The Man

Cotto has never been The Man in any division he was in.

Cotto was at 140 2001-2006. The Man at 140 was Kostya Tszyu, later Ricky Hatton. Cotto was never even ranked the 2nd best guy at 140 during those years.

Cotto was at 147 2006-2009. The Man at 147 at the time was Floyd Mayweather. When Floyd retired briefly, Cotto had the chance to be The Man when he fought Margarito as the Top 2 ranked in the division. Cotto lost.

Cotto also won a paper belt at 154. Was he ever The Man at 154? His wins at 154 were Yuri Foreman, washed up Ricardo Mayorga, one eyed Antonio Margarito and Delvin Rodriguez. He couldn't even beat Austin Trout.

Now he's champ at 160. Do you honestly think he's the best middleweight? He doesn't even want to fight middleweights.

:wank: Cotto was at 140 2001-2006. The Man at 140 was Kostya Tszyu..

Your full of *****...Cotto fought in the 2000 Olympics.....Kostya Tszyu fought in a different era and he would've put Ricky Fatton in his back pocket..

All facts unfortunately. I also agree with the poster who said it's not about the belts but who you beat to get them, I mean Adrian ****ing Broner is a three division champion.

The Myth

Miguel Cotto fights everyone. A warrior who fought everyone.

Really?

Miguel Cotto has had one of the most "PROMOTER CREATED" careers in boxing.

Top Rank matchmakers had to work overtime to get him his belts.

His 1st 3 belts were all vacant titles.

He won the vacant WBO 140 belt fighting Kelson Pinto.
He won the vacant WBC 147 belt fighting Carlos Quintana.
He won the vacant WBO 147 belt fighting Michael Jennings.
The 1st time he won a belt from a "CHAMPION" was cherrypicking Yuri Foreman.

Cotto never tried to unify and fight another "CHAMPION".

People thought Cotto was fighting everyone because he fought Zab Judah, Shane Mosley, Antonio Margarito 2007-2008.

Judah hadn't won in 2 years when Cotto fought him. Winless in his 3 previous fights.

Mosley was 36 yrs. old and people thought he was washed up after going 1W-4L-1NC 2002-2004.

Margarito had just lost the previous year to Paul Williams and let's be honest Cotto and handlers thought Margarito was too slow and unskilled.

Damn thats a hell of a breakdown & this post singlehandedly lowered my respect for Cotto.
