4) Cotto has only one a-list fighter on his resume (a 36 year-old Shane Mosely - who gave him plenty of trouble) while Mayweather has at least 6.

5) Cotto is a decent fighter, and I like him and think he is still improving. But:-


He is not in Floyd's league. Nobody else is either, it's nothing to ashamed of, but at the moment Floyd is the best fighter in the world by a street and anybody fighting him is going to get the same type of treatment that Ricky got on the weekend.

3) Cotto went life or death with Lovemore N'dou and Ricardo Torres, while Chop Chop staggered him.

These fights were all at Jr Welterweight, Cotto is alot better at Welterweight. I don't think he went life a death with Torres except for the 2nd round he was pretty much always in control.

Ndou fight was tough but he was still a clear cut winner, he was never rocked or badly hurt.

Corley has staggered alot of people including Floyd Mayweather Jr, the important thing was how he reacted, and he reacted well and comeback thats what a champion does.

Cotto is not as good as you are making out.

Disagree here alot of people think Cotto is 1 dimensional when he isn't. He can fight on the back foot and counter while using good footwork. He can use the jab to penetrate through the guard and close the distance between himself and the opponent like he did vs Judah. And of course he can have a good tear up


I think when Grieg said that Cotto was not as good as u are making he was talking to the guys who say he would beat PBF easily.
