On paper he does have some good wins but do you really think that he has done enough to be in the top 5 p4p?

Are you all forgetting how badly he struggled with Torres and Corley? That isn't what a p4p fighter does. Ok Torres was vicious but come on.....who else has Torres beaten? A bunch of guys from Colombia.

De-Marcus Corley.....well let's not even go there.


Even in the Maliganaggi fight, Cotto was hurt and Malignaggi can't punch.

Judah and Shane are good wins but even them two are past it.

All hype i tell ya
Ono, come on. I am not one to say that Cotto would beat up Floyd, though I think he has as good a chance as any, but you are really talking some serious shite here.

Torres gave Cotto some tough rounds yes but Cotto was defenately not strugling to win that fight. And Corely? You've got to be kidding. He landed one good punch and pretty much got his a** kicked for the rest of the fight, which was not long. And if you want to compare Mayweather to Cotto, I don't think you should bring Corley into the discussion.

Judah ain't passed it, he just was'nt that good to begin with and even a passed it Mosely is better than most welterweights out there.

Asside from that, yes I agree some people overrate Cotto but he still is pretty damn good. I expect another big year for him, by the end of it he will eather be THE MAN at 147 (either by fighting PBF or by PBF retireing) or have his first loss.

Agreed with Rookie, he might not be on Floyd's level but who the hell is. Cotto's record stands up to just as much scrutiny as a few names in the p4p top 10, so he does have a legitimate shout to be in there.

Your main argument is that he struggled in two fights in his previous weight class, a few years ago now, well guess what, the guy considered no 2 in the world has K.O. losses from years ago at a previous weight class.

If someone were to say that Cotto is already a legendary fighter then that would be overrating him, but most of his fans rate him similar to where Rookiefan rates him which isn't unreasonable by any means.
