    Pavlik or Cotto?

    Ofcourse Im not talking about head to head but people sweat Cotto for the same exact things that Pavlik is doing now except that he's doing it on a much higher level then Cotto. Cotto has beaten some good guys but he hasnt quickly stopped 2 guys like Taylor & Miranda. Also, Pavlik is a big MW but he isnt that much bigger then Taylor & Miranda who are also strong guys and he still ran through them while alot of Cotto's oppents have clearly been at a size disadvantage.

    To me, I think Pavlik deserves to be ranked higher and deserves to get more respect then Cotto from a hype standpoint. People go crazy on this board about Cotto and I think Pavlik's last 2 performances have been better then Cotto's high stuff. Everyone calls Cotto the most exciting guy in the sport and all this but they dont say those same things about Pavlik. Dont get me wrong, people hype him on here but its nothing like Cotto and I think this puts him on a definatly higher level then Cotto. He is even more of a pressure fighter then Cotto is and punches harder

    I like Cotto better but u have a great point and it all depends on your personal tastes I guess. Both fighters have very high boxing IQ and are very strong mentally. I admire that in fighters and these two in this regard alone are two of the best.

      If Cotto can decisively beat Mosley, he SHOULD be ranked higher than Pavlik. Take away Miranda and JT and what have you got??

      Cotto has beaten the puncher--Torres, the boxer--Paulie Malignanni, and the boxer/puncher--Zab Judah, consistently woth his entire nation's support/pressure.

        People have a problem with Cotto because he presses the action, AND has a china chin.

                That China chin has him down a whopping one time in his career.

                And DLT...

                Miranda a better win than Cotto has had? Are you kidding me? Miranda was a loud over hyped trash talker. Cotto fought more established guys in his first 20 fights. Give me a break with that ****.

                Yeah Taylor was a better win. Thats a given...
