OP is a phaggot. I was watching cotto's 22nd fight last week. The HBO announcers wouldnt stop talking about how impressive it was that this young fighter was literally taking...TOUGH fight...after TOUGH fight. How unusual it was. The guy already had a huge rep for tough matchups before his 20th fukken fight. Guys like mayweather only hurt the sport. Outside of the cotto fight, the guy has done NOTHING in the last 5 yrs but be retired for 3 yrs. Just compare delahoyas career opponents vs Floyds. Its fukken laughable. Then consider the fact that oscars been retired for 5 years already. Pathetic.
Cotto defeated a still great version of Mosely in 2007..kicked the crap out of the same antonio margarito who wasn't cheating this time...Won 4-5 rounds against Floyd Mayweather....Cotto is a great.
Quintana scored a pretty big upset W in his last fight. He's an underrated fighter. Cotto has beaten Judah, Bailey, Mosley, Foreman, Margarito, Urkal, Torres, Quintana, Malignaggi. All former champs. It's a damned good resume and if he beats Trout for another title he is surely a HOF contender.
Money has beaten Marquez, Gatti, Corrales, Hernandez, Castillo, Hatton, Mosley, Delahoya, Cotto, Judah and Ortiz. Both guys are HOF bound. :bbb
I actually think he might be more underrated than overrated. The guy has fought damn near everybody. And the only losses came to Manny and Floyd. I dont consider him the same level of stature of those guys but definitely just a notch below.
Funny how some posters on here think being inducted into the HOf is like taking a casual trip to walmart
Don't forget Gregorio Vargas, Carlos Hernandez, Sharmba Mitchell, Carlos Baldomir, and Jesus Chavez. All title holders at some point.
Vargas and Chavez didn't hold major belts. Not that I can recall anyways. I know Chavez was the #1 contender for Floyd's belt for the longest time though. I'm on my phone and can't be arsed to research so feel free to let me know. :good
