I knew it..It's theses NON boxing mother***ers who always got something ****** to say without even knowing WTF there talking about..I've realize
that 80% of all Cotto haters ON nsb are from Europe and the other 20% are Mexican..

If Cotto was mexican or british forget about it, they would love him.

Not a Cotto fan never have been but he gets respect for going up to 159to challenge the lineal MW champ.

Question how the fawk is Arturo Gatti a HOFer but Cotto isn't? Wtf did Gatti do that Cotto didn't?

[Chuckguy]

Yeah
Mak u ****ed up the thread without saying a word ha!

[El Angel]

ATG thread. He is so underappreciated. He will be missed when he is gone. Especially by me.

He retired for one. You have to have 5 years after your last fight to be on the ballot.

The question will always be asked, why couldn't he win a Ring/Lineal title in any weight class?

Cotto lost his biggest fights...Margarito 1*, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Trout, Martinez(? - We'll see). His best wins, Mosley and Clottey were questionable decisions, especially the Clottey one. The Mosley one could have gone either way, but I preferred that fight to be scored a Draw. His absolute best wins, with no controversy are Malignaggi, Quintana, Judah, Torres, Corley, Foreman, Bailey, not exactly a murderers row.

With that said, the Gatti/Mcguigan effect comes into play. If they can make it, any one can. In that case, Cotto should make it as well. The IBHOF didn't do boxing any favors when it inducted Gatti into HOF, now almost any semi popular boxer should get in. Canelo, Broner, Bradley, Maidana, Khan, etc. Lots of HOF worthy fighters now after Gatti entered.

I disputed all your points about Mosley and Clottey fight in my first and second post. So what your saying is that we shouldn't give credit to the fighters after every close fight? Look at all the close fights that involved ATG fighters in the history of boxing.

To me winning a lineal title is overrated because it doesn't tell you the whole truth. Baldomir won the lineal title just by beating Judah. JMM won the lineal title at lightweight by beating Casamayor, after Casamayor received a gift and won by robbery in his fight against Santa Cruz. Hamed was the lineal champion at featherweight and he didn't fought Morales, Marquez, Pacquiao and when he fought Barrera he got dominated. Recently Stevenson won the lineal title by beating Dawson, after Dawson got destroyed by Ward and he hasn't fought any of the other top guys in the division like Hopkins and Kovalkev. Zab Judah won a lineal title. Ricky Hatton won a lineal title. Did they better careers than Miguel Cotto?

So basically a fighter can beat what is considered the #1 guy of a divison and avoid the rest of the top fighters and be called the top dog. Is that a real champion?

Yo say the Gatti effect comes into play, it's not just Gatti you can mention a bunch of other guys like Tyson, Pryor, etc. You don't hear anybody going crazy about their selections.
