    Clottey is better than Hatton. Diaz is better than Jennings. Margarito is better than the version of De La Hoya that Pacquiao fought. That's IMO. Or did Pac make them look bad and Cotto make them look good? I think Cotto has fought the better competition, but it is a interesting question.

              Cotto...Clottey's better than Hatton...Diaz and Jennings both are nothing special...DLH was washed up and appeared drained...Margarito isn't that good but he's better than that DLH...

                Clottey is tougher than Hatton, the rest is about even, so Cotto has fought better opposition.

                  Before the actual fight.


                  Hatton > Clottey
                  Diaz = Jennings
                  Oscar> Marg


                  After

                  Hatton < Clottey
                  Diaz = Jennings
                  Oscar < Marg

                    nail on head.

                    I think the manner in which Pac defeated his last three opponents has lowered their value in a lot of boxing fans' eyes.

                    Meanwhile, Cotto has had some drawn out wars, and made his opponents look very good.

                    Its all murky whether as a previous poster said, Cotto made his opponents look good and manny made his look bad... or that Cotto has fought harder comp..

                    No way to tell really, until the 14th
