Who does Cotto need to beat to have a resume....

That guy would have to go undefeated for 6 more years and possibly win a super middleweight title ...

 

williams, de la hoya, clottey, berto, collazo and a title at 154

 

good question but don't forget that cotto only has really taken on reputable fighters over the last 3-4 years. torres was a big underdog and nobody knew him before he gave cotto the fright of his life.

compare that to floyd's achievements.

granted, cotto's doing the business since bigtime. but i don't think it's realistic to compare cotto's resume as better than floyd's - simply because people tend to not really be aware of floyd's achievements at lower weights.

 

Cotto would need wins over Margarito, Williams, and some wins at 154. He will never win titles at 160...so he needs to beat most guys at 147/154. But he's unlucky...because 154 is a ****in poor division. So Cotto needs to absolutely clean 147, and that won't be enough because it's only one division.

 

He can become a good welterweight ... but not as great of fighter throughout his career as PBF ...

 

He would need to clean the division, hit the top dogs at 154, which isn't a lot.. and a win at MW would do him good.

 

He would probably need to clean up at welter, I'm talking Margo, Willliams, Berto, Clottey etc, take a title at 154 and then beat the champ at 160.

 

if he loses to Margarito its over ... its very hard to chase 12 yrs of perfection ...

6 world titles, 5 weight classes, beat a reigning champion for his strap ... and have 19 title fights w/o losing --

 

:nod

He would need like ten more contenders in his resume. And at least two of those should be very well known or "names". All this while keeping and undefeated record or losing maybe just one time.

Forget about jumping through weight classes. I can't imagine Cotto being successful at 160 or 168. He should focus on 147 and try to be a dominant legend (his models could be Monzon, Hagler, etc).

 

He doesn't need to move up in weight division, he can stay at welterweight and dominate for years to come.

 

Floyd isn't retired and his career/legacy isn't completed yet, So this discussion is ??????????????.

 

:huh

 

It's completely premature to talk about this ****, Floyd's legacy isn't complete. This guy will fight again. :deal
