    The two's resume's at Welter are SICK.
    Actually its not if you base it off accomplishments. Margs has Cotto beat pretty easy.

    But overall they are sick in the last couple of years. They took the risks OTHERS DIDN'T.

        Compare that pendejo.

          Yeah man. Cheers. I was really hoping Pbf did not retire that time to fight the winner of Cotto-Marg. There would have been a much clearer undisputed champion at WW that time. It is still muddy now. Hopefully, we get the winner of pac-clotter and pbf-mosley to fight.

            This is gonna change with Mosley manning up and fighting Floyd. And LMAO at Cotto being a risk taker. I guess that's why Daddy Arum told him to fight Michael Jennings or else. Who's the one manning up and fighting Floyd? It certainly wasn't Cotto. It was up to Arum for Cotto where as Mosley got up into Floyd's face on TV. Mosley's tune ups at 147 > Cotto's tune ups at 147.

            Estrada and Collazo are better than Gomez and Jennings.

            And when it's all said and done, Mosley is gonna have Floyd, Cotto, and Margarito on his resume. I had Mosley winning against Cotto in a close fight too.

                Too right. Cotto is a great boxer, and he never ducked anybody, he was unlcuky to lose to margarito cos toyn could have had his hands w****ed with that plaster.

                  I think it's too early to tell. His career might end within two years or so.

                    Judah has talent but when does he ever use it??

                    Margarito also has at WW.....Martinez, Randall, Lewis, Diaz, etc. PLUS more than 7 defense titles. Cotto may be a more "skilled" boxer in the movement department but he isn't better than Margs at WW. He isn't going to do much either at 154.
                    An overhyped Williams that beat Margarito. He beat Mosley who beat Margarito also and Margarito never faced a fighter of Pacquiao''s caliber and as hot as he was. Cotto faced better opposition IMO

                    BTW Martinez was green and they weigh in over 147 (Martinez 148) so it was a JR Midleweight fight, it doesn't count on his WW resume.

                      If Cotto does make it to the HOF, Benji Esteves and biased judges helped him get there.
