      Jose Luis Castillo x2

      9 Defenses of the WBC SFW Title. A top 3 SFW of all time. Floyd started his career at 130 and has gone all the way up to 154, how can you even compare. Cotto is bigger than Floyd, Floyd may be a little taller but Cotto is the larger man.

      There is seriously no argument for what you're trying to say.
      wow Castillo was famous for fighting Corales he was knocked out five time before he ever faced mayweather. All those fighters dont have the same recognition as the ones I mentioned. Castillo beat Mayweather on their first fight. Look mayweather has lots of skill, but he has to fight bigger names.
      Cotto beat Mosley in the weight class that Mosley is most dominant I still dont think he was better than a mosley in his prime, but then again Cotto didn't use steroids to get in shape, he struggles with it. In his last fight he was in way better shape than when he faced mosley.

      I'm just saying the truth, because I follow nice guys like Mosley, Pavlik, Trinidad, Pacquiao etc.
      These guys have accept challenges no matter in what weight they were from.

        If you really think Cotto has accomplished more than Floyd....than I'm just at a loss of words. Nothing to really say about it anymore.

          There's potential. As any ATG, he has to come back and beat anyone he losses to in the long run and viciously. Cotto's a very good fighter and he still has a lot of time to develop into an even greater fighter.

              HOF....probably if he keeps his quality up. ATG....not unless he pulls some miraculous ****, cleans out the 147 and 154 division, becomes middleweight champ and beats some dirst ballot HOFers convincingly. He will probably be a HOFer but I do not think he has it in him to be great.

                But that's when I don't get how people determine an ATG. Where does it say you gotta clean out divisions to be an ATG? Hearns is considered by many an ATG and he didn't necessarily beat everyone in every division he fought (he actually lost 2 of his 3 biggest fights in his career).

                I think the ATG title is loosely thrown around without any legit qualifications. It'll always be here-say.

                    Who said anything about Floyd? Could you get off his nuts for 5 minutes???


                    And Shane is not a "legend"
