      I think he might be a bit over rated by some of his fans but he might be underrated by myself and others. He is very good and going to the hall of fame for sure and many will rate him an all time great. I thought Margarito knocked him out with legal wraps and Canelo will knock him out if they fight. Cotto has some very impressive wins including his KO of Martinez.

        Wlad
        Hopkins


        I can keep going if you like.
        Floyd, Pac, and perhaps Ward yes. I don't consider Hopkins of this era because he started fighting so long before Cotto and accomplished a lot of his career before Cotto started even fighting professionally. Wlad has the lineal HW title defended a relatively ordinary level of challenger for the most part.

            Mosley is his best win.

              This is exactly what I'm talking about, a terrible argument made by a delusional fan. Hopkins was beating kelly Pavlik around the ring when cotto was getting his brain scrambled by margarito and PAC. He was beating jean pascal while cotto was losing to Austin trout. How are they not of the same era?

                    He also lost to Chad Dawson and Joe Calzaghe, so they lost the same amount of times and I think Cotto's losses were "better" considering they were against ATG's. Joe isn't that and Dawson isn't even in the top 50 of his era.
