Honestly, Muguel Cotto

[johnm is...]

Everyone on here was like "even a 70% Sergio will ktfo Cotto"

After the fight: "Sergio was shot doe!"

idiots

Truth be told, that wasn't a 70% Sergio.

I think Cotto is great. But call a spade a spade. Sergio had zero movement in that fight. He's DONE. And it was apparent from the bell.

Really?

Ranking is not based on potential you daft ****.

Cotto beat the lineal middleweight champion for the title, for the ranking. It wasn't a non title, ten rounder, catch weight fight. It was for his title and championship spot. He beat the number 1 guy, who had been number 1 for a long time, and clearly so. That makes Cotto number 1, even though he would probably get annihilated by some of the younger, less shot (Sergio that is, not Cotto; he's not shot by any means), bigger guys.

If GGGhad beat him, he'd be number 1 too. If Murray had won, he'd be number 1 until his next fight.

Cotto is the champ at 160, but He's not the best fighter at 160

OK--who honestly believes miguel cotto is the best middleweight in the world? after having one impressive fight there? This is a joke. I;m not taking away from miguel cotto as a fighter, but he is NOT the best middleweight in the world. Top to bottom he is still a better welterweight...Sorry Fat dan

Is Miguel Cotto the best middleweight on the planet? That is debatable and GGG may have a thing or two to say about that.

However, the more pertinent question is: "Who is the number one ranked, lenial belt holder at 160lb?"

The answer to that is simple, that is indeed Cotto, the man who beat Martinez, who beat Pavlik, who beat Taylor, who beat Hopkins. There's no two ways around that.

cotto beat a gimp, hes not the best fighter at mw, martinez was shot to sh11t and miguel is also shot to sh11t, golovkin would demolish cotto and austin trout , lol, trout is a nobody and he humiliated cotto, only reason cotto has a paper title is he beat a nobody delvin rodriguez at mw and then he fought gimp martinez, trout cant beat golovkin , cotto cant either, cotto is getting sold by hbo as a real champ, lol, he got a paper title just like my boy-erik morales beating cano, cotto will lose it to any top fighter or avoided european fighter who gets no love on hbo , cotto sukks, real talk

good post.

[-DSG-]

this is how a fanboy talks and thinks.
somebody who actually knows what this fight was is a "keyboard warrior?"


a real fan recgnizes both that cotto is a great fighter, and htat his fight with martinez was a cherrypick. martinez was all done.

cotto didn't ifgh thim when he had anything left. martinez didn't fight cotto because he was the best MW challenger. had never even fought at MW, FFS.

they fought because it was a big money fight for martinez, and a winnable fight for cotto because martinez was all done.

Sorry but when your an underdog like cotto was it is not a cherry pick.
