Cotto Didn't lose his title to Trout. Trout defended his title against Cotto. WBC Middleweight title was not a cherry pick. Both Mayweather and Canelo were not willing to face any version of Martinez. Martinez cherry picked Cotto. Yuri Forman was a lineal title holder at 154, ranked #6 by ring, and was 1.5 to 1 underdog. And before you bring up his knee, let me remind you that Foreman had been fighting on a bad knee before the Cotto fight, he won the title on that bad knee. Pac one of the greatest of this generation, Mayweather one of the greatest of all time, Canelo 10 years younger and twice as large. The fact that you think losing to either of these guys is some how bad is ridiculous. I mean who else has beaten Mayweather? I also suggest that you do some research on the opponents that Cotto defended his titles against. Vacant titles have to be won by somebody, he worked his way to the #1 spot, why shouldn't he get a chance at the title? Either way, he made up for it by defending against the top fighters in those divisions. Guys that were top 10 ring rated - that means the very best in each division regardless of sanctioning body. He's fought 17 ring top 10 fighters. 7 p4p ranked fighters, ranked p4p himself for a few years. Won 6 major titles, successfully defended those titles 14 times. Fought in 5 different weight classes, won titles in 4. First Puerto Rican fighter to win titles in 4 weight classes. That's a resume that a vast majority of boxers (current, past, and future) won't even get close too.

Is that you Miguel?

give this nigga his meds

[GhostofDempsey]

I'd put him about even with Trinidad, but I have to rank Gomez, Ortiz and Benitez ahead of him.

[Verus]

Not even Angel is that delusional. Plus, Danny is an American.

All Puerto Ricans are Americans!

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Roach's opinion is shaky.

There's no chance of it. He has been a tremendous fighter and absolute credit to the sport but Puerto Rico's Mount Rushmore of Gomez, Ortiz, Trinidad, Benitez doesn't come close to being touched by anyone else.
