if only cotto was the best fighter

[Larry the boss]

Right? The way Mayweather dominated him clearly proved he was a 2nd tier WW. Floyd really outdid himself that night. Money May at his best.

Cotto tried his best in that fight...and still lost 9 rounds to 3 and almost got dropped in the 12th.....no shame in that at all but is that his claim to fame???

3 out of 4 of those titles were vacant tiles man...and the 1 title he won from a champion was from Yuri Foreman.....like i said he may get into the hall of fame and if he is 1st ballot i wouldnt be made..but he is not a lock imo...and no the names you listed are not spell bounding at all, his losses are better then his wins..kinda like Oscar

Those wins are better than Gatti's and he got in on the first ballot. Are you arguing whether he deserves it or whether he's actually going to get in on the 1st ballot?

Mosley, Quintana, Malignaggi, Judah, Urkal, Gomez, Clottey, Foreman, and Margarito aren't enough? He's a 4 time, 3 division champion in an era where granted they don't mean as much as they used to, but that goes for fighters with titles to a degree.

He doesn't need the lineal MW title to be a first ballot HOF. That's more than secure. I'd bet my account he goes in on his first ballot.

Most of those aren't good wins, Urkal? Gomez? Foreman? Margarito? None of those wins are meaningful.

Judah, Clottey and Malignaggi aren't particularly wins either.

You should read the conversation before you post on it . That's not what we're talking about.

Didn't Gatti just get in? His resume is better than Gatti's. Are we arguing if he's deserving or actually getting in? Two different debates.

Gatti got in 1st ballot cause he died man....simple as that...but will Cotto get in 1st ballot...yea most likely...should he???? hey thats up to the voters

I don't care about the hall of fame its just a comedy act these days, my issue is that you noted meaningless wins as if they mean something.

Read the thread idiot it says "if" he was the best. Cotto's praise comes from him fighting the best and willing to fight the best. Not cherry pick, retire, and come back with excuses on how to avoid others. Cotto is the type of fighter boxing needs. If only all fighters were willing to face the best in their prime like he did and continues fighting the best.

[IronDanHamza]

Right? Asking the #1 P4P fighter in the world to fight the best at his weight? How dare us.

Why are we pretending that Jr MW is Mayweather's weight?

I like Cotto but lets be real, Cotto only fighting Martinez now because he think Martinez is done for. Cotto would never fight a Lara and this coming from a Cotto fan. I mean Cotto didnt even want to fight Floyd in his prime. Cotto wasn't ready after he saw his boy bruseles get beat down. Don't believe me go watch the fight yourself

Sergio is decling but hasn't lost in a while. Manny us decling and was ktfo a lil while ago. Guess what Cotto is still moving up to fight Sergio while Floyd is still making excuses to not fight Floyd. That's the difference.

Correct me if i am wrong..but didnt manny and floyd both beat cotto and take his title belt???whats cottos best win???Shane??didnt manny and floyd also beat him as well and much better??? Cotto is forced to do what he is trying to do..he is at the end of his career and wants to cash out...nothing wrong with that at all..but lets not act like he is some king here...dude is 1-2 in his last 3 fights,has no title and is still acting like a damn diva

So since Floyd economically doesn't have to fight PAC, it's ok to u ??? Such a great fan u are.
