Resume Question?

[deevel79]

Cotto didint face better opposition at 140, 140 is a mess to this day, the only credible fight that took place there for the longest was hatton/tszyu, everyone else was just a belt holder and that includes cotto, alot of his 140 opponents were common fights that floyd had, there is no way cottos resume is better at 140, its largely the ****ing same, with floyds common opponents aged.

I am not saying its better, but i am saying Cottos resume at 140 means very little to me in comparison to floyd save for malignaggi and torres mostly because they share far too many common opponents who started at 130/135 in comparison to floyd. If you want to sit there and say Cottos resume is better than floyds at 147 i would agree, but at 140, most of those guys werent even natural lightweights and had already fought floyd years earlier.

Come again????

Floyd isnt better but neither is cottos, they are equal to me due to the fighters on there and the fact that they share common opponents nearly all of them being past their prime, with the only real standout wins for cotto being malignaggi and torres.

Exactly! And those to names/wins are better than anyone Floyd has faced @ 140. Malignaggi was undefeated prior to losing to Cotto, and has remained undefeated since moving on. Same can be said for Torres. His latest loss to Holt was a result of a headbutt that ko'd him.

You can't compare the two at 140. Mayweather was there for 3 fights and Cotto made his bones at 140. Besides, it's not like Malignaggi/Torres is that much better than Gatti/Bruseles. We are talking about a guy in Malignaggi who has been given two gift decisions in his last four fights. And then there is Torres, he of the first round KO to a guy he got lucky to beat in the first fight.

Anybody that voted for Cotto care to explain why?

Yeah, im sure that headbutt had absolutely nothing to do with him being KO'd. LOL.

Just like **** being thrown in the ring had absolutely nothing to do with the impending outcome of the first fight.

Yeah I'm sure that right hand had nothing to do with it either.

Twice. Headbutts are a part of boxing. Just like low-blows, puching off the break, etc....
