Who's greater Miguel Cotto or Juan Manuel Marquez and why?

[Street]

Easy. Marquez is the better fighter. He never took a knee like Kneeguel Cotto. He destroyed Pacquiao, something Cotto can only dream about. He took his loses like a real man, unlike Diva Cotto who ran off the ring all emotional claiming victories when everyone else didn't.

[..David..]

Big fan of Cotto but im also going with JMM on this one.

Im surprised no one mentioned that JMM also has Barrera in his record.

[Boxing56]

Marquez for sure.

He cried robbery after his every loss except Floyd. I like Marquez but let's keep it real.

JMM by far, different categories

[CatchAndShoot]

I'm biased, since 140 lb. Cotton my favorite fighter ever, besides Tyson, but if you say JMM, not mad at all. Both equal, IMO.

Margarito's hand wraps really detailed his career, so you can't truly say Cotto got a fair shake as far as his career goes. He could've been so so much better.

[A.K]

I mean Marquez has the most memorable ko since buster Douglas dropped Tyson, that alone puts him higher and I'm not a fan of neither.

I've always felt bad for JMM, he never got the big fights in his physical prime,

and he got the short stick on some decisions

He really didn't. When he was in line for Naz, he was the one that turned it down. Hel ost fair and square to John and he lost fair and square, twice to Pacquiao although the first fight was scored a darw because one of the judges did not score a knock down. It should have been Pac *****ing and moaning about that but instead it was JMM and his fanbase.

[soul_survivor]

Personally, Cotto has the superior career but JMM has THAT win.

Cotto for me, on top of being the better boxer too.

Unquestionably Marquez. Better skilled and a better resume.
