Far from a journeyman a respectable fighter who should get into the hall of fame...but his resume is overrated to be honest..he seems to get credit for his losses and 3 out of his 5 titles were vacant titles and the other 2 were from handicapped fighters..but he is a damn good fighter just not a great one
Where does Cotto rank amongst your most over hyped boxers?

What credit does he get for a loss? It's on Margarito for the cheating speculation and Manny for asking for the catchweight. Knowing this is you, I assume you're referring to the credit he got for giving Floyd a tough fight, which I'm sure you didn't see as closeFar from a journeyman a respectable fighter who should get into the hall of fame...but his resume is overrated to be honest..he seems to get credit for his losses and 3 out of his 5 titles were vacant titles and the other 2 were from handicapped fighters..but he is a damn good fighter just not a great one
He gave Floyd more trouble with his defense than anyone has in years and it's constantly ignored.
Martinez got dropped cold and never looked the same. Foreman was getting soundly beaten before his knee gave on him.
He is a legitimate great fighter and the lineage he claimed at MW confirms that.
Cotto beats Trout relatively wide on the cards, maybe 8-4 or 9-3 now.Comment

No all i was saying is he gets credit for taking tough fights and losing....i do give him credit for taking those good fights..and yes he gave Floyd a damn good fight much closer then the score cards say it was...but Foreman and Martinez both were injured BEFORE the fight and that is a fact man..but they signed the contract so that is on themWhat credit does he get for a loss?

And lol at these excuses, that 1 pound less he came in as compared to his last 4-5 fights didn't do sheit... just more excuses from these gay ass emotional delusional Cotto fans.Comment

Ah misunderstood you Larry. But Foreman has had that injury for years before the Cotto fight and had opted for no surgery. I know Sergio wasn't 100% that night, but that amount of people that said even "60% Sergio KO's Cotto" was ridiculous and disrespectful.No all i was saying is he gets credit for taking tough fights and losing....i do give him credit for taking those good fights..and yes he gave Floyd a damn good fight much closer then the score cards say it was...but Foreman and Martinez both were injured BEFORE the fight and that is a fact man..but they signed the contract so that is on them
If he beats Canelo, would that change how you rank him as "a very good, but not great" fighter?
I have no excuse for MP kicking his ass. He lost to the better fighter. I just hate how Pacquiao fans act like the CW was done to adjust Manny to WW and not to drain Cotto
And if you seriously had Trout winning 10 rounds, boxing is not the sport for you.Comment

IMO Cotto's skills aren't the best out there, but his heart is one of the bigger ones. He has to work to win fights, so I respect him highly.
Even though people get on Miguel for taking a knee in Margs 1, that was one of the most action/drama fights I have ever seen!Comment

Worst thread I've seen in awhile. Cotto has fought everyone out there and has four losses, ya real journeyman. He beat all these guys in their prime.
Bailey
Torres
Paulie
Mosley
Corley
Judah
Sosa
Bronco
Quintana
Clottey
He's everything that's right with boxing, fighting all the top challengers. And yet your dumb ass wants to criticize him because you don't like his fans or because he's Puerto Rican. GTFOH. ******est thread.Comment
