What does Cotto need to do to surpass Trinidad??

He never will. Trinidad was already a legend by this point in Cotto's career. That doesnt mean he isnt one hell of a fighter though.

 

tough one...REALLY dominate welter to start. put up ten solid defenses (say 8 by knockout) against the best competition out there. rematching and beating margarito would help

 

beat pacman, knockout margarito, beat hopkins, beat winky then beat roy........... then maybe wlad........... in other words, he never will, simple as!

 

That's a long shot. Cotto cannot surpass Trinidad.

 

tough....
beat pac
beat margo
pbf?
maybe get a belt at 154.....
trinidad was a sure hall of famer when he had cotto's age

 

Not impossible. Everyone blurting out "Never!" isn't thinking too terribly hard on the subject.

Trinidad packed it up and stopped fighting consistently VERY early. Cotto improving and consistently fighting top tier opposition well beyond the stage where Tito was out of the game, how would he not be greater?

Trinidad certainly never had the opportunity to establish his place in history like Cotto will soon have against a prime, rampaging Pacquiao.

 

If he beats Pac and PBF he will have surpased Tito IMO.

 

It'll be almost impossible to do if he hangs em up at 30 like he says he wants. But beating Pacquiao will definately get him alot closer.

 

never will happen

 

:good

 

I think beating Pacquiao and then beating Mayweather back2back imo will surpass Trinidad.

 

?what? that makes no sense those of you saying beat pac beat floyd beat this and that. He would surpass just about everyone if that was the case

 

Already has.
