    Maybe I did go overboard with the raping but beat them clearly, yea. My bad.
    But the thing is, Paul Williams is more or less considered a bum on these boards, yet he holds a win over prime Margarito........so was that just a bad matchup for Margs, or is Williams better than what we give him credit for....

            Depends how you define elite. He was never a spectacular fighter, but he was most definitely world class.

                Margaritos career is in full question since the mosley fight.elite is even out of the casual fans mind.some of his fans on here make him more then what he really is.other then the cotto win what has he done since 2008? Get crucified by mosley,had a tune up against garcia with 15k buys lol, and later received an ass woopin by pacquiao.if he doesn't get healed in time expect another tune up.

                    What has Cotto done in the last couple of fights? He's had 2 tune ups and got his ass whooped by the same guy that whooped Cotto, so please don't give me this shit on how we are making him out to be more when Cotto Stans do it worse.

                      haha cool man I was assuming you didn't mean that. WW division is tough and depends on how you define ERA.

                      Mosley

                      Possibly those 5 but I definitely see your point.
