Cotto will leave a greater legacy in the sport than Mayweather!

Hernandez, Castillo, Gatti, Judah, De La Hoya.

Out of all of those, only Castillo and De La Hoya stand out as quality wins. Any world class boxer beats Judah, and Gatti and Hernandez were nothing more than place holders.

Rankings are deceiving.

Hernandez = placeholder?


Ahhhh, man.


Stop typing now. You've embarrassed yourself.

What great fighter did Hernandez ever beat? He lost to the only two real good, prime fighters he ever fought - De La Hoya and Mayweather - who both had less than 20 fights. To say he was a great champion is ridiculous. Place holder may be a little harsh but he was nothing special.

Who said 'great'?


You've included Carlos Maussa for Cotto's case. Carlos Maussa. Don't talk about who is and isn't anythimg special after that.


To say Hernandez wasn't a very good champion is ridiculous.


Chicanito didn't fight good, prime fighters excepting the two Legendary ones he was stopped by (moving up in weight for DLH)? LOL, wins over a variety of good former, current or future titleholders and contenders plus a name like Nelson (if past-prime). If names like Jorge Paez and Carlos Hernandez don't mean anything to you, you don't know the opposition to judge it.

Hernandez, a fine, rounded technician, certainly ****s on Maussa, Bailey, Torres, even Malignaggi (hard to admit, as I'm a huge Paulie fan, but that's subjective). That's not even arguable.


You're high. Try again.

He's considered to be a very solid win on De La Hoya's stacked record. That should tell you something.


Chicanito didn't fight good, prime fighters excepting the two Legendary ones he was stopped by (moving up in weight for DLH)? LOL, wins over a variety of good former, current or future titleholders and contenders plus a past-prime but still good Nelson.

Including the likes of Maussa and Bailey etc show thats an evident agenda.

I mean, Mayweather's win over Jesus Chavez is as good if not better than those wins.

Its better than both.

This comment pretty much sums it up,

Hell, if he fought today's Cotto at JMW, I would ring his praises. But I doubt he would take even that risk. He will most likely come back and fight Khan, Hatton, or Spadafora.

Frustration at Floyd. Some stuff about Matt Hatton and Spaddy.



He should have put that at the top of the thread to warn us that there would be nothing impartial about his judgement of Floyd's overall career vs. Cotto's.

Funny you say this about Hernandez when the very same could be said about Cotto. Cotto has lost to the best fighters he's ever faced, yet you have a different opinion of him. talk about biased.

[Kagami Taiga]

Are ppl actually coming on here and ****ting on floyds win over hernandez?? Seriously?? Hernandez is arguably one of the top 10 sfws of all time, hrs beat a number of contenders and his only career losses were to two atgs, one of which was a much bigger fighter.

Kinda easy to tell the ppl who don't know what they are talking about...and no there's no way that cottos resume is better.

[Chunk..]

Timba's on a wind up.

[SCtrojansbaby]

lol Genero Hernandez has the same exact legacy as Cotto
