    Margarito's win over Cotto more impressive than Mayweathers win over Hatton!?!?

    This should make for great discussion.

    Floyd Mayweather p4p number 1 fighter in the world stops Ricky Hatton 43-0. To most ringside observers Hatton was making the fight close early on then Mayweather began to break him down and eventually stopped him in an impressive manner.

    El Tornado De Tijuana began the fight behind. Cotto 32-0 was outboxing him the 1st 6 rounds easily. Then after round 6 Margarito was starting to come on and began breaking him down dishing out a beating. He then stopped him in an impressive manner.

    Now....

    That is tough... I think Margaritos win was more impressive, because he was supposed to lose according to the odds makers. Floyd was like a 4 - 1 fav over Hatton if I remember correctly. This might make more sense to compare Margaritos win to Floyds thrashing of Corrales, because I think Diego was favored in that fight if not it was even money.

      Margaritos over Cotto. Cotto was a undefeated Top 5 P4P fighter. Marg was not top ten

      Mayweather was P4P 1, and Hatton was lowish 10, and coming up in weight.

        They're very close only because Hatton and Cotto were way overhyped. The difference is Floyd dominated Hatton the whole fight while Margarito certainly lost 5 of the first 6 if not all of the first 6

            I probably should change my pick since Margarito was expected to lose.

              Let me stop.. I wish I could take back my vote after some consideration. I think Margarito's was more impressive, though Mayweather's check hook was more entertaining of a finish. I misconscrewed the question..
