If Cotto clearly beats Kamegai, it will be his 2nd best win since 2009.

I don't get the bashing of Cotto. Sure there is some truth in what you said here, but no one cares about Cotto. If people were still acting like he's hot **** in 2017 I'd get you, but no one talks about him, hypes him up, etc.

Also one eyed Marg > Kamegai
Kamegai and Rodriguez aren't far off, hard to say who's better
Geale > Kamegai

 

Cotto's popularity was always largely due to him being from Puerto Rico so in this way he was indeed overhyped, but then again the same could be said about other fighters who had their big boxing nation behind them from the start like Canelo and Joshua. A fighter can be decent but still be "overhyped".

I think Cotto's style of boxing is really intelligent and sound and passes the eye test. He also deserves credit for longevity. He bounced back after the devastating defeat against Margarito. At 35 he was very competitive with "prime" Canelo in a fight some people even think he won.

 

People that aren't on this forum. Also Cotto had a couple solid wins here and there between that time. Whether you believe Martinez was completely shot or not, Martinez was the favorite. He destroyed Geale too.

 

MargoCHEATO didnt have his plaster-o-paris wraps, and without them, Cotto busted him up, inside and out and almost permantently blinded him.

 

Don't forget that Danny Geale was drained down to 157

 

Why hate on Cotto? He is a HOFer. I don't think anybody annoying him ad an all time great level fighter.
You can't deny he is still a 4 divisions champion. And since 2010 was competing at his 3rd and 4th weight class.

 

Danni Geales is a glass jawed quitting dog bum.

 

Cotto has never been in a bad fight. That guy is pure bang for your buck. Always entertains and consistently fights against the highest level opposition in the sport.

 

Rodriguez, back in 2013, was clearly a step above Kamegai.
And Margarito was still a beast. Cotto threw everything at him, yet Margo was only hurt a few times. Not that the Mexican was bothered by it at all. Ffs, Cotto landed harder and cleaner than he did in the first time, and Margo just laughed at him. That mans will was insane and his chin unquestionable.

 

Beat Dawson, Sturm, Adama, Sylvester, Karmazin, Mudine and a few others. He was a solid top 10 contender.

 

Kinda funny when some laugh that Cotto lost to Trout. "He handpicked him". Well clearly he handpicked a good opponent. (not that it's always the case when it comes to cherries)

 

Cotto beat the odds. Quite many picked Geale over Cotto and many more when it came to Martinez.
No matter what, no one expected Cotto to annihilate those two the way he did.
Cotto stopped Geale in 4, that was his fastest stoppage since 2004.
Heck, Cotto did Rodriguez in 3, his fastest win since 2002.
