    What do you guys mean "all-time great" exactly?

    What do you guys mean when talking about all time great? I mean I'd put Mayweather Jr and Pernell in the top 40 or 50 all time. Is that what you mean when speaking all time? The all-time list of fighters in which most would put Robinson at 1.

    What is this talk about Cotto probably not being on the all time great list? If he gets another 3-4 quality wins he should be in the top 100 or maybe even top 60.

    Someone clarify...

    Don't take this the wrong way, but I would put Cotto higher on that list than Floyd. Just look at there resumes. Yes Cotto has that won L, but we are still not sure about the Marg thing. I think Floyd would surpass Cotto on your listed ONLY if he fights a top fighter. I'm talking about a Pac, Cotto, Clottey or Mosley.

                Damn larry aired you out lol, you have your opinion tho. I don't understand when ppl say "he'll never be an ATG". Any1 could be on the list if they do enough in the sport.

                  Are you kidding me? You want to talk about resumes?

                  Cotto:

                  Judah
                  Mosley
                  Malignaggi
                  Torres
                  Quintana

                  Mayweather:

                  Oscar De La Hoya (6 division champ)
                  Ricky Hatton (prime, undefeated, 2 division champ)
                  Zab Judah (prime, undisputed welterweight champ, 2 division champ)
                  Carlos Baldomir (lineal welterweight champ)
                  Arturo Gatti (2 division champ)
                  Jose Luis Castillo (prime, #1 lightweight, 2 division champ)
                  Diego Corrales (prime, undefeated #1 super feather, 2 division champ)
                  Carlos Hernandez (featherweight world champion)
                  Jesus Chavez (2 division world chamption)
                  Genero Hernandez (top 5 Super Featherweight, all time)

                  Floyd has beaten more world champions than Cotto has title fights.

                    That's your opinion! I saw someone who picked his opponents...not someone willing to fight the best out there.
