Mayweather was moving up in weight to fight oscar at a weight class he has never fought at before and comfortably beat oscar on points there is a difference plus i would say Corrales will be HOF and i think genaro hernandez is not far off hall of fame and neither is castillo and why do you have to say my comments are sad ? i never said cotto hasnt done anything i said he is overrated as i pointed out except for a life and death fight with an old shane mosley and a win over mentally fragile judah what has he done to show he can compete with mayweather ? i also never said cotto isnt good fighter but if you look at his resume at jr welterweight and welterweight i do think he is a bit overrated as i have said i have read few forums making out cotto is some sort of unbeatable force i just cant understand why i think cotto is very good but like i said he is overrated but that doesnt mean cotto vs mayweather shouldnt happen if cotto beats margarito
I wouldn't say that Cotto is "overrated".... Perhaps by not having been through some serious threatening fights yet,,,, the word you could probably use is perhaps "untested"? If that's how you would put the quality of all his opponents up until now...

But some people do think that he'll get past Margarito and a Mayweather... So far I havn't seen much from him that says he can't do this..
I think once the signs are there that a fighter isn't all that,,, but people continue to ignore those signs,,, then I myself would use overrated as well...

But I would more agree with you by saying that Cotto is truely untested yet... He is the hotest prospect at the moment though, and it's hard to overrate a prospect that hasn't shown too many signs of crumbling under the pressure of a big name...

BUTTTT He WILL be tested over the next 2 years though without any doubt, and we'll ALL see exactly how well he's been rated by everybody..
