          Bradley belongs, great fighter. Has only lost to one of the best of all time. No shame in that. And consider the fact he's the first person too even moderately challenge Manny in what seemed like forever.

            No. Losing to Trout looks very bad. If you talk "top 5" every little thing is examined under the microscope

              Miguel Cotto is a HOFer but not a top tier one. Maybe Cotto cracks top 10 since 2000 but not top 5 IMO.

              I rank Floyd, Manny, Hopkins, Wlad, Marquez, Andre Ward, Winky Wright, Nonito Donaire ahead of Cotto in terms of accomplishments and meaningful wins.

                Top five fighter no top 15 yeah sure definitely. He's definitely one of the top 5 stars in the last 10 years. Everyone knows of cotto and he has a great resume losses included but those losses keep him from being top five. He just can't stay consistent at the top top level. But he's really good👍🏽

                  Not top 5 but there may be an argument for top 10.

                    Top 15 maybe. Cotto wouldn't even make the top 10.

                    A lot of great fighters accomplished more since 2000.

                      There were some key fights he lost, which could have given him a nice argument as top 5. Margarito 1, Trout, Canelo. He had to win those fights. Losing to two ATG's in Mayweather and Pacquiao is no shame, but losing to Margarito and Trout in his prime, two non HOF'ers, non ATG's, it doesn't seem like they will end up being anyone of note in history, that killed his chances. He maybe cracks top 15 from 2006-2016. From 2005 to present though, definitely top 5 most popular, one of the best fighters in attracting fans to the sport during that period. He should at least get credit for that.
