How can you put Miguel Cotto on the list, he still hasn't fought hasn't fought the best at 140 like Mayweather and Hatton.

Its a bit insulting to some of the greats who have fought at that weight, Cotto's talented but so are a lot of fighters.

Cotto, Trinidad, DLH, Mayweather?! Huh? Please tell me that's your list over the last 10 years and not all-time.

Aaron Pryor (should be the top of any 140 lb list)
Julio Cesar Chavez
Barney Ross
Wilfred Benitez

. . . maybe Kostya Tzzyu

**Zab Super Judah** · 07-01-2005, 11:22 AM

Trinidad at 147, yes, 140, no. Cotto will be #1, tho.

I don't think he'll be able to stay at 140 long enough to establish himself as an all-time great. He's just too big.

Hes going to have to, if he wants Hatton and Mayweather, the next great fighters of the new era, and thats long enough.

hmm

How did Benitez look vs Ray Leonard and Hearns? I see he has two losses but get the feeling he might have had his moments in those fights if he was one of the best all-time at 140.

How come Benitez never fought Duran?
