    And he probably has 2-3 fights left in him.
    thats Real Talk

      I agree an Undfeated record aint **** all it means is that u havent fought a fighter that can beat you yet. To state the obvious! But u get me, everyones beatable. Marciano the only Undfeated HW champ ever, in ur opinion is he THE best ever, he'd beat Holmes, Tyson, Lewis, Ali ect..? I doubt it. Not to slate the Rock tho im a big fan.

      Cotto is a G. Throwback Fighter with Balls like a Bull! Gives his all everytime out and has a heap of skills to boot, he's not perfect but he's my favourite fighter by some way right now and top 3 or 4 all time.

      U know u have to have questions about his two losses now, Tony - not a man on this planet will convince me his gloves werent loaded that night! And now theres all this **** about Pac on Roids which on hind sight looks pretty feasible, id like to beleive Pac is clean but he'sgonna have to take the tests and still put on an Explosive showing before i think he's inocent

        What? Jesus man, how easy do you think it is to get in the HOF? Paulie is not even a good champ for today. No matter what he did with the rest of his career he has no chance whatsoever to get in the HOF. Clottey while a great fighter and the potential to get in simply hasn't beaten enough great fighters to do it.

        HOF is for fighters like Mosley and Pacquiao. It's not just for every champion that is good. Even in that list, which is very good there aren't two other guys that could make it. Judah at a massive stretch (though I don't think so) just because of his two time JWW champ and Undisputed WW champ (even that's not enough though really) but Margarito won't make it in and no one else will either. HOF is for the best fighters of all time, not any old champion and especially in today's age of champions, you have to be real good to get in.

        Nonetheless, the TS is right. An undefeated record is nothing if you aren't beating the best your division has. If you fight everyone you will invariably end up losing at some point. It doesn't mean anything.

          I said may end up doing enough, as in Clottey could beat Pacquiao, and Paulie could keep building on the new momentum he has.

          Margarito has a pretty solid body of work, and his career isn't over yet. Judah is a stretch I'll admit, but there's always guys that can sneak into the HoF, and Judah was a pretty good fighter.

                  This is one of the main reasons why I was always drawn to his fights, he’s one of the few that actually meant to fight any man you out in front of him win or lose.

                  Although I was also one of the few who were against his decision to fight Yuri because of the size differential especially after such a one sided beating from Pac I have to take my hat off to him for refusing any pampered come backs.

                  Peace.
