Can Cotto Be As Good As Felix Trinidad Was ??

[eagle]

Cotto has proven that he's a far better fighter than Tito...

Based on what?

Cotto COULD eventually prove to be the better fighter. I don't see how anyone could say he's clearly better yet.

I think that he's far more dynamic than Tito ever was.

Based on performances against Judah & Mosley to only name a couple of players.

More dynamic than Tito's performances at 147, his fight with Vargas at 154, and his destruction of Joppy at 160?

As I said before...I think that Cotto's far more superior at this moment...& Cotto's still improving & far from his peak.

Cotto has only just arrived at 147...so as I stated...at this moment...I consider him to be the better boxer based on what he's already done. Yes.

Haven't see him at either one of those weights...unless you factor in what he undiciplinly weighed against Corley.

I honestly don't believe that Cotto would be really effective at 160lbs...but neither was Tito.

I just think that Cotto's a hell of a lot more well rounded & if he get's in with a skilled boxer, like he did with Mosley, he won't get pressed like a pair of cotton slacks as Trinidad did against Wright...who owned him with a jab & the same 1-2 combo all night long. Nor do I feel that he will buckled under the pressure like a belt as he did against Hopkins.

Cotto has been thrown in with some speedy skilled boxers & has surprised even his most debdicated fans...as I am proud to admit.

While it may be hard for you to see what I am trying to get at...it's just under the surface...one that Cotto has yet to even scratch...but it's there. Plain to see.

Cotto can, has, & will be great.

OK, it's probably best that we agree to disagree. Because while I'll agree that Cotto has the potential to get better (and be better than Tito), I just do not see how he can, at his point in his career, already be considered a better fighter than someone (Tito) who will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

He doesn't mean he has accomplished more than Tito he means, he think's Cotto has more arrange of skills than Tito had, And he is less 1 dimensional.

And that's a highly debateable a point.

Regardless, in his original post, he said Cotto was "better." When you say someone is better, then you're talking about accomplishment, in one way or another.

Do you think Zab Judah and a 36 year old Mosley would have fared better against a prime 147 pound Tito than they did against a prime 147 pound Cotto? I don't.

He wasn't though, he never said he thought Cotto has achieved more than Tito. He was basically saying Cotto has more of a arrange of skills than Tito has.

Well then I would be interested to see his answer to the question I posed before:
Do you think Zab Judah and a 36 year old Mosley would have fared better against a prime 147 pound Tito than they did against a prime 147 pound Cotto?

Because if Cotto is better and has a wider array of skills, then the answer should be Yes. I say no.

I agree with u mate. Prime Trinidad would destroy judah within 5, and beat a 36 yr old mosely much easier than Cotto. Not very often Wacko is wrong, but in his own words i think he is looking thru rose coloured glasses at Cotto.
Prime trinidad at 147 would ko Cotto imo.
