    honestly, there's no bigger fighter in boxing you can name in the last 8 years who was bigger than cotto other than Floyd and Pac...

    Big fights in which were not dull by any means. He earned his stripes.

    You don't go down as a great with all those defeats and last night cemented his legacy as a fighter well below the level of greats losing to a handpicked opponent.

    Jesus Christ you guys are being rough on Cotto. He was never the same after the controversial Margarito fight in 2008, but was still an A-/B+ fighter until only recently. Fought everyone, not on Floyd/Mannys level after Margarito, before would have been much more interesting at 140.

    Wow, a lot of hate in here.

    I have only one thing to say. If you all think that cotto is not a great fighter, you all should stop watching boxing and start watching, I dont know, curling?

    The greatest of them all, Sugar Ray Robinson did and so did the likes of Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield, Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins, Roberto Duran and Julio Cesar Chavez.

    Spot on mate - a mediocre fighter at best who was pumped 6 times.
