Honest Question: Who Rank higher: Crawford or Cotto?

Crawford is clearly the more accomplished fighter but one could argue that Cotto has the better wins and superior resume. I believe that had Cotto fought the same competition that Crawford has faced he would be undefeated while Crawford would have a few losses on his record. Thoughts?

 

I'd favor Spence over Cotto, & I wouldn't rule out that Crawford could beat May or Pac.

 

It’s close. Cottos huge MW title winner vs Sergio seems to get forgotten about as many thought Sergio would slice him up. I’d go TC

 

I'm going Crawford, but many sleep on Cotto who imo has the better resume overall

His earlier losses where to a guy likely using plaster and the great Manny pacquiao in one of the great performances this century. He lost to another all time great in Floyd, but made Floyd work hard and busted Floyd up, who wasn't as accurate as usual. It was no coincidence that Floyd wanted Sr involved again following the fight

Martinez looked shot, but no fault of Cotto. I'm not even sure I do have Crawford ahead. I guess the undisputed and being the man in a few divisions gives him the edge, but Cotto fought tougher opponents in his career.

I'm a cotto fan and think he goes under the radar. A very good boxer/puncher who would give the majority a hard fight

 

I disagree entirely. Spence might beat Cotto, Porter might be Cotto, Madrimov might be Cotto (although he beat Bud too imho), Postol might beat Cotto too, Gamboa also.

I'd favor Pacman to beat Bud in 2010 (or whichever year they fought but I dont count Bud out), Ive long held that the Bud that beat Spence beats any version of Floyd Mayweather, Bud would stop Margarito, and Bud would beat older Mosley too.

 

I also believe he would have a zero with the same opponents. I wouldn't pick spence over cotto, especially post car wreck

 

Nope. Those versions of Spence and Porter lose to any version of Cotto and Madrimov is overrated

 

Not a bad take. I guess this comes down to Resume vs Accomplishments

 

I see nothing to suggest Crawford beats Floyd

 

I don't see Porter beating Cotto, bjl12.

 

Yeah..... if Ugas and Brook was able to control him with the jab, picture what Cotto would've done

 

Cotto's resume poops all over Crawford's very thin body of work. Who would beat who (whom?) is a matter of conjecture but their records, up until now, speaks fir themselves.

 

This.

 

Crawford and it isn't close.

 

By those standards Cotto is also overrated.
