Who holds the better championship fight at 154?

[OptimusWolf]

I think it is a travesty that the 154lb belt could be contested at 150lb catchweight.

Completely devalues the belt, which, as far as I'm concerned, is still vacant.

So Cotto is the only one of the two with an actual win at 154

I think hes trying to point out that guys like Martinez and Williams would never be considered cherry pickers if they were fighting guys who consistantly had 15-20 pound weight advantage on them.

Exactly. Cherry picking to this ts is picking the bigger guy.
His boy and Martinez calling out midgets is not cherry picking.
I'm a newbie, yet I watch boxing smarter than this ts.

Go back to this forum when you have realized that
height DOES ****ing matter in any contact sport.
Why do you think Pac/May vs Wiliams/Martinez are
not happening? Because they don't bring anything to
the table? Give me a fkng break! Look, just because
you've watched a lot of boxing doesn't mean you
have some kind of authority. You don't. Maybe history.
Yes. But when it comes to analyzing fights, yours is
as worse or as good as anybody else's. It's not rocket
science.

The only reason Floyd or Pacman won't fight Martinez or the Punisher is because they will lose!!Boxing is a business & in that business superstar fighters are protected!!What does analyzing fights have to do with anything??U can't analyze a fight that isn't happening to begin with!!They bring a lot to the table,real competition that would sell,But they are to risky,Pacman is a cherrypicker,just like Floyd,it is what it is!!

plues fight was at full 154lbs limit

Yes 154 is the limit but technically Jr Middleweight is anything from 148-154.

We have become so accustomed to naturally bigger fighters coming down to a fighting weight and only having to lose the minimum to qualify for a division. But I agree that asking Margarito or any other fighter to lose more then they have to qualify for a division is criminal but they do it willingly for the pay day.

Cotto didn't do anything in the 154 division to technically merit a shot at the title but he was way more accomplished then any other so-called contender at 154. Tons of people were posting that Foreman was too big, too strong, too fast for Cotto. They said that even if he didnt have a lot of KOs at 154 he would hurt a shot smaller Cotto. They said Miguel is already too short for 147 let alone 154. Now haters want to crap on his title? Cotto can't win for losing.

But to be honest Dzinzurik is the legit 154 champ. Not Manny nor Cotto.

wow...what an unbiased thread........lol

[jrosales13]

Spinks at least fought elites and at the time had they fought even a shot Spinks would have been the slight Favorite






not saying Cotto should have fought Cory instead

Cory would not have been the favorite at the time...

And, no Cory was not better than Foreman at the time.

Yea Cory had fought elite in the likes of Mayorga, Judah, and Taylor...But, that was not the same Spinks as this version of Spinks who lost to k9 FFS's...

And, he was better than Foreman? GTFOH...
