To be fair. It's hard to dispute these facts.

HOWEVER, the way Floyd ducked prime Cotto for Hatton was slightly disgraceful... although I put as much blame on Cotto for that not happening.

I really don't like the way Arum fighters don't stick up for themselves and call out the best.

Anyway, good list.

Very factual thread.

Their credentials and status don't mean anything according to "The Hate Giver". Its their age that counts.

i think both cotto and hatton were kinda equal at that stage but hatton called floyd out,as we look at it now cotto is the better fighter but remember both hatton and cotto moved up in weight both had been rocked by lesser fighters.

after hatton floyd should have fought cotto which well always come back to haunt him when taking a look at his legacy.

Blame Arum on Mayweather-Cotto not happening.

Which is laughable in itself. Sergio Martinez is a very good and exciting fighter that happens to be 35, but the guys that fight him don't get knocked for it. Miguel Angel Cotto is 29 (not even 30) and is past his prime, but that never gets brought up. Hmm.
