    some of these comments suddenly torres, quintana and malignaggi are world beaters Who did any of them guys beat? fact is cotto did absolutely nothing special in his career and got spanked time and time again in his big fights. youre not talking about competitive fights either, he lost badly to pacquiao, mayweather, canelo and margarito. theres plenty of fighters who did better against them guys than cotto did. pacquiao hasnt stopped anyone since but he had no problem stopping cotto

      Cotto had an excellent career and provided a ton of thrills. That's as much as one can ask of any fighter. He was good for the sport.

      Great fighter? Far from it. A damn good one. I don't count the Margarito loss so really the only guy who beat him near his best was Pacquaio. He's probably from 6-8 all-time on the Puerto Rican list because of his longevity and how he bounced back.

      Best 5 wins?

      Mosley, Clottey, Quintana, Martinez and Judah probably.

          All 3 of those guys won world titles! If they aren’t quality wins then I don’t know what is. Cotto has beaten 16 guys who won titles in his career. GGG has only beaten 4 that is horrible after 38 fights.

              Lost to mosley

              Was losing to judah until low blows. Who even considers Judah a great win on their resume? !

              Malignaggi?!?

              Are we starting to see a pattern here?
              He was getting beaten up pretty bad by that African dude wtf his name... Clottey totally didn't use boxrec, yeah Clottey was unlucky to not get the nod.

              I've been kinda harping on Cotto for some time, his resume is obviously not something that would make you think he would beat the best of the best back then, that's me putting it nicely.

                Cotto also beat 4 guys who were undefeated and went on to win world titles after losing to Cotto!
                Maussa
                Torres
                Malignaggi
                Quintana

                That’s quality right there!

                  GGG has not gave guys in his division a chance to take his belts (I don't mean ducking) unlike Cotto, handing his WBC to GGG and the constant losses
                  GGG is really 39-0
                  Losing your belt 3 times and failing in 3 world title bids, its better to not share your belts its better to dominate I know that's hard to grasp.

                      Going up divisions doesn't grant you any privilege, he went up the divisions that he choose to because he was struggling to make weight.
                      Wilder, Ali, Tyson, and many others never move through any divisions I guess you will criticize them for that as well
