    And he LOST hard like a gatekeeper! Cotto's best win is old man Mosley who proved Margarito was a bum. FACT! This is my point exactly, everyone thinks Cotto is so good but he's not.

    Well, Mayweather is back, #1P4P, #1PPV, 45-0. Why is Pacquiao #1 only when Floyd is retired or on vacation?

    Cotto greatest win is revenging his loss vs Margarito

    Notice how smoothly you bypassed the boggie man

    Youtube Bob Arum video about how Mayweather face changes...when he hears the name "MARGARITO"

    Keep up the BS & someone will publish your hero a book
    "Unforgivable Duckness"

    Mayweather is a question mark, if he faced the same opponents Cotto faced, he would have losses too...and idiots will call Mayweather a gatekeeper :patsch

    Tell Malinaggi that Cotto is a gatekeeper...Watch how he will verbally abuse you with his melodic/convincing tone

    Cotto is facing the Lineal Middleweight Sergio Martinez, something neither Pacman or Mayweather can do :deal

    Win or Lose, he is Gate Smasher :bbb

    Most overrated:

    Nonito Donaire - Having him so high on the P4P list never sat well with me. I always though a guy like Mares would beat him. He was a very good fighter, but he lacked the ability to come forward and lacked elite boxing ability.

    Victor Ortiz - Something is off about this guy. He always find a way to lose in big fights. He lacks the intelligence to be a good fighter and lacks the heart of a fighter.

    Andre Berto - Gave up his chance to fight Mosley. He was smart, because he would have gotten exposed badly. Can't handle pressure and too flat footed to get away.

    Kelly Pavlik - He was big, tough and strong, no doubt. He was also a plodder who couldn't find answers for good boxers.

    Jermain Taylor - An athletic fighter who lacked fundamentals. He probably beat Hopkins once because of his athleticism, but once guys started pressuring him, his weakness show through.

    DLH - I was a DLH fan for many years, but that was before I saw through his weaknesses. He had lousy stamina for an elite fighter. His left hook was pretty much useless against elite southpaws.

    Saul Alvarez - The WBC gifted him the belt. He didn't earn it. He fought some of the worst comp for a champion before the Trout fight and I still though Trout got at least a draw. Angulo will take him deep and drown him.

    Andien Broner - His flatfootedness and inability to counter was exposed by Maidana. The ring had him ranked high on the P4P list...probably because Golden Boy promoted him, but anyone with eyes could see his weaknesses.

    Rocky Juarez - A good gatekeeper. He could never get over the hump and always got beat by good fighters. Somehow, people always gave him a chance to beat the elite.

    Naseem Hamed - Relied on his athleticism and had poor fundamentals. Barerra sonned him badly and he was so embarrassed, he couldn't face the boxing world again...so he ran and hid...and got fat.

    Did you accomplish world-class things in the sport that most prospects would be thrilled to match once they turn pro?

    Did you accomplish those things in spite of flaws in your game, probably because of that whole "being human" malarkey?

    Congratulations! Now, instead of celebrating your achievements, we'll minimize the **** out of them by calling YOU overrated. Now **** off while I grab this Burger King, I'm posting this from my iPhone.

    I wouldn't say Cotto is overrated but he struggled with Urkal and Chop Chop was robbed against him.

    He ranked up loses because he always fought they best.

    If DLH is the most overrated boxer of the last 20 years, what does it say about Floyd that he only managed a split decision against a DLH that was well past his Best Before date?
