It is much tougher to beat Marquez, Mosley, and Ortiz, no matter who is fighting them, then it is to beat Foreman, Mayorga, and Margarito. Bottom line to this entire discussion.

In any other sport, if you totally dominate your opponent and shut them out, thats means your a strong fighter/team. Only when its floyd.

I guess the 86 Bears weren't any good on D, it was just their opposition sucked so they couldn't score. And all of Nolan Ryan's no-hitters are BS because the other tem couldn't hit.

I did say Ortiz would be tough & he was. It's not like the fight wasn't riddled with controversy. However Floyd ran through Marquez & Mosley & the Ortiz fight ended without being competitive. If you wanna say that Floyd struggled with those 3 go ahead. The Question wasn't who fought the better fighters.

We all say stuff others might not agree with. You said Khan beats everyone at 147 not named Pacman or Mosley when he couldn't even beat a guy in his own division. That's irrelevant to this discussion.

Cotto struggled, Floyd did not it's really not about who they fought, it's about were the fights tough.

Cotto would beat Mayweather's last three and have toughest against Ortiz

Mayweather would have beat Cotto's last three and have the toughest I suppose against Margarito

I agree Cotto might have a hard time with Ortiz, but I don't think Mayweather would have a hard time against 2011 Margarito.

Yet you brought it up. And I still believe it, I thought Peterson would be tough and possibly beat Khan because I knew how good Peterson was. He's at least as good as everyone at 147 except Pac and Floyd.

I interpreted the question as which three fight streak was harder to do, not which fighter had tougher fights. It says something about Cotto right now and how good Floyd is as well that Cotto had more trouble with his three than Floyd did with Marquez, Mosley, and Ortiz.

And you're entitled to the bold. There isn't anyone in this tread that said Cotto fought the better fighters or the tougher 1's. The fact remains Cotto had a harder time beating his three than Floyd did. Unlike the big homey was making stuff on abpout. No one said Foreman> than Marquez. But Cotto struggled more because Floyd is more skilled period.

And I question your Khan Peterson claim. I'm almost certain that you were 1 of those that thought Khan smashes Peterson.

Dead wrong. Never said Khan smashes Peterson, not once. I predicted 8-4 or 7-5 Khan, and said I wouldn't be surprised if Peterson won.

So when floyd beats cotto you will give him credit?

To answer the thread, Margarito was shot and garbage anyways but I'm glad Cotto beat the dog **** outta him. Mayorga is a brawler and was shot, Foreman is a solid boxer, but lacks power and had knee problems.

MArquez was still a top fighter, but outmatched and too small to impose his will, Ortiz was a prime strong fighter but is a dumb ass and can't compose himself, Mosley was coming off a huge win and had a punchers chance, I think he was on something for the margarito fight, he for obvious reasons couldnt juice up for the fight after that
