    Cotto loses to Trout....gets called rubbish on this forum lol


    Cotto is an elite fighter, beats Margarito, a 2007 Mosley, Judah, Malignaggi, and has a generally similar resume to Mayweather.


    Still...Camacho is unbelievable.

    Cotto is my boy, but Camacho was by far the more talented fighter.

    If he had actually had dedication, he could've probably been the greatest to come from La Isla.

    I'd also say he has the better resume.

    Camacho knew how to neutralize opponent's power, he never get caught by combination, great shot yes, but not combo. Being a guy who love to trade punch doesnt mean you're naturally a better fighter. DLH said that Camacho footwork and fighting stance really makes it hard (almost impossible) for him to get hit multiple times in a row.

    Too bad Rosario rematch with Camacho never happen. Rosario beat Ramirez first time but was stopped by Ramirez in 4th round in rematch so you'll never know what would happen if they have a rematch.
