Miguel Angel Cotto or Felix Tito Trinidad? Who has the better legacy? Who does PR love more?

I don't see Cottos resume/legacy as all that

When Zab Judah is your 2nd best win we got a problem:russ:

Never beat any great champs, never been lineal champ, never unified, losses to average fighters:manny:


Lets add in that most of Cottos championships were vacant when he won them. So he didn't even beat an actual champ in many cases. Cotto isn't even the second best PR of all time. Probably not even third or fourth. It might be hard to put him in 5th. Hes just the most recent. In no order you have Tito, Gomez, Benitez, Camacho, Rosario, etc.

On KRS One's nose, eating sunflower seeds.
:mindblown: People like this are the reason why the boxing section needs a key to get in.


Did someone give YOU a damn key?:camby: With your "expert" opinion. People like you are why some cats don't post in here, soon as someone says something the pack doesn't agree with we get responses like yours. It's HIS opinion, dont diminish the breh.

He's not Top 5.

My Top 3 PR fighters would be Carlos Ortiz, Wilfredo Gomez, and Tito Trinidad. That's not changing anytime soon. Then you have to add in other fighters like Hector Camacho, Wilfred Benitez, Juan Laporte, Wilfredo Vasquez, etc.

Top 10 definitely, but not Top 5. Not sure that's attainable at this point in his career

Its not his opinion. Its his lack of knowledge. Or do you agree that Cotto has more "longevity"? I'm glad some dudes don't post here. Less clutter to sort through.

Well educate him then, everybody isn't as knowledgeable as you may be. Of course Cotto doesn't have longevity over Tito, I just think you went overboard breh. Someone had to teach you something too.

Self taught pal. And this was before google. Ring & KO were read monthly. I just don't care for false statements being thrown around as facts.

Damn that hype for a potential Tito/Roy fight was crazy in 01 B-Hop crushed that shyt though.

Tito never taking an L to a Mexican ends this argument. :heh:
I'm glad it didn't happen at that time. Those are my 2 favorite fighters.

I remember when the fight was announced years later.

I was like
