            So what if Cotto is short? He is a good fighter, and that's all that matters.

              Truthfully alot of fans judge size on those things but I never do. I hate it when people argue about it too. I think size in boxing is just one single thing and thats weight and more specificaly fight night & walk around weight. The other things matter but to me they are just natural attributes. Like alot of guys try to say that someone is clearly the bigger fighter just because there tall and or have a long wing span but I always tell people to look at Paul Williams & Mike Tyson. The point is its the weight thats the main thing. I think its totally fair for a 6'5 guy to fight a 5'5 guy if they both weigh the exact same thing. I think its a totally even fight and everyone has there advantages but the one single advantage that matters in boxing is the weight because people sometimes gain like 20 pounds after a weigh-in why another guy may not be able to gain any

                  also, the reach thing can be disputed. Your list was based on wing span but alot of people think the one arm reach thing is more accurate. Floyd has freakishly long arms but a pretty skinny back so his wing span may not be great but he has a great reach

                    I said this before, I'll say it again: Cotto is a good fighter. I picked Cotto to win when he fought Judah, Mosley, Margarito, Jennings and Clottey.
