Miguel Cotto

[Sun_Tzu]

Miguel Cotto has had a solid Hall of Fame career. He's a four time multiple division titleholder and an undisputed (lineal) Middleweight champion.with a resume that is second to none.

In addition, he gave Money Mayweather one of the toughest fights of his career. Floyd even commented that Cotto was his toughest opponent and the hardest puncher he had ever faced.

What most of his detractors would point to is that he makes diva demands. For instance, after years of avoiding Sergio Martinez, he decided to fight him, once it was apparent that he was no longer at his physical peak and a mere shell of his former self.

Also, instead of fighting Canelo Alvarez at the full 160 lb limit, he decided to fight him at a catch weight of 155lb instead. Stating that he was a small MW.

Likewise, when GGG became his mandatory, he ducked him. By saving face, he disputed the amount of the WBC's sanctioning fees, he had originally agreed to pay and was subsequently stripped of the title. Which was a tell tale sign that he was vacating the division either win or lose.

Overall though; He is a good fighter, champion and legend. He is one of the finest boxers, that the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, has ever produced and one who should make that Island very proud

Killed it, dead on and I read that in a Scottish accent. Not sure why

I'm terrified.

Nah, your not terrified. You have been shut down by the very book you mentioned . Like I said read it, it will change your life. After youve read it you might be equipped to *** with me.

And lets be honest, the only reason your not terrified is because I dont know where you are or care to get my hands on you.

I think he was an excellent fighter but i think the last few years of his career and him being "back to his best" with Roach have been a bit of an illusion. He's the same fighter that lost to Trout but he had been well matched and got a fight with Martinez. We all know Martinez was finished and disabled when Cotto won that fight and he dined out on that win like he beat prime great champion, it would be celebrating because you knocked out Stephen Hawking.

Aside from that, he's had a great career and been in some great fights and never ducked anybody. I think his last real good performance was against Floyd and Floyd was showing real signs of ageing in that fight. You could see both guys were really slowing down actually.

Cotto might come back and beat some OK opposition but i think he'll lose to any top fighter now.

I hope he doesn't continue and starts getting beat off guys that couldn't lace his boots at one point.

People hate him because of the hype he had when he was coming up.

People love to see fighters downfall.

Fact is, hate him or love him Cotto was one of the top fighters of this era.

He's an easy pick for HOF and one of the best boxers of PR's history, but would hesitate to refer to him as an ATG. I mean I wouldn't be mad if others do but whether his resume warrants that label is up for some debate imo.

Best wins are over Mosley, Judah, Martinez, Margarito II, Clottey, Malignaggi. Of the rest there are recognizable names to me that strike me as less impressive wins - Ndou, Quintana, Chop Chop and some others. Losses are primarily to top P4P fighters. Nothing to scoff at for sure but ATG? I'm not sure.

He's definitely not an ATG.
