Hard to believe people actually think Bruseles can win his record is peppered with nobodies. Cotto is pumping his head for a brutal beating. I think he is just using Bruseles to scout out Floyd for a future fight anyway. Bruseles = Lamb to the slaughter
Winky should follow Glen Johnson and Tarver's example screw the belt. Get the money...we know who the real champ is....at least until Tito knocks him the f#ck out...lmao.:)
1.Tszyu - Obviously
2.Mayweather - This is based on what he's done in lower weight divisions.If he doesn't dominate Bruseles,he drops a couple spots.
3.Hatton - I dont like the fact that he fights in his hometown in every fight but he's made alot of tough fighters give up.
4.Gatti - Past his prime but he can still bang with the best in the division.I think Hatton would outlast him,and Tszyu/PBF outclasses him.
5.Harris - After Knocking out Hurtado and Urkal,I have to rank him in the top5.I ranked him just below Gatti because I think Gatti's new boxing style would give Harris trouble.
LEFT OUT:Miguel Cotto - Needs to fight better opposition.Ndou gave him a run for his money,so you have to believe the 5 World Class fighters ranked above him would as well.

No Spadafora??? Any fighter coldblooded enough to shoot his fiance deserves to be ranked in the top 5....lmao:)
As much as the nuthuggers want to post about how great Pac is, the pressure is on him because Morales already has a legacy of fighting great fighters and beating great fighters. Morales has fought and beaten better fighters than Pac. Pac beat MAB and should have gotten and L to JMM. You tell me who has something to prove
why so negative? This is all in fun. No need to call someone nuthugger because they don't agree with your point.
Ouma put on a clinic. Very smart way to make Kofi use up all his strength early. I guess once he got to America he stopped running 20 miles a day....lmfao.
I think DLH and Mosely are too strong and too skilled for anyone currently in 140-147. They both have tested chins and have faced far superior competition than they will the 2nd go around. Can Spinks deal with Shanes strength and hand speed? He just barely got by Zab. Can Spinks out box and out punch Oscar no way.
I hear what you are saying but if you sign to fight at 140 then fight at 140..if not move up....it's not Cotto's fault but the commissions...they need to enforce this.
KO win by Tito no doubt. Shane was stinging Winky with those body shots...Imagine what Tito will do.....and bring back 15 rds stop this girlie 12 rounds stuff.
Oscar De La Hoya got what he deserved. One doesn't get paid a king's ransom for millions worldwide to pay $40-$50-$60 for PPV to watch you run scared during the championship rounds. This is a big black mark on his storied career and deservedly so regardless of how well he performed during the first 8-9rounds.
what DLH did was no different than what Leonard did against Hagler. Leonard was praised to the hilt...why dog DLH and rob him when he executed the same game plan and upped it?
These two guys are very good young fighters who fight on Jan 29 on the Gatti undercard. I like them both. Jantuah is the more explosive fighter while Ouma is a great young boxer-puncher. I favor Ouma but I wouldn't be surprised if Kofi knocked him out early. What do you guys think?
I agree with you. Ouma will move early and hope Kofi wears down. If Kofi catches him early though......
Hey, I was wondering if anybody has any news, from any corner of the world, regarding what Wladimir Klitschko is going to do next? I have not heard a thing about opponents for him and it has been a couple months since his 'yet another low point' against Williamson! Is this guy fighting again or retiring and taking the Tyson route by fading into 'bolivian'?
Last I heard Wlad was in Oz...searching for the Wizard to get a heart and some courage.
Quit showing your ignorance. Evangelista Cotto is Miguel's uncle, not father.
Also, I don't think Cotto would beat Floyd right now but if he gets 3-4 more fights under his belt (which he will since Floyd isn't interrested in fighting him right now) then I give him more than a good chance at beating Floyd.
If Cotto actually would weigh in at 140 and not 155...he can never beat PBF
Your right to say it's the commissions fault, but if cotto can boil down to 140 and put 15lbs on then it's up to him, loads of fights wouldn't happen if fighters fought at their 'natural' weight, if you know what i mean, but maybe some poundage restrictions should come in to play to make it 'fairer'.
Say for example no more than 7lbs over that limit or maybe even only allowing to weigh in with the next weight limit eg fights at 140 fighters aren't allowed to come in more than 146
i could live with that look what gatti did to gamache..you can kill someone like that.
If you saw Oscar fight Whitaker there is no way you can say Oscar lost. Oscar beat the total shit out of Whit. Oscars fights against Shane were close but Shane did beat him. The tito fight Oscar won hands down. Come on bro.....put down the corona and weed. Get some coffee in you now.:)
I'm bringing this back for all the new members to read.
Salvador was indeed a great fighter i saw his fights against Azumah Nelson and Danny Lopez....tremendous skills.
Morales will probably go the distance but he will be knocked down at least twice. Paq has speed, punching power, and incredible conditioning. I pick him by clear decision.
