How good does Cotto's resume look now?

[Master]

His record says that he is the best Welterweight in the world right now.

[Julius Rain]

better than everyone else that fights at welterweight.

[Macho]

Well he was the best in JWW Division and now he is the best and the most BIGGEST THREAT in WW Div. .....What else?....

[Steelie]

I don't think it's stellar at all.

I think history will be kind to Miguel. A journeyman Judah and a Mosley in the autumn of his days are great names...but not neccessarily great wins.

Whilst I don't think the jury is out on Miguel anymore...he's still in need of a career defining fight isn't he?

I don't think it's as stellar at all.

I agree steelie, although Cotto's record is solid it is also misleading. He has never fought the #1 ranked guy in a division, nor has he dethroned a Ring champion.

He is indeed in waiting for a career defining fight

[Steelie]

I think he's being expertly managed, brilliantly, in fact.

that said, I can't say I'm massively exited by the prospect of Gomez or Mayorga.

Perhaps he's just biding his time whilst the Mayweather/De La Hoya merry-go-round runs it's course...who knows.................suffice to say he's arrived in a division at a time when it seems to have been almost hijacked by Floyd Mayweather.

I mean, there are big fights at 147 but somehow they just don't have the same lustre if Mayweather isn't involved. It's like the guys are fighting for 2nd place...and Miguels star won't shine as brightly as perhaps it should, till he gets his shot.

I think Cotto should push for the winner of Margarito/ Cintron instead of Mayorga. So in other words Margarito!

I really doubt Mayorga can make it down to 147 now without weakening himself.

[CutMeMick]

I know I'm gonna sound like a broken record here BUUUUT
I remember the days when people were saying Cotto wouldn't amount to anything....
Hes too robotical, hes 1 dimensional, he couldn't carry Zab Judahs jock strap etc. etc.

I remember this very clearly when I said "Cottos young and has a great mindset. He has room to improve and he will"
I was laughed I was told there was no way Cotto would improve. He fights 1 way and 1 way only. With fighters like Zab, Margarito, Spinks, Vernon, Mayorga etc. etc. he would never be able to improve....


I gotta say it feels great to have seen Cotto go from prospect, to contender, to World Champion and hopefully he can become an ATG.

Cottos one of my very 1st fighters I've seen go full circle and I'm proud to say I've been there from very early on. Kinda like some of you guys who saw Tyson from the start, or Lennox from day 1 or Eubank.

He's also yet to beat a champion for the titles he's won. But neither did Margarito and that didn't stop anyone from hyping him. I must say the victory against Quintana looks good now, and I stress now. Cotto still needs to fight the young up and comers before I pass judgement and once again I place the names Clottey and Margarito out there.

Margarito is a wild card imo. He may lose a fight here and there but he always seems to pull out something spectacular every now and again. I would love to see Cotto and Margarito fight each other. After he destroys Cintron again. That gives Cotto a title fight where he beats a legit champion, then there's pretty much no question whom he should fight next

I agree with most of what your saying... only thing for me is Floyd is the only legit champion at WW. The others are just contenders & trinket holders!

I would love to see Cotto in with either Margarito or Clottey next. The winner would create the ideal opponent for Mayweather.

Hi steelie , well with all respect , we know that PBF have a great resume theres no doubt on that , but in JWW PBF fought with the most better in that Division and he won them by UD and count like a great win, so Cotto fought with them too and won by KO , so in WW Div. he won Quintana by KO , Judah by KO and Mosley by UD .....Do you think that is not a great win?......at least for me have a better resume in WW than PBF......

Totally. A dominating dethroning of a champion #1 ranked opponent would be a career defining moment. I like the guy, I just can't see him beating Mayweather as much as I wish.

So what's next for Cotto at the moment? Winner of Margarito/Cintron?
