    I'm going to have to disagree, I don't think Cotto will be getting much credit if he wins this fight. Cotto actually has everything on the line in this fight. 1. His belt. 2. He's fighting a smaller guy. 3. If he wins, it goes back to number 2, everyone will talk about the size difference.

    What icon status?, this will be his first major win after Mosley. That means he will have only TWO major wins in his record. Two is enough to become an "icon"?

    Above all, isn't Cotto fighting someone smaller moving up?, I thought that's a disgrace...

    Cotto's taken all the vacant belts man. Why do I have to fight champions? Cotto's never fought a champion.

    Belts vacated by Mayweather cause he doesn't want any.

    Clottey lost, I guess you're still butt hurt. Antonio had plaster, which is why he's suspended... Mosley got outboxed, took away 5 fighters 0's.

    Cotto has fought everyone they have put in front of him so

    Well yeah "closer", not quite there yet. To become an icon he needs to beat Pac, beat Mosley in a rematch and beat someone else elite, or beat Margarito. I like Cotto but "Icon" is a big word.

    He is already an icon in puerto rico but a win against a Pacquiao will be good for his career. Pacquiao maybe small compared to Cotto but he is a legit contender. His will also raise his rank in the P4P list. I don't think he'll be automatically be number one but he will most likely be on the top 3 list.
