    The guy was pass it no matter what the odds were, he was doing coke, quit vs hopkins had to lose a lot of weight. But he was smart he hanged around enough to make some big paydays with hopkins, floyd and pac. But he was already done as a top boxer.

    Yes Lara, Williams, Molina, Trout, Kirkland, and Canelo are above Cotto at 154. At 154 Cotto has a shot-to-hell Mayorga whose pressure still caused him problem, one legged Yuri Foreman whose length bothered him, one eyed Margo who was starting to land more and more as the fight progressed, and that is it. I don't put those over Molina's fight with Cintron and Lara, Lara's fight with Molina, Williams fight with Phillips, Cintron, and Martinez, Kirkland's fight with Vera, Julio, or Angulo, or Trout's fights with Alvarez and Lopez.

    I would say that Cotto doesn't even have a better 154 record than Canelo seeing that Cotto has yet to fight one fighter at 154 in their prime.

    LIke I said you may like cotto, but only winning one title from a champ, unifying no divisions, and getting his first title off a one legged Yuri Foreman is not a case for greatness.
