People have been saying this since he lost to Margarito and he's now lineal MW champion of the world. See below.
Cotto is overrated and done

yes i have to agree. he really hasn't beaten a top guy(who could walk) since clottey and even that fight i had clottey winning although it was razor close. very good fighter but it just goes to show that hype and popularity can get a fighter very far. his last 4 fights he gave floyd a good fight but even maidana tested floyd more, lost to trout, destroyed a journeyman rodriguez, and beat a guy who shouldn't have been in the ring as sergio says "I take it in stride. I am still having trouble walking. When my knee warms up, I start to hobble."Last edited by daggum; 04-09-2015, 03:20 PM.Comment

Titles at 140, 147, 154, 160
Has a lot a very solid wins, but not a lot of great career defining ones, in fact probably lacking a career defining win but shane, zab, serg will probably be considered his best win..
People act like the serg fight was a fluke because serg was shot, but a lot were proclaiming cotto ruined after manny destroyed, and then again when trout beat him. Cotto has been written off many times but has bounced back..
He is a legit first ballot hall of famer, but not an ATG...
Golovkin destroys him, but I think cotto-canelo is pretty dead even.. Cotto will be the best boxer-puncher canelo has ever faced, and cotto has looked very sharp under roach..
Decades from now people will look back and see the names in cotto's win column and he will get a lot of praise..Comment

He has been a poor middleweight champion. He won the title from Martinez in early June of last year and will make his first title defense in early June of this year. A champion who only defends his title once a year is a poor champion. It's unfair to worthy challengers who deserve a chance to win the title. A good champion should defend his title 2 or 3 times a year against high ranked contenders. If Cotto defends his title against a fighter who is not a top 10 world ranked middleweight or make the weight limit below 160 that makes him even a worse champion.Comment

You lack of names is so telling. It's like when a cop pulls someone over who knows they were doing something wrong and the cop asks "How fast were you going?" When you're reply is "How fast was I going" it's a stall tactic so you can figure out some better bull**** to say. If your statement had any truth you would have named people and ended it, instead you had to duck and dodge like a mofo lol.Comment
