Is Miguel Cotto An Overrated Fighter?

He fights those who are in the top 5 !!!!!

Gayweather is considered the best ever and hasn't fought a legitimate
welterweight in the top 5.

So, go figure!!!!!

 

By Ricans yeah.

Im a fan of his..so maybe I do to aswell..But Im realistic about his limitations. I dont think he is an absolutely awesome fighter, I just like him.

 

Absolutely. To the point where he can get a good win over someone like Clottey and people are deflated. Cotto has been the very definition of overrated. He's a fan favorite, but he's never been as good as the fans or even certain so called 'experts' will tell you. Accomplished solid fighter though.

 

Cotto tries to incorporate the styles of the P.R greats.....that is where he gets himself in trouble when he attempts to emulate Benitez on the ropes.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Benitez on a few occasions of which
for some reason began to open up as if he had known me for a long time.

Dude went through some serious betrayal.....anyways....I don't have an avatar, but if I did it would be the one you have and none other.

If he had only trained with the intensity that Cotto trains with....

 

Sorry, but there was nothing childish meant about that.....it is just a point I made about perception.
Mayweather is considered the best ever by many....

The point is about Cotto....he is not considered great...so, how can he be overrated when he has earned it every step of the way by fighting the best out there?

 

i dont think he is over rated but he has gotten to a point where a loss is coming soon.... and a loss that isn't tainted

 

The loss to Margarito has definately had an effect on him. He needs a Freddie Roach coach.

 

Cotto is a very good fighter but he is vulnerable. If he gets the Pacquiao fight it will be a difficult one but winnable. I really do think he needs a world class trainer.

 

after re-watching the margo-cotto fight it is quite obvious that the man has lost his self-belief, he looks jaded.

He is a top 5 p4p boxer in the world, so in that regards; he is not over-rated.

but taking into account what we now are seeing, and compare that with the hype pre-margo; then ya, he looks over-rated

If he gets his mojo back, he has the heart to do anything

 

he is missing a world class trainer so badly, if he had one from day one who knows how good he may of been

he eats uppercuts fight after fight and still does nothing to stop it.... he needs a new top class trainer fast
