    Seriously. Modern boxing has an over 120 year history with ridiculously awesome fighters. For example, how many people know who Tony Canzonieri is? Or Terry McGovern?

    Carlos Ortiz is the greatest Puerto Rican fighter of all time and no one knows who the **** he is! And he's still alive!

    This is what happens when boxing education is based on youtube and Boxrec.

    Cotto was never a killer to begin with. Breaking Malignaggi's jaw does not = killer. Tyson during the late 80's = killer. George Foreman's younger years = killer. Cotto ain't even close to that. Hell the dude got his ass lit up just as often as he did to his opponents. He was very resilient and had alot of heart. But a killer? How long have you been watching boxing?

    Hall of famer? Let me see how he does on May 5th first.

    Cotto is nowhere close to a top 60 fighter. He is not a top 200 fighter of all time.
