    That is false and that can damage Christian and Jewish relations for years... Cotto never fought Hatton unlike Mayweather and Pacquiao, Cotto never faced Oscar unlike Mayweather and Pacquiao, Cotto never faced Guerrero or Ortiz unlike Maywether or Berto, Cotto never faced Clottey or Bradley unlike Manny, Cotto never fought JMM unlike Maywether and Manny, Cotto never faced Canelo or Maidana unlike Mayweather.

    Pacman was fortunate enough to be in the same division as other 1st ballot HOF'ers- Barrera, MOrales and JMM. This is what really helps enhance his legacy, that he was fighting other HOF'ers who just so happened to be competing in and around his weight division.

    He has a winning record against all those guys and also went undefeated for 7 or 8 years while fighting top tier guys. He also has a win over Miguel (even though it was at a CW.)

    Cotto has fought pretty much everyone there was to fight from 140-147, but Pacman still has the superior resume as far as competition goes, and he clearly has the better wins on his resume as well. Floyd also has the better wins on his resume including beating Cotto decisively.

    He has a very good resume but someone like Pac or Floyd probably has a better one.

    It was my understanding that resume only counts wins.

    Didn't know you get to put jobs you didn't get on your resume.

    He lost most of his really big fights dummy.

    The guy who lost to Margarito, Pac, Floyd, Trout. Cotto's best win are against grandpas. Mosley and Martinez.

    What's the point of having a resume if you FAIL when you face the best? You don't list the jobs you got fired from! Cotto has the resume of a contender.
