyone"

        canelo "I challenge you for your 154 belt"

        floyd, "you said in 2010, you think you can barely make 152 but want me, the fight now happens at 152 in 2014"

        canelo " cement your legacy and fight me at my best at 154"

        FLOYD "152 or not fight" (later admits it was done to drain canelo in showtime as does his dad)

        boxing world ".............."

        you floy stans have nothing to stand on, constant ducking and hypocrisy has reduced you tards to make up history, so pathetic but I can understand why you would sink so low.

          If you think he beat Martinez than you need you head examined

            Why not? Until proven otherwise, Martinez is the best middleweight on the planet. If Cotto, a man standing at 5'7'', who started his career at 140 and is considered a small light-middleweight, was to beat the best middleweight champion since Hopkins and man, who in far fewer defences has already got a resume almost on par with the great Bhop, would definitely be considered an ATG.

            Why wouldn't he be?

              Cotto belongs in the BHOF with his current resume. After his victory over Sergio he will solidify his legacy. Haters will not give him credit on a victory over Martinez, yet, their blood will boil with envy!

              War Cotto! Future HOF'er!

                His resume and accomplishments as is are enough to get him into the HOF, easily. It's a no brainer really. A win over Martinez just solidifies him as one of the greatest of our generation, and of course, up there with Trinidad in PR boxing history.

                    If he wins, he deserves to IMO.

                    If he loses, unfortunately he still makes it. The IBHOF isn't very prestigious and doesn't have high standards at all. Popularity and a mediocre resume gets you in, which is what Cotto has. His best wins IMO are Malignaggi, Judah and Quintana. I thought Clottey beat him and the Mosley fight was a draw.

                    Doesn't matter that he fought Margarito, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Trout, they all beat him.

                    If Cotto loses to Martinez but still makes it, Vargas should get in too. Vargas losing to Trinidad, Mosley, Mayorga, and De La Hoya but controversially beating Winky and beating Ike Quartey, Campas, Rivera and Raul Marquez beats Cotto's resume, should Cotto lose to Martinez.
