Tito was a big star way before cotto.. and the competition around at his time was great..
I like tito for different reasons then i can appreciate cotto for..
And i believe cotto has shown more weakness at this stage of his career then tito did at that point..
If Cotto beats Mayweather or Mosley then maybe?
I wouldn't say way to early. After his next 2 fights (Urkal and especially Judah) we'll see where he stands. If he wins both of these fights in convincing fashion, I beleive he has a strong possibility of beating PBF. Unfortunately, it's a moot point however as PBF wants to retire after the DLH fight. Sad really...IF PBF retires after the DLH fight and Cotto wins his next 2, there will be alot of questions marks hanging over PBF's greatness (as if there isn't enough of "????" over PBF's so called legendary status as is)Quote:

Lol.. If he is to beat both urkal and judah..Which is highly likely.. Those two fights do not stand with the fights that trinidad has had..Quote:

Tito has had all the mega fights he could have had... Whittaker, de la hoya , and undefeated david reid and undefeated fernando vargas won titles in three weight classes.. And the names above stand up there with mayweather and miguel has not yet faced mayweather yet..
i can't say that just yet.
tito gave oscar his first loss.( no matter what you think Tito got the win that night and says alot) he also beat vargas, mayorga, oba carr and joppy.
the best fighter cotto has fought off the top of my head is chop chop.
Not now.
Tito fought some of the best fighters of his time. Cotto is well on his way, but hes not there just yet.....
I will say I think Cotto can very well catapult himself into the best Puerto Rican fighter of all time.....
tito was down quite alot in his early career he showed quite few weaknesses just as much as cotto but to answer duke its too early too say but he very well could beQuote:

You mentioned Joppy, which some people forget to mention from Tito's resume. While I enjoyed Tito's KO of Vargas the most, I thought his coming up to 160 and KO'ing Joppy in his first fight at MW was an astounding feat. Some may dismiss Joppy, but he was a middleweight champ. I had seen Joppy in previous fights and had been pretty impressed.Quote:

And had Tito stayed in training for the whole time when he was preparing for Hopkins he would have stood a better chance at winning.
Miguel Cotto doesn't have the size of Trinidad but Cotto will be able fight up to 154.....maybe 160
i wasn't trying to get into a debate on who won the fight. the point was he's face top opposition and cotto hasn'tQuote:
