cotto has beat better fighters than mayweather at welterweight

[C'MONMANG']

cotto: quintana urkal judah mosley

mayweather: mitchell judah baldomir hatton


cotto has clearly fought the better fighters and he should be called the real champ of the welterweights.

100% accurate..not only that Shane Mosley is arguably a better welter weight then Floyd...

no way man. possibly a better lightweight. shane still might have faster hands, and he does hit harder. but full package, mayweather is definitely better.

Forget one weight, Floyd has beaten everyone put in front of him in five weights: Castillo twice, Corrales, Gatti, Corley, Chavez, Hernandez, Manfredy, DLH, Hatton, Baldomir.

Could Cotto go up in weight? I don't think so.

Didn't Cotto win a world title at 140 already?

The prime WW that beat DLH gives Floyd all kinds of trouble.

im basing it on there competition, what are you basing it on?

In response to all this Baldomir was "the man" stuff: Buster Douglas was "the man" after beating Mike Tyson, so Evander Holyfield became "the man" after beating Buster Douglas. Does beating Douglas make Evander a "great" champion, by itself? And is Douglas a career defining win for Evander?

cotto also beat better fighters at 140.

wow, so true

Ok Cotto gets the nod at 147. But he hasn't jumped up in weight and defeated champions like Floyd. Floyd doesn't give a **** about the welterweight belt. He cares about how many divisions he's won in. 130-154.

Floyd's resume is still better than Cotto's.
