Cotto never fought a defending world champ

and? who gives a ****? he's fought Quintana, Mosley, Margarito and is now fighting Clottey in the welterweight division alone.

Floyd is a two division champion. Lightweight and Welterweight. No more, no less. Thats true... you got no argument from me there.

Floyd fought Oscar at 154. For his 5 division belt. Quitto has only won vacant belts at 147. Floyd is a two division champion. Lightweight and Welterweight. No more, no less.

And so what, he have fought a lot of champions. Whats the difference between fighting a guy for his belt or a vacant belt. I mean you still fighting the same guy, is not like your a power ranger and the belt will give you magical powers during the fight. Yes it does. When you have the "fist of the champ". Go read Hajime no Ippo. You will understand then.

Not important. The titles that he's won don't mean much of anything, to be quite honest. I don't consider Oscar De La Hoya a 6 division champion, I don't consider Mayweather a 6 division champion. They held titles there, I've acknowledged that on occasions, I'm sure. But, I could care less about those trinkets. The only titles that matter are The Ring world titles. That's it. No other title. And I'm a fan of Cotto, Mayweather and De La Hoya. But facts are facts. And when you look at The Ring titles, sometimes vacancies happen. At 154, Tommy Hearns was the last recognized champion until about 2002 when Oscar finally unified and got universal recognition as the best 154 pounded, until he lost the title, virtually an exact year later to Shane Mosley. To me, Mayweather has been champion in two divisions (Lightweight and Welterweight), TRUTHFULLY and De La Hoya has only been the TRUE champion in ONE division (Junior Middlewwight). While Cotto has never been a TRUE champion at any weight. That takes away NOTHING from any fighter I just mentioned. Those ABC belts mean nothing. He fights for those 'vacant belts' because some dumbass fans think it adds to the event. Promoters like to have them as margaining chips and the fighters play ball. Realistically though, smart fighters/promoters/fans know who the real champions are.

Floyd is hated because he was raised to be humble but turned out to be an asshole. Even I have to admit that I wouldn't hang out with the guy even though he is one of my favorite boxers. Then again Ali was just as full of himself as PBF is. Yet, Floyd is hated. The world may never know.

Oh well. The guy is still a beast and has beaten past champions. Now he has a chance to fight(and lose) against a defending champion; Mosley.
