Cotto Now The #1 Ranked JR Middleweight By The Ring And ESPN

good for him won't last long though even if he beats Tony, someone else will get to him Cotto not strong at 154 pounds

If you are gonna say ESPN just say "Dan Rafael". Those are his personal ratings.

Cotto was definitely never the best at 140lbs. didnt know that beating old man Mayorga could vault you to #1.

calling cotto #1 at 140 back then would be like calling sturm #1 at 160 right now. sturm is #1 but martinez is the champion at 160.

Dzinziruk is WBO Jr. Middleweight Champion and ranked number 8. Your confusing the alphabet belt holders with the world champions. The only world champions are the lineal champions. The alphabet belt holders are just alphabet belt holders, nothing more. It is not possible, by definition, for more than one person to be the champion of the world in a given weight division at a given time.

He was ranked the #1 contender. Contenders are ranked below the champion, obviously. Being ranked the #1 contender means you're considered to be the best of the rest. pretty much. #1 in ring when there is no champion means you're the #1 ranked fighter in the division. #1 in ring when there is a champion means you're the #1 contender in the division.

do you even know what u talking about? Dzinziruk is WBO Jr. Middleweight Champion and ranked number 8. you're logic is nothing but a retard. not about the champion. its about how good you really are they make the ranking. and Dzinziruk is nothing but a bum. do you know wtf you're talking about? we're talking about 140 not 154. and we're talking about ring magazine rankings and ring magazine champions NOT some stupid WBO / WBC / WBA / IBF garbage rankings and titles. next time know the topic before opening your mouth. dumbfuck.

He was ranked #1 at 140 for sometime. Don't confuse being the champ in the division with being ranked #1. He was ranked the #1 contender. Contenders are ranked below the champion, obviously. Being ranked the #1 contender means you're considered to be the best of the rest.

For fighting Mayorga? LOL Jesus boxing is really a joke now. I have no doubt that Mayorga would beat a majority of the guys in the top 10. The one who came into shape saturday night. Either way...considering who's there and their inactivity, there isn't a problem with them. These guys need to fight and get weeded out.

Cotto-Cintron on the PR day parade weekend at MSG next year makes sense to me. Should be easy to make since the frog is signed to Top Rank now (co-promoted I think).

The division has some good talent, but this just proves there's much need for clarification. We need more fights from the top guys to truly determine who's the best here. Martinez and Williams are out the picture, Pacquiao moved south when Martinez started calling him out, Kirkland was in jail and is now at 160, Maragrito is getting his ass kicked lately. ect. I have no problem with Cotto being ranked the top gun since it beats Cintron being number number one, but it's not to say he's really running sh.it there.

Considering its America, that would be a momumental contribution! I'm knocking her contribution. I love it. She should go a step farther and tell parents to be responsible. But she's not 'politicking' like Condolezza was/is.

To be fair to Mrs Obama. She is not a politician, she is married to one. Her thing is not wanting kids to be fat. That is her "contribution" to politics. Considering its America, that would be a momumental contribution!

Looking at that list, I think Cotto should fight Vanes and Sergei Anyone but Vanes...rather see a rematch with Gomez than watch a Vanes fight. I think Cotto/Wolak would be a more exciting match for the 6-8 rounds it'll last

well in fairness, Kermit Cintron was the #1 rated guy prior to this. Alfredo Angulo was #2, Ryan Rhodes #4 and so on. So no one in the division really has done enough to claim the top spot. So it's not that bad when you realize that. I mean here are the Ring's ratings as of now, can any of these guys truly be higher ranked than cotto? Now of course, there are guys at 154 who would beat him not on that list, like Kirkland and probably paul williams for example, and also maybe the cuban lara. #1 Miguel Cotto Country: Puerto Rico Record: 36-2-0 (29 KOs) Ranking: This Week: 1 | Last Week: 3 | Weeks On List: 41 Title: WBA #2 Kermit Cintron Country: USA Record: 32-2-0 (28 KOs) Ranking: This Week: 2 | Last Week: 1 | Weeks On List: 94 #3 Alfredo Angulo Country: Record: 19-1-0 (16 KOs) Ranking: This Week: 2 | Last Week: 3 | Weeks On List: 77 #4 Ryan Rhodes Country: United Kingdom Record: 43-4-0 (29 KOs) Ranking: This Week: 4 | Last Week: 4 | Weeks On List: 73 #5 Sechew Powell Country: USA Record: 26-2-0 (15 KOs) Ranking: This Week: 5 | Last Week: 5 | Weeks On List: 52 #6 Vanes Martirosyan Country: USA Record: 28-0-0 (17 KOs) Ranking: This Week: 6 | Last Week: 7 | Weeks On List: 66 #7 Pawel Wolak Country: USA (from Poland) Record: 29-1-0 (19 KOs) Ranking: This Week: 7 | Last Week: NR | Weeks On List: 1 #8 Sergei Dzinziruk Country: Ukraine Record: 37-1-0 (23 KOs) Ranking: This Week: 8 | Last Week: 8 | Weeks On List: 44 WBO #9 Saul Alvarez Country: Mexico Record: 36-0-1 (26 KOs) Ranking: This Week: 9 | Last Week: 9 | Weeks On List: 17 #10 Cornelius Bundrage Country: USA Record: 30-4-0 (18 KOs) Ranking: This Week: 10 | Last Week: 10 | Weeks On List: 32 Title: IBF Looking at that list, I think Cotto should fight Vanes and Sergei

Most definitely. In hotness, personality and certainly as far as politics go. To be fair to Mrs Obama. She is not a politician, she is married to one. Her thing is not wanting kids to be fat. That is her "contribution" to politics.

cotto was never the #1 guy at 140. when cotto finally became #1 at 147 , margarito beat his ass down in his next fight. dejavu at 154 i guess. Yo, that phuckin sig pic is funny as hell. Had me crackin up!

don't confuse being ranked #1 when there is a champion to being #1. when you're #1 without a champion then you're the #1 guy in that division. when there is a champ in the division , you're #2 in the division. do you even know what u talking about? Dzinziruk is WBO Jr. Middleweight Champion and ranked number 8. you're logic is nothing but a retard. not about the champion. its about how good you really are they make the ranking. and Dzinziruk is nothing but a bum.

Most definitely. In hotness, personality and certainly as far as politics go. condie was hot.

What a load of bollox
