  1. Are you for real? His run from his first world championship untill Margarito was incredible.

    Incredible?? Really? I don't even care to respond to that. And don't use that "until" route. Losses count.

    It would be a feat if he surpassed Cotto's likely future HOF standing. But he would not beat Cotto now I don't think. Cotto can box well, and would likely time Khan when boxing with him and pressure him to do damage, enough to win the fight. Khan's speed is impressive and he'd be competitive but it's not enough IMO.

    I haven't watched in a while but I recall Cotto's timing to be superior to Mosley for most of the fight.

    Mosley also was able to land his big right early on but never really deterred Cotto.

    Anyways, it's far too early to be comparing Khan's potential to Cotto's career achievements, imo. We'll just have to wait and see.
     
  8. So Cotto's just a "good solid fighter"?

    Really? Unless you have some weird way of ranking fighters, a "good solid fighter" is usually a contender guy or a guy who picks up an odd world title. Not a guy with Cotto's resume.

    Unfair to compare Khan and Cotto right now. Lets wait and see how Khan develops.

    Well I believe every World Title he's won besides the Foreman fight was vacant. But I'm not 100% sure so don't hold me to it.And besides Mosley, what fight did he win that is so amazing? Malignaggi? Khan beat him better. Judah had him rocked in the first but got saved due to a "timely placed low blow." Torres had him on ***** street. Who we talking here? Quintana? Clottey? Cotto fans are the funniest bunch. They praise him for being such a warrior, which I guess he is. But then ***** and cry about everything.

    This.

    Are people really taking this stupidity seriously?... or do we all really know how a fighter who's still in his early 20's and, in my opinion, hasn't even entered his prime yet will compare to a seasoned veteran??

    I don't get it.
     
  12. I'm not even a Cotto fan. It's clear you hate him for some reason though. He is clearly an elite fighter.

    Come on man. Khan has possibly 10+ years left of fighting top tier competition. Even with that, how could he possibly reach the Godly Miguel Cotto.

    Ok, what makes him such an elite fighter?

    Cotto is and always has been ridiculously ****ing overrated.
