What are Cotto's Best wins.?? How do you rate his resume????

[gmc_rfc_06]

As for resumes, no, it's not 3rd best.

Mayweather, Pacquiao, Froch, Ward...there's a good few guys with better resumes.

You're not seriously using most of those names to back up your argument are you?

You juzt dont know who they are!! All of those fighters were highly touted contenders and champions in the early 2000's and on, you know like 12-13 years ago!! Did you even watch boxing around that time...did you know pinto and abduliev beat cotto in the ams and the pro fights had alot of hype behind them?? Im sure you did since you know about boxing right!!... NECKSSSS!!

I know exactly who they are.

But is this what we do now? When we are trying to make a point of someones resume, we literally pick almost all of their wins and then say "well this one was a contender", "this one was hotly tipped"?

It doesn't work like that. If you're making a point about the greatness of a fighter then you judge the fighter on how he's done against the best fighters he's fought and Cotto usually comes out second best, wins a robbery like the Clottey fight or beats up boxing's version of Christopher Reeve in Sergio Martinez. That night i thought they were gonna roll out Paul Williams for an encore.

Lets not use the word "robbery" when we're comparing Cotto with Canelo, who usually gets at least one gift scorecard per fight and arguably lost to both Trout and Lara.

You cant discredit a fighters resume against solid competition because he fought them earlier on in his career... thats just dumb dude, and besidez i never said it was a great resume, but ts made it sound like he has a shiet resume and i named every fighter i can think of on top of my head that were former champs or fringe contenders in early 2000's that cotto beat..

Cotto lost a few times but that is what happens when you fight the best fighters out there! De la hoya lost, trinidad, chavez, whitaker, pacquaio got knocked out so did klitchko and they are still great fighters with great resumes, not all wins are going to be great wins and you have to fight a few tomato cans along the way but every great fighter has done it.. and the same should apply to cotto imo.

[Pugilist95]

On basis of what??? please elaborate. I can make a case for Bradley having a far better resume than Cotto .

Completely forgot about Marquez, Bradley and Froch. I'll concede on that point. I do think a case can be made for his resume being better than Khan though.

[juandabomb]

mosley thats about it...margacheato was damaged goods thanks to manny plus he was coming on til the stoppage. over all cotto is overrated in my opinion. his victory versus martinez we all know was a cash out fight for sergio who had bunk legs. cotto is fool's gold

[VG_Addict]

Canelo has wins over Carlos Baldomir, Shane Mosley, Lopez, Austin Traut, Angulo ,Lara.


I'd say they both have pretty comparable resumes considering some of Cotto's losses also Canelo has only lost once probably to the Greatest Fighter of Our Generation.


No way does Cotto deserve the Lion's share in Canelo negotiations.

So, you discredit Cotto's wins over Judah, Martinez, and Mosley, but give Canelo credit for beating an even more past it Mosley, naturally smaller Baldomir and Lopez, punching bag Angulo, and going life and death with Trout and Lara?

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

Lol @ Cotto having the 3rd best resume in boxing. SMH


Shane Mosley = past it.

Margarito = Good win .

Martinez??? = wayyyyy past it.

Zab Judah?? = good win.


thats about it.

mosley was past it when he fought cotto???

[bluebeam]

Canelo didnt easily beat Trout.

His best wins are Mosley and Martinez.

What is there to discuss about his losses, they were mostly against solid fighters.

Cotto should be A side, he has achieved more in boxing and is actually the no. 1 guy/lineal champion of the division that the fight will take place in.

He has the 3rd best resume in boxing imo.

3rd best?

Floyd
pacquiao
froch all have better resumes than cotto.


cotto is a very good fighter.

but mayorga,jennings,foreman,rodriguez,gomez. cotto has some soft touches on that resume

his best win is shane mosley
