Cotto still "great"

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

"Great" is a term we use way to easily. Great is the best of the best all time. You can't just throw that word around because it loses it's real meaning.

Cotto could be agreat at the end of his career but he would have to do a lot of things. He would have to beat Margarito and possibly beat Mayweather if Mayweather comes back which I think he will.

I will have to agree my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great though is a subjective matter and is based on ones perspective. I might have exaggerated a bit but it was meant to stress my point. Mayweather didn't want to fight him the first time so I wouldn't see why not fighting him would deter him of being "great". I would understand if he ducked Mayweather but it's a different story since he was being avoided. It's just I can't believe how fans and critics abandon a fighter after a loss. Especially when Cotto was so explosive in his matches and he lost to a really good fighter. The thread was meant to point out just how ridiculous fans can be and how quickly they forget a top welterweight after one match...
