Cotto is not a MW Champ

[VG_Addict]

He's not even a MW fighter.

I think the criteria should be crystal clear. To be considered the MW champ, or even a MW fighter, you should have to fight AT LEAST ONCE AT MIDDLEWEIGHT, not some lame catch weight. SRR didn't fight Jake Lamotta at 157 or 159.

Cotto is a great fighter but lets be honest, he saw an old, injury-riddled champ that was at the absolute end of his rope and ripe for the picking. That's Freddie's specialty (as he did with Pac/DLH).

As fans we need to tell these prima-donna sissies (Floyd, Pac, Cotto, ect) that catch weights are for fruits and we'll have none of it.

There are plenty of fighters who moved up to a weight they've never fought at to fight the champion. Stevenson never had a fight at LHW before he fought Dawson.

And like it or not, Cotto is the man who beat the man (Martinez) who beat the man (Pavlik).
