Is Cotto Overrated?

[nivek535]

dunno, but he better fight a legit 160 or a big 154 to win a fan back.

[sugarsmosley]

great fighter, but needs to cut the crap and drop back down to 154

If he actually has the balls to fight GGG, Cotto becomes my favorite fighter.

Not going to happen.

He's arguing that Hopkins is a fighter of Cotto's era. Era is a period of time. For some reason, when you rate Hopkins in this era, you include all his wins from years' past, even though he started fighting 13 years before Cotto so he's going to have an obvious advantage in regard to how many more opponents he could have fought.

Just like ranking Muhammad Ali in Holmes era essentially. He's arguing that because Hopkins had big fights when Cotto had big fights they are from some era, so since Ali had big fights with Holmes and Berbick then, he's from that era. Then we include all Ali's earlier wins, he's the greatest fighter of Holmes era. See the problem here?

El Blanco, name more that are better than the KING from this era. You said you had plenty more. Shoot.

I meant it as in elaborate and list his best wins and accomplishments that make him that great for you. Same went for people who disagree and think he is overrated, but most people are too caught up on insults to do that.


I must admit this is a lot more contested than I thought it would be voting wise, but not many good arguments for or against have been made with posts throughout the thread.

Instead of saying he shouldn't be, who is? Provide some substance to back up your bull****.

not that any is needed, but cotto isn't better than pacman, mayweather, marquez rigondeaux, golovkin, Hopkins, prime margarito, de la hoya and I could go on.

A few of those heroes on that list are suspect as hell when it comes to PEDs. Margarito?? Ahahahahahaha!

You lost all credibility when you said prime margarito.

[Weltschmerz]

Of course not.
