Is Cotto Overrated?

^^^^^^This

It's ridiculous man. Look at their fights from 2004-07, they both has huge fights in that time. These guys make no sense and have zero objectivity.

Which really isn't that great

It was a great win, what are you talking about? You're obviously a newcomer into boxing, Mosley 8 years ago was a P4P top 10 fighter.

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.

I don't consider Calzahge a loss because Hopkins got robbed.

I referenced those fights as proof that they're of the same era, I'm not speaking of who was better at that time.

Depends on what you see as overrated, I personally don't think he is. Not many who would beat him from 54-60.

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 started fighting 13 years before Cotto turned pro. Is De La Hoya of Cotto's era? Roy Jones Jr.? Tito Trinidad? What do you define eras by?

Pavlik win isn't particularly special in hindsight. And what has Pascal done since the Hopkins loss, other than become a soon to be plank against Kovalev.

Could make your own argument instead of just piggybacking off his.

Not overrated but not leaving a great mark to the end of a HOF career with his respect to the MW title as of late.

Yes but his best fights, win or lose, are at the same time frame as cottos. Do you not see how utterly ridiculous what you're saying is? It's ok to be wrong, the world won't end.

Oh, so Floyd didn't actually beat Castillo then, you're coming around.
