The top two Welters VS older More experienced Fighters.

Who deserved more credit for their win?? Cotto or Mayweather??

Please let me know who you think poses a greater opposition in the Welterweight Division given their age De La Hoya or Mosley???

I got Sugar by a WIDE margin and I give Cotto more credit than PBF

Mosely v. Cotto was a much more action packed fight.

But im more impressed with de la hoya v. mayweather to be honest.

I really expected for cotto to win (as he did) but i also expected oscar to pull through over mayweather and the fact mayweather was able to pull it out down the stretch was more impressive to me.

Many will say otherwise but thats my opinion...

cotto v. mosley was more action packed and exciting but mayweather/de la hoya was two of the sports best (even if oscar is past his prime) and it was very strategic on mayweather's part of very tactical.

what i was impressed with MOST in the cotto/mosley fight was seeing cotto box towards the end of the fight...it was a pleasant surprise.

It was good to see cotto could box successully against someone as good/talented as mosley. says a lot about his boxing ability and that really raised cotto's stock in my book.

Well, I would give Cotto more credit as Mayweather was the clear favorite in his fight and Cotto was the slight underdog in his.

I had Mayweather losing to De La Hoya and thought he would give him the Mayorga treatment in which I would give Floyd his credit for really owning ODLH.

But I would have to put the Mosley Cotto fight in a spot for the top 5 fights in 2007

I had it both ways I really didnt know who would win that one.
