Cottos first proffesional fight

Are we talking on most boxers period, or the boxers considered to be great fighters? I hear his name thrown around at times in the discussion of great fighters, which he simply was not. He was a very good fighter yes, never great. He won't get anywhere near the Hall Of Fame, and doesn't deserve to.

 

I remember watching that live...fell in love instantly

 

NO... an all time great who came back from fighting a 2 eyed cheater with plaster wraps to expose what a plasterless margarito looks like.

Hating does nothing for you. The false pride you feel does not feed you, nor grow your bank account.

 

You are not serious. Cotto lost to Antonio Asterisko, and Manny Pedquiao... Trout I won't even count because Cotto is NOT a 154lb fighter...

I would pit Cotto against the VERY best in history at 140lbs and only an envious hater would say Cotto would not have a very good chance of beating them ALL.

 

"All time great," seriously? First off, Mosely would be the one who beat Margarito, and "exposed" him as you put it. After that, Pacquiao broke his eye socket. After BOTH of those beatings, Cotto finally got his rematch, fighting the corpse of Margarito, wow, what a win!! He has that win, and one over a 35 or 36 year old Mosely, who had been in a ton of wars, and was on the serious decline. Went down to a knee twice and quit vs Margarito, lost by 9 rounds against Mayweather, knocked out cold by Pacquaio, beaten soundly by the great Austin Trout.

That's definitely the resume of an all time great....

 

My favorite Cotto's fight was against Ricardo Torres.

 

So a bet on Martinez is safe :think

 

i hope to see him fight live before he hangs em up. one of my fave boxers all time. Young cotto was great to watch moving up the ranks and the way that he did it no easy street taken.

Lightning quick lefts to the body set up the cruncher to the jaw. Awesome display for a rookie. You just knew back then that his future was bright.

 

Let me correct you. Mosley beat a plaster-Free Margarito. 2) Unlike Shane, Cotto is not steroid cheat.

Cotto when from round 2 to 11 with a busted nose, swallowing his own blood...Something Izzy Vasquez chose NOT to do when he quit against Marquez.

I like how you diminish Mosley as having been in "a lot of wars" and yet... That same Mosley, knocked Margarito's ass the fack out!

No plaster... NO glory.

You mention Cotto losing to Mayweather... Marquez did not even win a SINGLE round against floyd.

Floyd edged out the rounds on Cotto but they were by NO means easy rounds for Floyd.

Cotto has 4 losses... 2 of those loses to "asterisk warriors" Who has Manny KO'd recently? No Ariza Shakes... NO glory.

Bottom line, unlike 80% of your fighters, Cotto doesn't need to use PEDS or plaster wraps to win fights...

You KNOW Cotto is an ATG... Fck outta here.

 

People actually think Cotto is an ATG? :rofl
