      You show your IQ by resorting to namecalling. Again Cotto's hands are faster than Hatton, go hate somewhere else because your guy lost.

        Cotto's hands are not faster than Hatton's.

        Cotto's punches might get there about as quick, but that is because he throws straight punches instead of hooks and loops and what not that Hatton throws.

        Cotto is more accurate too.

          Quintana was amazed and said it, so did Mosely, Ill take their word over you. Hatton has always fooled people and still continues to. He just looks faster, he looks like he is doing a whole lot in the ring when he isnt, you would think he threw 90-100 punches a round, but his past punch stats dont come close to that number.

            It's amazing how everybody hasn't heard of this but, you. You must be a ****ing insider or something man. Whenever I need uncover a secret I'll ask you. Was Ali-Liston II fixed? Who really won Castillo-Mayweather I? When is Naz comin back?

              Did Quintana and Mosley say that Cotto's hands are faster than Hatton's? Probably not, so I don't see how Quintana's and Mosley's respective words are proof for your argument.

              Like I said, Cotto's straight shots get there pretty quick, but they are supposed to, they are straight shots. Hatton's hooking/looping shots get there quick, and they really aren't supposed to.

              Hand speed edge goes to Hatton, and it doesn't matter at all, because it is negated by punch type selection.

                Well perhaps, its just opinion though.

                  Winky? He might have unified the division, but if people don't count Hopkins you SHOULD NOT include winky.

                  His two biggest wins:

                  Shane Mosley (Blown up welterweight durrr)
                  Trinidad (Blown up welterweight plus inactive and old durr)

                  That'd probably be the most common logic. I still wouldn't put his resume above Floyd though. While his is good, he never really made that many defenses in it like Hopkins did.

                  Wright's resume is very good, but I wouldn't put it above Floyd's.

                  For Resume's off current fighters I would put it:

                  1. Holyfield (by a mile)
                  2. Jones
                  3. Hopkins
                  4. De La Hoya
                  5. Mayweather
                  6. Calzaghe
                  7. Pacquiao
                  8. Wright

                  You might have to throw Taylor in there somewhere too.
