    He may have two legit losses (Marg = wraps and Pac may = PEDs). Either way, Cotto is legit elite. No gatekeeper there. He's far older "Ring Years" than his age. 1-2 fights, tops, left for him.

    WAR COTTO

    He does currently hold a title.

    He just so happened to prove what gatekeepers are there for, which in this case is that Takahiro Ao was overrated and unworthy of carrying around a title at 130.

    This is just not really the case. Maybe from now on, but up until this point def not I'd say.

    Chisora notable losses:

    Tyson Fury - still considered a prospect, proves nothing
    Robert Helenius - robbery, but still seen highly by those who worshipped him
    Vitali Klitschko - top 2 HW of the past 8 years, proves nothing
    David Haye - titlist and clear top 5 HW talent, proves nothing
