Not sure if I can really say that all his opponents are top world class champions. I see the guys in his resume and who they have beaten and they are not top world class opponents unless I am missing something. I see an old Zab Judah and a decision vs Mosley that could have gone either way. Other opponents in his resume seem to have a good record but, against who?
There seems to be an exciting list of top quality big name opponents who are young and in their prime that Cotto could face in the near future, let's see what happens.
You've always questioned Cotto's list of opponents, and I've always told you why it's better than what you'd make it out to be. Again, not saying that "all his opponents are top world class champions", but... who can you say that about? And yet, Cotto HAS consistently faced good, young, tough opponents... some of whom have been avoided by other fighters. Abdullaev and Torres fall on that list. Also, Miguel was fighting guys with great records very early in his career. His resume is NOT full of guys with 0-0, or 1-10 records, as other coddled fighters are... and WELL into their careers, I might add. So we continue to disagree. You see Miguel as not having a bunch of "top world class champions" on his resume... and I see him as having as impressive a resume, if not more, than a lot of top fighters in the world today.
