Freddie Roach's Claim on Miguel Cotto

[baya]

These men are all better than Cotto;
Wilfredo Gomez
Carlos Ortiz
Trinidad
Pedro Montanez
Wilfredo Vasquez
Hector Camacho
Jose Torres

Cotto is a good fighter but he is not an elite boxer by any means. What top twenty weight class is he in?
He did well against Shane & Zab but was shut out by the current era's elite. (Floyd & Manny) He beat Sergio who was a shell of his best.
Nice little fighter but he is not an ATG.
Freddie Roach did a great job reviving Cotto and deserves
applause for his work.

Appears Cotto vs. Trinidad Sr. feud broke out after Sr. claimed his son was like the guiding force that exploded Puerto Rican boxing.

Roach is wrong. Trinidad for one was better but there have been others who were superior to Cotto.

And Felix Sr is wrong too if he thinks Tito started some boom for Puerto Rican boxers. He's forgetting the guys who paved the way for his son...Hector Camacho for example was a superstar who flashed very brightly for a time.

Fully agree on Camacho.

I guess Puerto Rico beats Rhode Island in most divisions after all.

Cotto was born in Rhode Island.
