Here's a list of Cotto's opponents over 4 different divisions. It is very important to note that this list consists of top 10 "Ring" rated fighters. Not to be confused with sanctioning ratings. These opponents were at the time, considered the top fighters in they're respective divisions. It's also important to remember that the competition at Jr. Welterweight, and Welterweight at that time, was far superior to most of today's divisions.

2003
Carlos Maussa, would later be ranked #6
2004
Lovemore NDou, ranked #8

Demarcus Corley, ranked #9. Ranked as high as #3. Ranked among the top 10 Jr Welterweights for 6 years straight.

He has alway fought top competition. He fought Pac at catch weight when he was already having trouble at making 147. Fought Margarita when others where to afraid. He has always fought top of his division regardless of the odds. The only person he didn't fight that was a top name in his era was Oscar.
I don't know why so many people dislike him but he has always been a warroir. Always gives a good fight except maybe one and tgat was against Trout where it looked like he gave up.
So again, what is wrong with Cotto?
