Cotto's legacy?

He will probably be looked at as a Vargas.

 

He wouldn't make the top 50 at WW. But he will be remembered as a good fighter who took on quality fighters and was involved in some nice action fights. Not a bad legacy to leave.

 

Your a ****ing hater your statement that he doesnt get in to the top 100 is almost as ridiculous as the earlier claim that he is top 3 all time.

 

you miss read me bro :nono ...I said he's in MY top 3....MY ...and thats at 147 not all time.

 

Top 60 All-time welter! I can't even say 50.

 

That sums it up perfect:good

 

miguel cotto one of the best welteweights ever

 

He has my respect and would be remember in my book how a true fighter should be. Never made any excuses even in his only two loses were his opponents have raise questions at this point. He fought almost all of them, just a few left, but then again you can't fight them all. Arum did a great job in the beginning, but I feel Arum saw the bigger picture and put Cotto through some fights that could have happen little by little, but they were rush. He was a valiant and brave fighter, who actually care about the fans. During his time fighting he's def. in my top 10 esp. at 147.

 

I would like to see some of these top 50 welterweights list from some that are posting. I bet I would get a laugh out some of them if posted.

 

I don't think Cotto has much of a legacy. In my opinion, legacies are for the elite. Cotto is a decent fighter, but he was no better than that. His best wins are a gift decision over Clottey and a disputable win over a past prime Mosley. Cotto is more hype than greatness.

 

i think you need a more in depth look at the history of boxing before saying this type of thing.....cotto is a very good fighter and this isnt an attack at him in any way. but there are much better welterweights than him in the long history of boxing.

 

This was a response to Cotto not even being close top 100 welterweight. I could probably see a reason of him not being consider top 50. I honestly couldn't name 50 welterweights out of my head instantly, without looking for sources or anything like that. But since you have a great depth in boxing probably more than others and me, could you please be the first to write down your top 50 welterweight list and educate us a little more. I bet your list would bring a ton of arguments. Im ready for your list, hope you don't keep us waiting:good

 

well my apologies then, i thought you had said cotto was a top 10 welterweight

 

I said top ten as of right now, not counting guys in the 80's or 90's.

 

yea i guess i should have read it better than that, i have just seen quite a few guys who obviously dont know the history of boxing forgetting that there were fighters before mayweather and pac.
