JMM/Cotto not sure who I'd pick at this moment, JMM has the far greater single win in Pacquiao but his list of opponents isn't as impressive as what Cotto has, plus Cotto just gained THE MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP and that has to count for something.
Wladimir
how do you dominate a division if you never fight the best guy in it? never understood this. its like saying ottke dominated 168 with his 21 title defenses. did he really...
Name the best heavyweights from 2006-14 and then tell me who you wanted him to fight
Trinidad- Whitaker, De la hoya, Vargas plus other good wins put him on top. H2H I pick no other welterweight since his era to beat him.
JMM- Victory over Pacquiao and Barrera get him the 2nd spot but I can't put him in the top spot since he got schooled by every decent boxer he fought.
Wlad- Beat everyone he had to beat and reigned for a long time.
Cotto- Only good win is Mosley. Lost every time he stepped up to fight the best, and he lost to Trout and Clottey in my scorecard.
so he didn't have to beat the #1 guy in the division or the guys that his brother fought for him? very low standards i see

I will clarify my rankings..
All these guys are great fighters but based on career achievements
1 jmm- held his own vs manny for over a decade, ko of manny great than anything has done in a single fight
2 wlad- heavyweight dominance for nearly a decade, dominated biggest fights vs Byrd, Peter, haye, povetkin,
3 Tito- a great welter and jr mid champ, and won a mw belt, only lost to Hopkins in his prime.
4 cotto- biggest win was vs an aging champ, never was truely the man in any division till he beat serg.. He falls just short of tito

Maybe Cotto as number one for his performance against Mosley. And solid performances against manny and money... He was competitive. I think JMM did more, and his dramatic wins make him more special to me.
Wlad due to his domination. Tito stuck around too long, and he will always be the guy bhop became famous famous from. Tito isn't special. He had his moments, but nah
All a similar level.
I'd probably have Marquez top and then Tito.
The other two IMO are abit behind those two but then I'd have Wlad then Cotto (Very close IMO)
All sure fire HOF'ers.
