Who's greater Miguel Cotto or Juan Manuel Marquez and why?

Marquez is special.

Cotto is elite...but not special.

 

Marquez

Because

 

I wish Erik Morales had have been a bit younger so we could have had the pleasure of seeing him pulverise Marquez unconscious but alas….

Without Pac, JMM would be remembered as mini-Margarito

 

Just substitute loaded wraps for loaded syringes

 

You're right, without Pac JMM would only be a 4 division champ and everybody knows how easy that is to do... Moron

 

Anything under welter is midget weight, might as well watch womens boxing

 

Not to mention Mini-Margo-Roidquez was a little too keen on his chemistry set

 

Because you said so, and I agree

 

glad to see sanity has prevailed
cotto was always a bridesmaid in each division he competed in (albeit there were some mighty fighters in and around his divisions), and Martinez was ripe for the picking
it's ridiculous to rank cotto above marquez

 

Marquez on the night of KTFO6 looked like Milhouse in the episode where he is a roiled up teen, nice resume Juan but King Cotto would hospitalise you if that fight does indeed happen

 

Based on accomplishments, I think Cotto takes it.

 

Cotto may have had an off night against the very credible Trout, who not so long ago gave highly touted Jermall Charlo a serious run for his money, but JMM has been beat by half the midgets who went pro since the 90s. Sure Marquez has the highs, but his lows are not the makings of a special fighter.

 

There is probably a guy browsing this forum right now with a pro win against JMM.
