I did. After he beat Santos given that Forrest had passed.

Not sure what your point is with the other two paragraphs.

The Mayweather fight adds to Cotto's resume in my opinion. He outperformed Pac, Canelo, Mosley, and Marquez.

No shot in Hell for fragile Cotto in this one. None.

Tito KO 6.

Cotto has definitely achieved greatness in his career.

He was on the verges of being the best WW in the world going into the Margo fight and after the pacman defeat most felt he was finished.

But then he moved up in weight to beat the best LMW out there (albeit one who was injured) and after another career ending defeat he moved up to beat the best MW out there (albeit one who was injured).

I think he gets a tough rep at times but he has consistently fought the best and despite it seeming his potential would be unrealised when he got stopped by Margo and Pac he still established himself as the best in two divisions.

Tito is on another level though. I don't care what people tell me about the Hoya fight, it was no robbery and could have gone to either man. When he stepped up he never faced the lineal LMW champ but like Golovkin today he managed to establish himself the number 1 in most eyes. He came up short to Hopkins and Winky but both were much bigger men. Cotto is not a bigger man and he is not a better man.

Trinidad is quicker and harder hitting plus he has a much superior jab. Cotto is better defensively and is a better combination puncher in my mind but both love to throw hooks and Tito will get off first.

I see this being fairly one sided tbh. Tito in 4.

Cotto wasn't a better combination puncher than Tito. Trinidad was much better in that regard as well.
