So Cotto goes two down with pretty violent knockout losses to Margarito and Pacquiao... in an effort to resurrect his career he moves up to 154 and beats an undefeated beltholder in Yuri Foreman.
Pretty good, right? I think so. Foreman earned his belt against a legit beltholder, but quite shot Daniel Santos. Cotto then follows it up with a win over Ricardo Mayorga, who has not won a big fight since 2003.
However, Dzinziruk won his title in 2005 from Daniel Santos, 5 years closer to his prime in dominating fashion. He had a few decent defenses, Sebastian Lujan, etc. and a solid win over Joel Julio.
So... who really has the better career at 154 up to this point? Quit with the knee jerk reactions to a loss, and stop writing people off just because they found someone that is better than him. Is the next guy Dzinziruk fights at 154 really going to be as good as Sergio Martinez? Doubt it...
