? Bojado beat him in the amateurs already. Bojado would outbox Cotto easily. Thats if of course he gets back on track.

Bojado immediately came to mind when I read the title of this thread also.

I remember this guy named Tokunbo Olajide who I thought would make noise at 54. Guess not.

if you've seen alot of Bojado's fights, even all his earlier fights, its clear and easy to see that he is much more skilled than Cotto. He wont beat him now but if he comes back and focuses and dedicates himself he would easily beat Cotto.

Sorry but Abdulaev was better than Bojado, seems like he even beat Cotto in the Olympics (maybe not, I don't remember who he beat right now, so I'm likely wrong on that), but Abdulaev got beat up and quit against Cotto. I like Bojado but I never see him really beating Cotto. Don't see him quitting either.

Edit: Abdulaev was the one that beat Cotto, thought so:

As amateurs, Abdulaev eliminated Cotto from the first round of the 2000,Sydney Olympics. - wikipedia

Bojado has to be the biggest waste of talent seen in a while.

Kid had all the tools except a mind of his own. He had hand speed, power, technique, balance, and sound defence. He just needed to be able to say ok I got this guy ill put em away not wait and wait and wait for his trainer to tell him to do it.

Easily hands down David Reid. He should've been right up there with Mosley, DLH, etc. Of course, he was determined to fight Trinidad way way too early and his ****** promoters allowed him to do so. Trinidad was like 36-0 and Reid was like 13-0, 14-0. It'd be like Andre Berto today fighting Mayweather.

Remember, Reid was looking terrable at times against ordinary fighters. He was having a tough time with not opponets he was supposed to have no problems with. More or less of the same way Andre Wards career is going/or was going- only Reid was better then Ward. But imo,they rused him cause they were afraid he would lose his next fight, regardless of opponet.

and then he tried to make a come back but nothing came of it. He was old and spend like 16 years in the pen

You are wrong. He could have fought for a title but didn't, instead he wanted to keep fighting and earning his title shot. He made a lot of money in his comback which was succesfull -imo-untill he ran into Ramon "Yori Boy" Campas and he was beating up Campas and Campas was taking it and dishing it out later on in the fight on even terms, then Ayala broke his hand and the fight was stopped. I remember for one fight Ayala made somthing like 600 hundred thousand dollars. He was still a star in the boxing world and in the city/state that he is from. For a fighter that was out of boxing for more then 14 years he had one succesfull comback, had he not gotten in trouble with the law again, he may have continued boxing and surly gotten a title shot.
