How many of these lineal middleweight champs do you pick Cotto over?

[bojangles1987]

As of now I'm undecided but if Cotto fights Golovkin next year and loses to him, I think Cotto beats all of them tbh

HOF post.

Everyone knows Cotto's MW title is a travesty ,just cherry picked the weakest link for. Legacy,period

I'm sorry but NO. Cotto is the legitimate MW champion. Period, end of...

He's the champion, technically. Is he the best Middleweight? Hell no...not even close.

I think Cotto beats all of them at middleweight NOW, in the way I think he beats Basilio and Fullmer now, in the same way he beats Carlos Monzon now, in the way he beats Marvin Hagler now...

Cotto's all heart, but Sergio when he was at his best, which was
"pretty good," resembled an argentine Roy Jones. Hands all low, avoiding punches purely with foot movement and a little bending at the waist.
That, and he had a good chin with power and a showed lot of heart when he fought Cintron, Williams, Pavlik, Jr. Murray even Cotto.

Too much power from all of the listed fighters. Everyone of them get Cotto out of there by the middle rounds.

I think Monzon could still take him.

Only one he had a slight chance against was Taylor.

No shit Cotto loses to them, he's way past his prime. Why don't we make it hypothetical and say if Cotto was still in his prime like everyone else in the poll, then he'd at least have a chance.

Prime Cotto vs prime Martinez? I pick Cotto. But he'd probably lose to everyone else lol.

[Larry the boss]

None of the above

No one is saying he is a great Middleweight..he took a gamble and won the lottery...meaning he is in demand now....He just has to find the right person to sell his title too now and retire and have a great life

He would beat Martinez any time but the others were too big and strong and hit too hard for Cotto. Hopkins would beat him like taking candy from a baby. Cotto and Martinez will go down in history as poor middleweight champions. If Cotto was a good champion he would do what Martinez refused to do and fight GGG as soon as possible instead of possibly fighting 147 pounder Bradley or 154 pounder Canelo. Right now he is on a very long vacation fighting nobody. That is good for Cotto but bad for boxing and the middleweight division. It's time to defend your title, rich lazy boy Cotto. GGG will have fought 3 top 10 middleweights during your vacation you took after beating Martinez. That's why GGG and not Cotto is my real middleweight champ.
