    Genetics dictates this it is all about height, frame size, reach, body type.

    That is not a valid argument if neither guy could possibly grow into a weight.
    Those guys havent fought the best at their weight classes, not all of them for Cotto, he needs to fight Williams, and Calzaghe surely didnt. Cotto is huge and can fight above 147.

He spends his last 4 out of 5 fights fighting at welterweight and doesn't even fight cotto, mosley, or clottey... That is laughable.
        How long have you followed boxing, many of those guys you named didnt want to fight Floyd. Floyd was smart in moving up for bigger paychecks.

          I saw it live.

          I also saw Leonard at the 1976 Olympics.

          Howard Davis was my favorite fighter on that team.

          Where were you then?

          Let me know. We'll trade stories.

            Start at 140 then fight Marvelous Marvin at 160.

            What guts and confidence Ray Leonard had.

Mr boat buyer moved up and left unfinished business at 147, cuz he won the world title and didn't do **** wit it. Nobody can logically diss him anymore if he beats the top WW's now.
              Marquez wants a challenge but youre discrediting him wanting to take that challenge. Leonard and everybody who moved up left unfinished business, you cant fight them all.

                Lacy then Kessler were seen as the best at 168 and Hopkins at 175.

                Williams has moved up and in the mean time Cotto fought Margarito, Mosley and is fighting Clottey while Williams is fighting at 160.

                Im not hating on Floyd he is a true great but i would like to see him fight the guys us as fans know would really trouble him.

                  he never fights people that will give him a real challenge so we're always rooting for the underdog. I would have rooted against Ali and Tyson too at the time. Americans love an underdog.

                    Cotto is not huge you're wrong. Going up in weight has as much to do with height as weight. Cotto is a very short WW. He has a 67" reach, he would be a TINY JMW. Some people have the frame to go up and down in weight more effectively, Cotto does not.

                      Being there doesnt mean you know why Leonard too that fight, he even said he saw Hagler's poor performance prior to that and Hagler himself told his manager he was about to hang them up, also, Floyd fought Oscar at 154, he didnt move around nowhere near as much as Leonard did in that fight, Leonard gets credit for the way he "fought" and Floyd doesnt get any, sad and disgusting.
