Goodbye Cotto...

[imp]

What was his best win and his worst loss?

I felt the Cheater that took his first loss changed Cotto as a fighter and we will never know how much more of a great he would have been.

Losses against Floyd and PAC were justified but the catchweight would have mentally/physically affected Cotto in the PAC fight.

How would you define Cotto as a fighter?

Big Cotto fan at 140lb and wished he fought Hatton or Floyd at the weight.

Cotto did well at welterweight but was small for the higher weights when he re-invented himself. I did not like the way he avoided GGG and took the money fight against Canelo.

Cotto did great against Floyd and his fight against a peak Manny was an exciting fight to watch.

Cotto avenging his loss against Marg was great to watch.

Great memories.

The man put on some great fights and I will miss him. He had a shot against Floyd but he took the Middle rounds off and then it was too late. I just have nothing bad to say against cotto and he doesn't seem punch drunk in interviews I've seen

Good things:

He fought anybody and everybody. Except at 160 where he didn't belong.
He was exciting every time out. You knew you were in for an action-packed fight.
He knew to reinvent himself, and adapted well throughout his career.
He remained stoic and classy throughout.
He avenged his "loss" against the cheating scumbag.
He learned English to make himself more marketable.

I loved the fight with Ricardo Torres. Cotto showed a yard of guts in that fight.

I was a big Cotto fan back in the day. I never disliked him, but I stopped caring for him once he went up to 154 and become somewhat of a prima Donna. But before that, he fought everybody and beat them all. Definitely a legitimate HOF fighter. He will get in because he deserves it and not because it is so easy to get in.
