    Not really. Other than Kostya and Collazo, Ricky hasn't really fought that many good fighters. He beat the hell out of KT but he won a very close, controversial decision against Collazo (a fight many saw him lose, including me).

    Cotto has fought tougher opposition if you don't count KT for Ricky. I'd have to say they're about the same since the win against Tszyu was so impressive.

    I think it's a bit premature to put Cotto in the top 10, tho. I'd rank him around 15 or 16.

      Cotto's resume is just as good as Hatton's if not better than Hatton's overall. If you consider there resumes at similar points in there career then Cotto's is much betters than Hatton's resume.

          To rank Cotto over Barrera and Calzaghe is a joke.

            I have no problem with him in p4p top 10. But if you put him on there it should be no better than 9. I would put castillo ahead of him. 10 9 8 would be cotto cal and hatton not in that order

                The order of the bottom 3 can be changed, or you can throw in Calderon or J.L. Castillo if you want.

                  The win against Tszyu wasn't THAT impressive. Nothing but clinching the whole fight. Let me not forget to the the low blows. Also the man has had 41 fights.. Cotto has had 28.. Cotto has fought better people than Hatton. If you take out Tszyu from there. 41 fights.. and only has a notable win of Kostya Tszyu.. In a not so impressive fashion IMO.

I'm strongly considering whether or not to put Cotto ahead of Calzaghe, who also has no big wins but has been undefeated forever and a day. Cotto's opposition is as good as Calzaghe's so it's close. I don't know why I didn't have Cotto higher before.

                    1) Mayweather
                    2) Wright
                    3) Pacquiao
                    4) Taylor
                    5) Hatton
                    6) Calzaghe
                    7) Cotto
                    8) Barrera
                    9) Freitas??
                    10) Castillo??

                    Last two are up for debate. People I'm considering include Freitas (only 1 loss to Corrales), Castillo (strong resume), and of course Hopkins gets on there probably in front of Hatton if he's still fighting.

                    What do you guys think about Cotto being on there? Maybe he shouldn't be ahead of Barrera, but I've had Barrera in the bottom half of my list ever since the Pacquiao loss and redemption against Morales.

                    he's retired...........

                      No he said he was un-retired about a month later.

                      Probably when Corrales left the division.
