How does that in any way make Floyd look good? You sound obsessed dude...really.
    U may as well not argue with these guys,its not stacked,hahaha,floyd hasnt fought with any of the top WW's,he is fighting smaller guys in a division with tons of talent,then these guys try to dis Oscar,but if u take him off floyds resume,its garbage!!!

      Ok. Money. Not legacy. Thank you.

          What's that gotta do with anything? It wasn't as if Floyd came in and made WW this supreme division. I mean, look at his resume at WW, is that something one would praise as far as uplifting the division? LOL, you oversell your fighter homie.

          Cotto's fought Mosley, Quintana, Zab, and Margarito in the span of 2 yrs. How many of those guys has Floyd fought?

              I see what you're saying, but it's more unproven than anything.

              We don't really know what Berto is yet. We can say oh the Collazo fight was close, but young guys make pretty drastic improvements.

              Clottey is another guy that's gotten one big fight where he got injured. He's been around for a while, but Margarito was the only big time guy he's ever been in the ring with, and who knows what happened to his hand, but something happened. He's another question mark.

              The future will tell more about these guys. It has potential but we won't know for a little bit.

                Clottey will lose to Cotto. I'm hoping the odds get closer towards fight time, might have to lay some real money down. I don't agree with Flawless much, but he's got some good points here. Clottey and Berto are no doubt overhyped, especially Clottey. He has never really impressed me, and against Cotto I think it will be a classic display of an elite fighter vs. and very good fighter.
